The Bourne Supremacy (2004)(Movie Review)
In the sequel to The Bourne Identity (2002), we find Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) and his girlfriend, Marie (Franka Potente), have been hiding in Goa, India. Bourne still unsure of who he really is has about a half a dozen passports, and is still haunted by nightmares of his past, Bourne uses his skills to keep them off the radar so his former colleagues won‘t be able to find them. But their stay in Goa comes to an end when Bourne spots a stranger (Karl Urban) whose look basically screams “assassin,” at least to Bourne. In the ensuing chase, Marie is killed and Bourne resolves to discover who ordered the hit and deal with them accordingly. Meanwhile across the globe, in Berlin, a covert operation run by senior CIA agent Pamela Landy (Joan Allen) goes wrong, two agents are killed and several million in U.S. government funds have been stolen. A fingerprint is the only evidence found at the scene, which leads Landy to a CIA database connected to project Treadstone. Her security clearance doesn’t come close to giving her access to the Treadstone files, but she refuses to stop until she finds out what information they hold. Landy’s investigation involves the theft of $20 million in CIA funds, and pursuing the rumor that a CIA insider is the culprit and that Russian oil tycoon Gretkov (Karel Roden) was in someway involved. She learns Treadstone was a super-secret black op closes down shortly after rogue Jason Bourne quit following orders and started thinking for himself. The fingerprint turns out to belong to Bourne, and an international game of cat and mouse starts. Landy recruits Bourne’s old contact, Nicky (Julia Stiles) and CIA brass Ward Abbott (Brian Cox) to trap Bourne, who is after the mysterious assassin that killed Marie and the people responsible for setting him up. The chase for the truth takes Bourne through Asia and Europe with the action converging in Berlin where he confronts Abbott about his past and in Russia where in a over the top car chase he deals with the assassin and then find and apologizes to the daughter of a couple he killed in his past. In the finally scenes of the movie Bourne is told by Landy what his real name is. (Can you say THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM?)

Let’s All Go To The Movies
Got up about 9 in the morning, took a shower and got dressed. I had to stop by the Dome and pick up my paycheck
(I said it once and I will said it again, FICA Sucks!). I stop by my bank and then went to the Lakewood Towne Center and saw The Bourne Supremacy (great movie, check out my review of it). Since I hadn’t eaten yet I decided to go to Safeway and buy some Chinese food, after doing that I came home.

Who Knew?
You’re Ireland!
Mystical and rain-soaked, you remain mysterious to many people, and this makes you intriguing. You also like a good night at the pub, though many are just as worried that you will blow up the pub as drink your beverage of choice. You’re good with words, remarkably lucky, and know and enjoy at least fifteen ways of eating a potato. You really don’t like snakes.

Burn, Baby, Burn
I worked yesterday at the dome from 7:30 am to about 5 pm. During the day we had an event called Chrome at the Dome which was held in the C lot of the parking lot (I thought it was going to be a lot bigger then it was). It got a large amount of people when it started, but they didn’t stay very long and traffic died off soon after that. In the afternoon we had an event called the US Army Soldier Show - Heart of a Soldier (It was free for anyone to see). So working wise the day wasn’t too bad, what made it hell was the damn unstoppable heat that made it feel like I was in an oven for the whole day (I just know I got burn). So after I got off work I came home and passed out.

Google Is Number 1
I went to MSN and Yahoo, then did a search on the word “search” and the first thing that came up was Google (see even they know Google is better, LOL). So I then went to Google and did the same thing I did on the other sites and the first thing that came up was Search.com (which totally makes sense). I just think the first part is extremely funny.
