I for one, have never updated my will before any other trip. And I wasn't alone. Out of the five of us that were going, three updated their wills and/or life insurance policies in the weeks before we left.
Where were we going?

Val Kilmer Wants To Make A Sequel To Real Genius - Cinematical

Every once in a while you come across a bit of movie news that makes you think, "They're kidding, right"? Well, this is one of those times. According to a report on Virgin.net, Val Kilmer has signed on to make the sequel to the 1985 comedy Real Genius.
If you haven't seen it, then I can't really say you are missing anything. The story follows a freewheeling genius (Kilmer) and his uptight sidekick who get duped into creating a weapon for the government by none other than '80s villainous staple, William Atherton. The whole thing plays like a time capsule, and I really don't remember the '80s as being quite that lame, but the proof is all there on film. Kilmer claimed that he signed on to revive his character from the first film in hopes of broadening his career horizons to include more comedy roles. Kilmer has a flair for comedy, as he proved in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and even Top Secret (a personal guilty pleasure), but was the world really crying out for a sequel to this particular flick?
There aren't many details on the production yet, and a shooting schedule hasn't even been announced. You have to wonder if maybe Kilmer is trying to drum up a little publicity for himself ... either that or the salad dressing idea isn't selling like he thought it would.
Val Kilmer is reportedly set to sign up to star in a sequel to his 1985 comedy "Real Genius." The "Tombstone" star recently announced his intentions to take on more comedic roles in the future in a bid to alter his Hollywood image and take his career to a new level.
In the original 80s project Kilmer played Chris Knight, one of two brilliant teenagers who head a team of young geniuses developing a laser for what they believe is a class project and later discover that their professor intends to turn their work over to the government for use as a weapon.

Why would you want to drink this shitty coffee? There are a lot of theories on why kopi luwak is different. Research has determined that coffee passed by a luwak has been changed chemically. Specifically the process seems to break down some of the bean’s proteins which are known to contribute to the bitterness of coffee.
Cripple Creek, Colorado, at 1:30AM on My Birthday, Feb 1, 2007

I got tired of coding, so I went for a walk at 1:30AM. It was about -8F, and snot froze in my beard. But its so quiet here at night. Straight out of the old west...
If you are in the colorado springs area and like slots, and low limit blackjack and poker (big bet is $5), then I highly suggest a visit. I would really like to take the gold mine tours, but they are not open in winter. Cripple Creek is about 50 miles into the rockies from Colorado Springs, is at 9494 feet, and generally kicks ass.
