Thinking of Seeing Dick & Jane?

Well, don't. Warning: This contains some spoilers. But the biggest spoiler is the movie itself. Fun with Dick and Jane was funny for like 30 seconds altogether and then got real bad, real fast. It starts out with this married couple who have this nice house and are looking prosperous. Then the wife quits her job a couple of hours befor the husband's company tanks, and the husband and wife are unable to find work for several months. So the husband steals various patches of lawn from all the houses in the neighbourhood to compensate for his lack of a lawn. Then the pair go out and start to hold up stores. Luckily, they had this faithful Latina nanny who did not mind not getting paid for her services. I think her name was "Fido."

Was the ending really good? Who knows. 48 minutes into it, I thought to myself would I rather watch the rest of this movie, or would I rather be sleeping? Lying in my bed soon thereafter, I was confident I had made the right decision. I have not walked out of a movie since Leonardo DiCaprio's disaster The Beach, and since then the only movie I have heavily considered walking out on was Leonardo DiCaprio's other disaster Gangs of NY. But don't let me get started on that 3 hour mess of plot randomly thrown together into a big steaming pile of poo. Oh, anyway I give Dick 0.5 stars, mostly out of pity. Wait for it to come out on TV. And then don't watch it.

Oh, this is madddd old, but still a classic in the humour department. Seen this commercial for zazoo condoms?

Oh, so it was a good Christmas. I got 800$, and when I thought about that I realised that it's time for me to get off my parents' teats. Hopefully by this time next year I'll be more independent. I was thinking about how awesome my Paypal MoneyMarket account is, and as I started thinking about it, I started wondering "Hey, maybe it's too good." Yeah, it is. I found out that it is NOT FDIC insured. But it has a 4.22% interest rate, which is the highest I've ever seen. So I figure I'll keep a max of 1000$ in it and then when I have about that much I'll transfer it into a CD, maybe from ING Direct cause they have pretty good rates, so if something happens I don't totally get screwed.
