Oliver Stone's
"W."
The Colbert Report Thursday night on The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert interviewed Academy Award winning film maker, Oliver Stone, about his upcoming biopic "W." One thing is very apparent. Stone could be a comedic straight man almost as good as Colbert. One of the film clips shown during the interview (above) shows Josh Brolin as George W. Bush answering a reporter's question. Bush hems and haws in typical fashion. While the film clip is not a verbatim portrayal, it is based on real events. On April 13th, 2004, President George W.

Whether it's a purse, an illegally copied book, a ride on their motorbike taxi, nail clippers or whatever, it's all highly annoying and exhausting. I felt like a dollar sign for most of my stay. I did meet a few locals who weren't selling anything and all went well there, but overall, I was disenchanted with the degree of touting/selling/begging. Scenery/Landscape Sapa's rice terraces were great. After that, nothing really worth mentioning. Halong Bay is a bay of giant rock formations jutting out of the water; it was nice,... (more)

Taper Madness
I put in the miles, did pace runs, speed work, and long, slow runs. My body and mind have been stressed in various and sundry ways. I'm ready. In the wait before the race I fret, I obsess, I hallucinate and hyperventilate. That's right, I've got "Taper Madness!" Event: Dublin Marathon - October 27, 2008
