President James E. Faust

President James E. FaustI wanted to post something regarding President Faust’s death this morning. However, I really don’t know what to say because I don’t feel like I’m all that articulate or “deep” when it comes to these types of things.

His death was kind of a shock to me because I didn’t know he was sick, other than him having a hard time with his mobility in the last few years. One of my co-workers Alan told me that the speaker at a CES Fireside he attended this weekend mentioned President Faust had been bed-ridden for the last couple of weeks.

I can’t help feeling a sense of loss because I enjoyed listening to his talks during General Conference. However, at the same time, I do feel comforted because I know he’s in a better place and surrounded by all his loved ones.

The Deseret News has a couple of articles about him, which you can read here and here.

The Bourne Ultimatum

Bourne Ultimatum PosterCorey was getting stir crazy because he hadn’t left the house since his surgery so we went to see The Bourne Ultimatum last night. We really enjoyed the movie. But, then again, we enjoyed the other two as well. I definitely recommend it.

The music in all three movies is just awesome! I love the theme and that “Extreme Ways” by Moby is played during every ending credits. (For those of you who know I’m not musically inclined, other than movie scores, it’s a big deal for me to know not only the name of the song, but the artist too.)

The fight and car chase sequences in each of the movies are unbelievable. I love how crisp and “choppy” the fight scenes feel. It just adds to the feeling that Jason knows what he’s doing, even if he doesn’t know why.

The entire concept of the Bourne films is so fascinating. The movies get me thinking that any of this could and may be possible. They’re very realistic in a fictional way. ;)

PS–By the fact that we went to a movie last night, it’s safe for you to assume that Corey’s doing better. He still has some residual surgery pains, but he seems a lot better than he did before the surgery.
