Dating Update:
Tracie and I decided to have a date day today. We went to see Daredevil staring some guy who got paid a lot to wear a silly red leather mask. Before we went to the movie we stopped at the IGA to buy treats. We smuggled in super nibs, pringles, a pop,and 2 super reeses peanut butter cups (the kind with 4peanut butter cups to a pack). I imagine that would have cost like $40.00 had we bought all of that in the theater.

The movie was pretty good. I enjoyed the effect that they used to describe his super sonar ability, although in the movie he described it as radar. I blame the writers for not knowing the difference between sonar and radar. Anyway the Daredevil uses his super senses, has to pretend to be perfectly blind during the day, falls in love with a girl, gets stabbed by the girl as Daredevil, then girl finds out his true identity. A lesser villan kills the girl, Daredevil fights lesser villian (after being stabbed through the chest mind you), Daredevil beats lesser villan and then fights the "Kingpin" but does not kill the Kingpin even though the Kingpin had Killed the Daredevil's father 12 years earlier. Daredevil realises that Justice can be achieved without killing the bad guys.

One of the most creative parts of the movie was when the lesser villan "Bullseye" uses paperclips to kill a man. He straightened the paperclips out then threw them like darts into the mans neck. He also killed a little old lady on a plane. The granny wouldn't shut up, so Bullseye flicked a peanut, it hit the chair in front of him and rebounded into the Granny's mouth and she choked to death.

After the movie, Tracie and I went to Applebee's for supper and it was just super. There were a suprising ammount of toddlers in the restaurant, but I felt that it was becasue the restaurant is in a really new neighbourhood with lots of young families.

Thinking Outside the Box
It is my opinion that thinking outside the box no longer actually includes the phrase thinking outside the box. That is, you aren't actually thinking outside the box if you use the phrase "thinking outside the box".
