The Bourne Supremacy (2004)(Movie Review)

In the sequel to The Bourne Identity (2002), we find Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) and his girlfriend, Marie (Franka Potente), have been hiding in Goa, India. Bourne still unsure of who he really is has about a half a dozen passports, and is still haunted by nightmares of his past, Bourne uses his skills to keep them off the radar so his former colleagues won‘t be able to find them. But their stay in Goa comes to an end when Bourne spots a stranger (Karl Urban) whose look basically screams "assassin," at least to Bourne. In the ensuing chase, Marie is killed and Bourne resolves to discover who ordered the hit and deal with them accordingly. Meanwhile across the globe, in Berlin, a covert operation run by senior CIA agent Pamela Landy (Joan Allen) goes wrong, two agents are killed and several million in U.S. government funds have been stolen. A fingerprint is the only evidence found at the scene, which leads Landy to a CIA database connected to project Treadstone. Her security clearance doesn't come close to giving her access to the Treadstone files, but she refuses to stop until she finds out what information they hold. Landy's investigation involves the theft of $20 million in CIA funds, and pursuing the rumor that a CIA insider is the culprit and that Russian oil tycoon Gretkov (Karel Roden) was in someway involved. She learns Treadstone was a super-secret black op closes down shortly after rogue Jason Bourne quit following orders and started thinking for himself. The fingerprint turns out to belong to Bourne, and an international game of cat and mouse starts. Landy recruits Bourne's old contact, Nicky (Julia Stiles) and CIA brass Ward Abbott (Brian Cox) to trap Bourne, who is after the mysterious assassin that killed Marie and the people responsible for setting him up. The chase for the truth takes Bourne through Asia and Europe with the action converging in Berlin where he confronts Abbott about his past and in Russia where in a over the top car chase he deals with the assassin and then find and apologizes to the daughter of a couple he killed in his past. In the finally scenes of the movie Bourne is told by Landy what his real name is. (Can you say THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM?)

Got up about 9 in the morning, took a shower and got dressed. I had to stop by the Dome and pick up my paycheck
(I said it once and I will said it again, FICA Sucks!). I stop by my bank and then went to the Lakewood Towne Center and saw The Bourne Supremacy (great movie, check out my review of it). Since I hadn't eaten yet I decided to go to Safeway and buy some Chinese food, after doing that I came home.

You're Ireland!
Mystical and rain-soaked, you remain mysterious to many people, and this makes you intriguing. You also like a good night at the pub, though many are just as worried that you will blow up the pub as drink your beverage of choice. You're good with words, remarkably lucky, and know and enjoy at least fifteen ways of eating a potato. You really don't like snakes.

I worked yesterday at the dome from 7:30 am to about 5 pm. During the day we had an event called Chrome at the Dome which was held in the C lot of the parking lot (I thought it was going to be a lot bigger then it was). It got a large amount of people when it started, but they didn't stay very long and traffic died off soon after that. In the afternoon we had an event called the US Army Soldier Show - Heart of a Soldier (It was free for anyone to see). So working wise the day wasn't too bad, what made it hell was the damn unstoppable heat that made it feel like I was in an oven for the whole day (I just know I got burn). So after I got off work I came home and passed out.

Google Is Number 1

I went to MSN and Yahoo, then did a search on the word "search" and the first thing that came up was Google (see even they know Google is better, LOL). So I then went to Google and did the same thing I did on the other sites and the first thing that came up was Search.com (which totally makes sense). I just think the first part is extremely funny.

I spent the weekend at Chuck and Gerri's place. We spent the whole day Saturday just sitting around and doing nothing. Sunday, we went out to a Dodge dealership in Enumclaw and waited around for about three hours (a lot of people + heat + free stuff = rude and pushy people) to get Kasey Kahne's autograph. After we got our autograph we went back to their place and watched the movie Eurotrip (unrated) on Comcast's ON DEMAND channel (Great movie by the way). Monday, I pretty much just sat around and did nothing.

Blogger's New Release

I leave for the weekend and Blogger goes and releases a new version of their post editor. It has a compose mode which lets you control the text with the help of feature buttons (which are only available on certain browser). I tried it using Mozilla's Firefox and found it to be a little too bug infested to use at this point, so I will be using the HTML mode for post (besides I need to learn how to use HTML more anyway).
If you are interested in known what went into making this new version check out Massless's blog.

While reading another blog I find out about a site called BlogShares which is
"a simulated, fantasy stock market for weblogs where players invest fictional money to buy stocks and bonds in an artificial economy where attention is the commodity and weblogs are the companies. Anyone can play BlogShares for free, and ownership of a blog is not a requirement to participate. You need simply to register to receive a virtual $500 to start investing."
So I type in Dozer98444 and this is what came up:

So I did what anyone would do, I signed up and bought as much stock as possible of my blog. You should do the same.

It Isn't Just An E-mail Account, It's A Gmail Account!

I know I'm like the last people on the internet to post about Gmail. I just don't see the big freaking deal about it (maybe the fact I was one of the first people to get one has something to do with it), I do recognize the fact that because of the 1GB of space Gmail gives that Yahoo and others had to finally increase the space they give. So anyway, I have 5 Invites burning a hole in my account. All you need to do to get it is leave your initials and email address in the comment section, the first 5 get one.
D
Update: 0 Left, I hope everyone who got a Gmail account, enjoys it. If I get anymore I will make another post to give them away.

