A Little Bit of Everything at the RPR

* Note: I didn't get a chance to get any Nuggets of Wisdom from Andy on Monday, so please allow me to take a raincheck on that item until Tuesday.

- I'm not gonna lie, movies are expensive these days. You go to the movies, they get you coming and going: around $10 per ticket, and the price of purchasing popcorn or a soda could be the equivalent to a down payment on the plot of land that the movie theater chain will use to build their next location. But I've found a way around this: the matinee. The Jessica and I attend a movie on Sunday afternoon (!) and were flabergasted when the tickets were only $6 a piece. Unbelievable. I think we were shocked since we hadn't been to the movies in the afternoon in quite some time. Plus the weather was horrendous, so movies was a good call.

We saw Friends With Money; In other words, Jessica saw a chick flick and I watched Jennifer Aniston, so it all works out. In all honesty, the movie wasn't bad, had some funny moments, but left a bad taste in our mouths after the lame ending. You know how that is: movie is pretty good and then it just ends. That's it. Nothing really comes together and you feel jipped. Eh, I'm already over it. Plus Jennifer Aniston wore a French maid outfit in one scene: worth the price of admission alone.

- Who wants to see a rough hockey hit? I was watching Game 1 of the Flyers/Sabres series on Saturday night and saw this vicious hit that Sabres' Brian Campbell put on the Flyers' RJ Umberger. If you didn't already see this, please brace yourself, and luckily Umberger was not seriously injured...



- One thing we all love to bitch about: Gas prices. Most of us have to deal with the rising gas prices, except for those of you in an urban setting who can depend on mass transportation, or if you're on a college campus and everything you need is within a half mile of your residence. Otherwise, you're probably paying upward of $3.00/gallon like me. Good times all around. Your wallet loves you for it. Now check out what the prices look like around the country. It isn't pretty. (Zoom anywhere on that map, and right click on any county for the average prices.)

- Reading the RPR at work? It's ok, a judge ruled that it's perfectly legal to surf the web while at work! So if your boss or another co-worker gives you a tough time, send this article their way and let them know that they've been overruled by the Judicial system.

That's all for now...
