An Incinerating Experience - Catching Fire: Move Review

I mean that in the best of ways.
     
       I admit that when I sat down to see Catching Fire I was not expecting much.  Although I enjoyed the first Hunger Games book, I found the movie rendition to be a little lacking, and quite honestly I found Catching Fire the book to be dreadful.

       Fortunately, the movie had one advantage over the book in this scenario, it didn't take me inside the emotionally unstable mind of Bella Katniss.  Without suffering her self righteous thoughts the movie was an awesome, action packed experience with beautiful people and a clear, enjoyable story line.

        Indeed, like the first movie it was short in sex and especially violence (I mean seriously, I don't think I saw a single decapitation), but despite that Catching Fire was still thoroughly enjoyable and well worth seeing in theaters.

Google Earth

How come people never talk about how amazing, insanely detailed google earth is?  It is fantastic.  I can explore my own neighborhood and back yard as well as the neighborhood of some random person in Australia, all in first person through street view.
      I can take a tour of the white house, and probably many other famous buildings, the possibilities are endless.  I can travel in time look at a ground zero before and after the nine eleven attack, I can fly a plane down the side of mountain Everest.  Every single time I go on google earth I am utterly amazed.
