"As if there were a mirror"

About time to take a nap, but thought I'd write a quick note for no great reason. Did anybody watch the double overtime Suns vs. Spurs game? That was unbelievable.

It was a nice, relaxing weekend spent chilling at the house. Watched P2 and Into the Wild. Both were pretty good and seemed to live up to -- if not beat -- my expectations. I really enjoyed Into the Wild. Very interesting tale there.

Why the sudden increase in movie intake? Well primarily because we opened up a membership at Family Video so now we can rent movies for half-price for a month. Even after that month passes, we'll still be paying $2.80 for new releases and $1.00 for other movies. This is in comparison to Blockbuster where it's $4.50 for new releases and $4.50 for other movies. That's right, I rented The Money Pit a few months ago for $4.50. I could probably buy it at Wal-Mart for $6.00, but I wasn't at Wal-Mart so I paid ridiculous fees to watch that movie. In any event, I don't like Blockbuster because of their stupid pricing structure. They'll give me four rentals for $18.00 or they'll sell me four movies for $20.00 most of the time. Stupid. I hate it, almost as much as Wilbe hates Space...not as much though.

If you take nothing else from this post, know that The Money Pit is a funny movie.

Everyone knows that the space program is a huge waste of money! We could all be living in houses made of gold if they hadn't wasted all of our money on space! When can we come up again I want some more chili and some of those nachos! "wilbe"

I saw the PHO/SA game - it was crazy. Could have been historic maybe, but SA winning it ruined it. Who likes them anyway? Never seen so many bullies that cry so much ;) Go Phoenix! -Ricker
