January 2008

I fully expected to update this blog more often once my student teaching was done, but now I wonder if I ever will update as often as I once did. Probably not. Things have been very busy. I am still teaching, and working another job, and trying to have a social life. I have also been updating my web site frequently with reviews. Check them out! There are also plenty of new episodes of The Good, The Bad, & The Geeky, which is a great podcast! It has really been growing and solidifying what it is. There are now three hosts, including Jon. I'm sorry I don't have anything real to post here. I'm looking very forward to the season premiere of Lost on Thursday. If you know me, feel free to call me about coming over for it. There'll probably be a few people here. And that's, um, yeah that's all for now. I'll post something more fun soon. Have a good week, loyal readers!

Iowa Caucus

The votes are in, and I am encouraged. Michael Moore says that because almost twice the Democrats showed up to the primary as Republicans, Iowa, a traditionally Republican state, will go blue in November. I am not willing to read that much into it, but it was encouraging. Participation in the caucus was up by 93% from 2004, and 2004 was a record year.
Huckabee won the Republican side, and I'm good with that. I like Huckabee, sort of. I was just disappointed that Romney got second because I don't like him. And I was very disappointed in McCain's fourth place finish. I hope he rebounds in New Hampshire.
Obama won the Democrat side. I like Obama, I would just rather he was the Vice candidate. I read his last book, and it was very Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. I like that Edwards has rebounded to second, and Hilary took a third. I'm not a huge fan of Hilary. Biden dropped out, which is a little sad, but he's been done for awhile, so it was inevitable.
As primary season kicks off, I still haven't picked a candidate, or even a party. This is such a clusterfuck race, I don't even know what to think. One thing is for sure though, it'll be an interesting election year.

Happy 2008!

This is the first post in a long while, and the first of the new year. Now that student teaching is over, I hope to be updating this blog once or twice a week again. Thank you all for bearing with me during my hiatus, and hope you will come back now that I have returned. I was on break from many things, not just the blog, but there is still new material on www.actorsnightmare.com with more to come later this week. Check it out for the latest content from me, as well as our weekly podcast, which is also available on iTunes. There is also a short film on that web site that Nick and I did for the holidays entitled The Apartment. Check it out.
