Well that's probably debatable.  I'm not up on my comic book lore.  Did Superman or Spider-man ever have sidekicks?  The only one I can think of is the super duo team of Batman and Robin.  Although, with the recent installmant of the Batman franchise, I will be willing to forget that disastrous sequel starring George Clooney.

But, I digress.

Remember how I said that when I got my car insurance, they quoted me high but it would like go down once the underwriter looked at my file.  Well, I got my insurance card today for my car and the official quote on my policy...it went down about from $560 to $450 for a six months of coverage...that's $75/month.  Woohoo!

Working another shift at the Ronald McDonald House and since I didn't want to sit at the front desk and twiddle my thumbs all night, I thought I'd update my journal.

Christmas was good this year.  I got to play with my niece who is still as adorable as ever.  I got some gift certifcates, a dvd, a Christmas CD, and a Bath & Body Works kit.  Seems ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm home on a Friday night, what do you have to say about that?  Huh? :o)

Hung out with a friend and saw Syriana at the theater this evening.  Very good movie.  I would highly recommend it.  It's a very serious political film that I found very enlightening.  I liked watching how each of the storylines eventually came together at the end.  Matt ( Read more... )

To help out the current night manager at the RMH, I offered to pick up a relief night shift tonight so here I am at the House with nothing really to do.  They took the TVs out of my room.  So sad.  And the internet is touch and go in there so I'm currently sitting in the office.  Today was my Friday at work so it feels a bit weird being at the ( Read more... )

So I went to a Christmas party with Jenny yesterday with a bunch of her friends. Good times all around. What I find highly amusing is that after we watched Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas (a story in which we learn that the true meaning of Christmas is not the progranda-filled, commercialized holiday that retailers would like us to ( Read more... )

On second thought, let it stop snowing.  I hate the slush and slick sidewalks.  Could careless about the roads since I don't drive...that's up to my Dad to battle through.  The sad thing is that even though we now have a ton of snow and slush, it's way warmer (at 30 + degrees) than it has been over the past few weeks.

My nephew is so cute.  He's ( Read more... )

I just bought myself a kick-ass Christmas present...
