Full Disclosure

Saw this at a short film festival. I think it's well worth the $2 on iTunes. It's clever and well written.

As snow falls more and more in Steamboat,

we the people support fossil fuels and climate change.

IQ != Success

So, in my normal procrastinating way I was reading stuff online and came across the site Tickle.com which gives an IQ test. I did it and got a 138. I thought to myself, that's pretty high, but what exactly does it mean. So I search for an IQ scale and found one that said 130-140 is very intelligent, just below genius level which starts between 140-145. So I'm feeling pretty good about myself and then I read below "...but IQ should not be given too much weight as studies show self discipline is a much better indicator of success." I am so screwed.

il telefono

“The first sensation this book should convey is what I feel when I hear the telephone ring; I say “should” because I doubt that written words can give even a partial idea of it: it is not enough to declare that my reaction is one of refusal, of flight from this aggressive and threatening summons, as it is also a feeling of urgency, intolerableness coercion that impels me to obey the injunction of that sound, rushing to answer even though I am certain that nothing will come of it save suffering and discomfort. Nor do I believe that instead of an attempted description of this state of the spirit, a metaphor would serve better—for example, the piercing sting of an arrow that penetrates a hip’s naked flesh.”
-Calvino

I don't Love Virgnia

Here's a picture I took in the Shenandoahs. It's just like Tim's picture except:
1. They're Deer
2. They're closer
3. They're too busy eating to pose for my stupid picture

I love Colorado...

because I can go see this for an afternoon. Elk mating season up in Rocky Mountain National Park. Click the image to see the whole album.

Say what you will about AJ, but don't ever question the man's ability to cook meat.
