Festival of the Little Hills

After spending a week at my brother’s house, I went back home for a couple days, now I’m back at Jon’s. The barbecue last Saturday was great. This Saturday is the annual Festival of the Little Hills, for which I helped set up the ice cream stand his church runs every year. I’ll probably be here until Monday. Tuesday, I am planning on going to Kansas City. I scored an interview with one place, which may line up on Wednesday. On the other hand, I got a rejection email from another place. I guess it balances out.

I’ve been listening to the soundtrack to Firefly, which I purchased shortly before leaving Bowling Green. It’s really growing on me. I think it was Reed who recommended it to me, but I could be wrong there. I’ve never seen the show, but the movie, Serenity, looks like it might be worth checking out.

I really have nothing to post about.

Therefore… time for an irrelevant tangent.

Listening to Dead Man’s Chest in my car, I started thinking about how America seems to have a fetish for trilogies (franchises generally stop at three installments, or go downhill after that… generally). Then I started thinking how I like a good franchise and don’t mind even the shamelessly commercial sequels… if it’s done right and doesn’t crap all over the previous stories. I listed all the movies we can look forward to—most of which will probably even be released in 2007. All of the following are pretty much guaranteed to happen:

Pirates of the Caribbean: (untitled trilogy conclusion)
The Bourne Ultimatum
Spider-Man 3
X-Men 4 (untitled… not even really conceived of yet)
Wolverine
Magneto
Terminator 4
Jurassic Park 4
Indiana Jones and the Ravages of Time (working title)
The Chronicles of Narnia: (which one is second?)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The Punisher 2
Star Trek: (untitled)
Casino Royale
The Dark Knight

Did I leave anything out worth looking forward to?
