Dark Knight
I went to the Dark Knight today with Juli. It is a fantastic movie -- definitely the best of the summer so far. And I don't think anything coming out will be able to beat it. I'll try to do a full review soon...

who am i?
i'm a twenty-something starting this journey called life. i studied microbiology and chemistry in college and currently work as a systems analyst. that means i manage computers (and a lot of them at that -- linux, solaris, os x, and windows). but that's just what i do to pay the bills. less important than where i am at now is where i am going. for quite some time i've had a nagging voice whispering "mission" in my ear. thus the direction i walk. contained in these pages is a log of a bit of that journey (and everything else that i do).
