One thing I learned in my quest to be debt free (four months away!) is once you pay off your credit cards, CLOSE them. This is often harder than it sounds because you wouldn't believe how much CC companies will try to keep you with...

Big Spoiler: [[SPOILER]] I saw this movie Saturday at 11:40am. The movie was fairly crowded but not packed. My brother in law and my sister liked it, but I pretty much agree with everything Bryant Trew said. I wish they had...

Woohoo! My prescription didn't change all that much. That's always a relief. They told me there's a new scratch coating out called Crizal which has a two year guarantee (if your lense gets scratched, they replace them for free), so I...

Quote: I used to work in an optical lab and can tell you that scratch coating is already applied to all high-index lenses. It must be, because that kind of plastic is very soft and prone to scratching. Don't let yourself be...

Here's an Email I sent to Fandango the day we went to see LOTR, December 26, 2001. Quote: Let me describe my experience of this supposedly "convenient and easy to use" service. The five of us arrived at the theater at...

Hey, that gives me an idea. Why don't they do a remake of Clockwork Orange and put this movie in place of the one they used to "reform" Alex? It would be realistic; Alex squirming, screaming, toothpicks holding up his eyes, etc.
