So you know that job interview I mentioned last time? The really important one that I was sure I messed up at? Well, guess what? I actually got the job. Hoorah! I guess I didn’t stumble over my answers as much as I thought I did. Either that or they just didn’t care. At any rate, my first day of work is two weeks from now. Plenty of time to prepare. Actually, if you ask me, the next couple of weeks won’t be able to pass quickly enough.
In the meantime, I’ve just been hanging out with some of my friends here. A few old buddies and I went to catch a game the other day. I know you’re not into football, so I won’t bore you with any of the details. Besides, my team lost, so I’m not sure I really want to remember the details, anyway. But afterwards, we went out for a bite at a bar & grill downtown—a real swanky place called “The Red Ruby” that just opened up last month. (We should go the next time you’re in town for a visit. It’s a little on the pricey side, but the food there was worth it.)
That brings me to my next piece of exciting news: I met a girl at the bar. A real beauty, too. Her name is Emily, but goes by Millie. We got to talking for a bit, and I found out that she majored in History Education at the University of Washington around the same time we were both at the University of Wyoming. She said she had a lot of friends at our college, though, and she’d even been to visit a few times. Small world, hmm? To think the two of us would

Financial Crisis of 2008. The film “The Big Short”, although offering a thorough explanation and summary of the events that transpired, did not quench my sense of curiosity on the subject. For this reason, I decided to interview someone who might offer a different perspective on the crisis. Working in the mortgage industry for almost 30 years now, Lynn Driscoll certainly accomplished this for me. The interview obviously contained numerous comparisons and connections to the film “The Big Short”. Many of…
The Hunger Games Whenever you watch a movie, do you critic the film once it’s over? Do you think about whether the actors/actresses did their part or just didn’t fit in the movie? Most times, I do. I evaluate whether the movie is good or bad, if the actors/actresses played their character well, how the storyline was, and more. But for the movie “The Hunger Games,” I evaluated many aspects of the movie about the gender identities. The movie was really good and exciting to watch because it had action…

The film Easy Rider is a classic underdog indie flick that scored big time. Its estimated budget was $400,000, which is a little bit on the higher side of indie films scale. But what it grossed worldwide was stupendous; a whopping $60,000,000 really shocks everyone. For such a liberal and counterculture movie to bring in this much was excellent. The subject matter in this film is something in which id only assume that the studios would not want to be associated with. The hippy, drug, promiscuous…
