It's nice to be done

No school, for two weeks. No more working on Saturdays. No more! It feels good. The hit to my income will hurt. But, I'll hopefully get some work on our house-in-progress. And, of course, school is only out for a couple weeks - but damn it Skip! I'm gonna enjoy it!

Hotel Rwanda is an awesome movie. I found it very hard to watch, yes, ->me<-. It'll grip you and twist you all the way through; not for the light of heart. The movie is about the Rwandan genocide a decade ago. It tells the story of a hotel manager who's hotel became a makeshift refugee camp for Rwandan's who were of the wrong ethnicity (Tutsi, sp?). Anyways, you're always wondering when its gonna end, when the mobs will roll in with AKs and slaughter everyone. Gripping.

Another excellent move is The Corporation. It's humerous, smart, informative - everything you could ask for in a film. It does even try to show both sides of the picture, with interviews of several high ranking businessmen. But overall, the movie shows many corporations in a negative light. They argument of the film is quite neat: Corporations are legally persons under the law, but unlike most humans, they don't have a sense of ethical or moral responsibility. Whatever path makes the company the most profit for its stockholders is the path that the corporation takes. And since a corporation is a legal person, it is open to psycological analysis. So they bring in an FBI expert on psychopaths, and show that many Corporations share the same symptoms of people who are psychopaths. Pretty funny, but quite serious as well. Again, a great flik; one I highly recommend.

If you're interested in some satiring of evangelicals (hey, why not!), check out this spoof by landoverbaptist on World of Warcraft evangelism. I was sickened at first (thinking it was for real), until I remembered that landoverbaptist is a satire website (and a damn good one - no pun intended). Then I just couldn't stop laughing. Sorry if this offends you, but I think a little satire of how we Evangelicals go about doing things can be healthy. Oh, and it's meant for a mature audience (18+). You've been warned.

Whoever still has finals to go, best of luck for this last haul.
Peace to all.
