So, my New Years resolution was to not buy any toys this years. While I do kinda need a new TV (as I only have a 1080I), I can live without it for awhile. I did, however, pick up a new blu-ray player the other day. Oh, and it also apparently plays video games as well (you might know it as a PS3). Now, I found a loophole in my resolution that kept me from breaking it and still acquiring said toy. I traded in my Wii and all the games and accessories. And there we have it. It was a trade-in, not a purchase. Yay for loopholes!

I also picked up a new snowboard and bindings the other day. I found a nice Morrow Fury 155 on clearance, and an awesome deal on Flow Bindings. These were also not a resolution breaker, as they are not toys, but rather Sporting Equipment. Yep, loopholes rock.

Going down to Mt Bachelor this weekend with Jennie and a couple of her friends. Should be an awesome weekend, especially with my new board (and spending time with Jennie, too!).

We went and watched Vantage Point last night. If you wanna watch it, wait for dvd. It gives you the same 15 minutes of story 4 times in a row (all from different “vantage points”, believe it or not…). The last half hour was nice, but that was about it.

I also watched The Assasination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. Other than the fact that this is one long, long and slooooowwww movie, it was absolutely fantastic. Just a completely brilliant and wonderfully done movie. Even in the first 15 minutes you can tell just how great it is. But, beware, becouse it is, as I said, long and slow.