Being Haunted By Ghosts From The Past

Earlier today I ran up to Walgreens to buy some soda and a few other little things. While I was there I ran into a friend from a few years ago, so we started talking and then she asked If I knew how my ex was doing (lets just clear something up, no one wants or likes to answer questions or talk about their ex). I said no with a slight attitude, shortly after that we said bye and I went on my way. Well for some reason I started having flashbacks of my ex (not the mushy romantic kind of flashbacks, I'm talking about the kind of flashbacks soldiers have when they get back from war). When I got home I jumped on the computer and checked my e-mail, while listening to KUBE 93.3 FM, I heard a song by Avril Lavigne called My Happy Ending and my first thought was why couldn't this song have come out when I was with my ex. It is a great song and it is dead on with how I felt, so I went to MTV and watched the video for the song a couple of times. The flashbacks are gone and I actually feel better for dealing with it.

Is It A Browser Or Is It Swiss Cheese
Posted by Xyiko | | Posted on 6:51:00 PM

Well after reading that the US-CERT (U.S. government's Computer Emergency Readiness Team) was recommending not to use Internet Explorer and even Microsoft owned Slate said to use Mozilla's Firefox browser. I decided to give Firefox a chance and apparently I'm not the only one according to PC World. I do have to say it has been a great experience. The tab browsing would have to be my favorite feature, but it does take a few days to become totally comfortable with it. I still haven't cut IE out of my surfing habits all together, some sites have features I need IE for and other won't work at all (these results are only due to website incompatible and not due to a browser problem). I am hoping that it won't be this way forever.

Got up at 9 and watched The Screen Savers episode I missed the day before. I was still tired so I went back to bed. So about 11:50 I got woke up by my cell phone, it was Gerri asking if I had their new cell number because she needed to call chuck but couldn't remember the number. After I got off the phone I figured I'd just get up and washed my clothes. I threw my clothes in the washer and jumped on the computer (I have been totally obsessed with this game called SuperPower, I bought it about a year ago and couldn't go a few minutes without nuking the planet. So I decided to give it another chance and I'm actually doing pretty well). Watched today's episode of TSS (The Screen Savers) and put my clothes in the dryer. Got back on the computer and checked my e-mail and did some other stuff.

Rewind Back A Few Days For A Sec

I was suppose to go over to Charles and Gerri's place for the 4th, but when I woke up that morning I didn't fell like going anywhere; So I called Chuck and told him I wasn't coming over. I mostly just sat around and watched television and went on the computer. About 9 o'clock I started hearing fireworks going off, I went outside and watched for a while.
Charles called me when he got home from work on the 6th and asked if I could help him move some cabinets to his mom's house. So, Jeremy, Charles, me and their cousin Tony meet up and went to get the cabinets, well the place we went to didn't have them ready so we couldn't pick them up. We all went back to Chuck's place and play GameBreaker 2003 on the PS2 after playing for a while Jeremy and Tony took off. Charles Gerri and I watched television until 11 when Chuck passed out. So Gerri and I went out to the living room and talked until about 4:30 in the morning. She went to bed and I crashed on the living room floor. Chuck left at about 6 a.m. for work. He called about 9 a.m. and said he was sick and asked Gerri to pick his up from work. When we got back we played more GameBreaker 2003 and waited for Jeremy and Tony to come over so we could move the cabinets. They come over about 3:15; we got the cabinets and moved them to his mom's place. We all hang out for a little while after we finished then I came home and passed out.

Let's Rock This Joint
Posted by Xyiko | | Posted on 3:06:00 AM

Went to Hells Kitchen tonight with Shirley and Jon. I again just have to say this place totally ROCKS. The first band to perform was The Smooth Pursuit they kind of sound like The Vines with a little Nirvana threw in for flavor. The next band was Hilborne, they had good sound (rock mixed with a slight touch of blues). But the lead singer looked and acted like a David Bowie/Mick Jagger reject which really took away from the band's overall performance. The last band I saw was Blank Generation and they are what the words rock band stand for (loud and hard). They just rocked the joint so hard it almost collapsed.
I came home and entered this post; I am planning on going to bed after I finish writing this.

Ethiopian Night at Meydenbauer
Posted by Xyiko | | Posted on 5:07:00 PM

I left the Dome about 7 and got to Meydenbauer about 7:30. I got changed into my uniform, signed in and waited for where I was going to be placed. At about 8:30 I found out that I would be working ID check at the beer garden with Meagan. So everyone got briefed and we headed out about 9:20, because the doors opened at 10:00. Well, apparently there was a soccer game going on and wouldn't be over until 11:00, so no one showed up until about 11:45. Once it got started it was pretty cool. A few too many drunk people and instead of giving them a hand stamp or something to prove they were 21 we have to check their ID every time they came through (I seriously think we could of used a type of mark so they didn't have to keep showing ID). It ended about 4 and we all got out of there about 4:30. I got a ride from Meydenbauer to a few block from my place from Monica and Ben. I got home about 6:30 and passed out until about 1.
I called Chuck because I missed his call yesterday, but he didn't answer so I left a message. I still don't know what I am going to do today or if I even will do anything.
