So I was watching "The Day After Tomorrow" yesterday and remembered with fondness the era of the disaster movie. It seemed like for the past 10 years or so the disaster movie always had a place in summer movies. We had 2 meteors heading for earth, a couple of volcanoes erupting, a couple of big storms, and a couple of killer virus movies. There were also some TV movies about ice ages and killer earthquakes. What if all of those predictions in Revelations was predicting the seasons of disaster movies and not actual disasters? If that is true we can rest easily. A new era is upon us, the era of the remakes. Now we are content with redoing Bewitched, the Dukes of Hazzard, Batman, Wonka and I hear the Smurf's are coming to the big screen. After watching "The Day After Tomorrow" I flipped it over the local hurricane coverage hitting Mexico. I don't think we'll see any of it here in Dallas. I do think though, the most probable disaster to see would be a massive storm that builds up. I figure all we need is the jet stream in the right place and we can get a hurricane to have a path solely on water. It could then build up large enough to cover the globe and destroy everything. This all leads me to my next invention - "Brian Bass's Global Air Conditioning." The idea is to create 2 sheets of plastic encircling the globe. All of the humidity in the air will then be sucked into the void and the clouds will be contained in it. Then whenever we want it to rain we will open millions of holes to let some of it out. When the evaporation happens we will collect it and then redistribute again. We can have a computer monitor it. It will even monitor the temperature as well. I figure we can get a conglomerate of nations to build it. Now that I think about it, that idea is really, really stupid. I think I'll go back to watching movies...

"I've been reviewing Darren's internship journal. Doing laundry, mending chicken wire, high tea with a Mr. Newman?"
"Well, it all sounds pretty glamorous, but it's business as usual at Kramerica."
"Far as I can tell, your entire enterprise is little more than a solitary man with a messy apartment which may or may not contain a chicken."
