Who is the greatest American in history (according to Discovery Channel viewers)? Is it Abraham Lincoln, the man who freed the slaves and held the nation together during a civil war? Or maybe Martin Luther King Jr., the man who united millions of Americans in a civil rights movement and demonstrated the power of non-violent resistance for obtaining freedom? Or is it George Washington, the beloved founding father and first president?

Nope. Apparently, the greatest American in history is the modern champion of deficit spending, nuclear proliferation, and covert South American terrorist training and armament: Ronald Reagan.

Lego Star Destroyer -

Saturday night Michi and I finally assembled my Lego Star Destroyer. It took us close to 10 hours (we started around midnight). We let my webcam take a picture every five seconds and made a stop motion video out of the pictures (over 7000 of them). The video turned out really cool. It's a little over 4 minutes long and you can download it here.

We dollared this one with Brendan last week. I'm glad I dollared it and glad I saw it.

I'm glad I dollared it because the first half hour was pretty weak. Enter Mike Ditka, and the movie started getting funny. Robert Duvall and Ditka's great personalities added to Ferrell's performance. One thing filmmakers need to realize is that his SNL-esque bits aren't funny and just lose them once and for all. I don't need to see his exaggerated facial expressions and body movements as he hyperventilates.

This movie is pretty much offensive to Asians, Italians, and lesbians, and probably a few other people as well. But despite its stereotypes, it still manages to be funny. From quotes like "I've got balls!" (in a sporting goods commercial) to "Prima le carne" (as a butcher's mantra) to "Way to go, Bing-Bong!" (Ditka's praise of a kid named Byong Sun), I definitely had a few laugh-out-loud moments.

Rent it, dollar it. It has its moments.

What Kind of American English do you speak?

I speak 75% General American English, 15% Upper Midwestern, 5% Yankee, and 5% Dixie. I like #3, which is something I definitely noticed on our trip to David's wedding.

I feel bad that I am neglecting you guys but I have good reasons, I swear. I don't have my own PC with me. I have a new laptop that was given to me that should be on the way and my PC is sitting at Mike's house right now. Hopefully by the end of July I will have my own place for all of it to sit in and be happy.

Now that that has been said there are some big things happening. I have an interview this evening with Citigroup and it sounds really promising. It is a management position. Yeah, holy crap. So be thinking of me this evening, please. I'm totally ready to finally catch that break after almost two months of searching, interviewing, rejection, and all that other junk. I'm ready to settle in and start that next chapter.
