Cloverfield

Saw my first movie of the year.

I had participated in the ARG a bit for Cloverfield, but it got too hard to follow (and too much that wasn't actually part of the game seemed to be for a bit).  So I knew a bit about the movie before seeing it.

( Cut for those don't want to be spoiled... )

Quote to Research

Michael Hill pointed out in a Washington Post , this Monday, "forty years ago, the median national price of a house was about twice the median household income. In some parts of the country, this ratio was closer to 1 to 1. Twenty years ago, the median home price was about three times income. In the past 10 years, it jumped to four times income." And in most thriving metropolitan areas, Hill adds, the ratio is far higher than that."

Huh. 

Politics

Obama is looking better.

But I was listening to NPR  - and someone pointed out that Obama is carrying the primary votes in states that will not be giving their electoral votes to a democrat.

Now I need to track down a breakdown and see if that's right.  Gah.
