And it's as legal as a wristlock!

I will have another update on the Presidential contenders later this week (perhaps along with the other things I keep promising and continually put off.) Lots of changes since my last update so we'll see whose stock is up and whose is down. I've also added a new person to the list. You'll have to wait to find out who.

Saw an interesting study...at least to me. An article in Slate was talking about how the bigger a house a CEO owns, the worse the company's stock does. Obviously, it's not a perfect study as the article says square footage can buy you completely different houses in NYC and Wichita, Kansas but it's pretty interesting nonetheless. Here's the link if you want to check it.

I need to get around to selling some of my stuff on eBay. That was one of my New Year's resolutions but that's one I haven't started (I've done most of the others thank you!). Probably wouldn't get much money but it'd be nice to get a little cash for some of the stuff I'm not using.

Grindhouse comes to theaters Friday. I asked my brother excitedly if he wants to go see it. He responded just as excitedly "No." I hate him sometimes.

Robyn failed miserably in her bracket challenge to beat me. Of course I didn't fare so well either. I think I finished 5th or 6th in that 12 person pool. I can't remember. And just like last year it fell apart in the Elite 8. Both years I had all four of my Final Four teams left. Last year I got one of them right. This year I got two but it was the wrong two since I had UNC and Kansas in the title game. Oh well. Maybe next year.

In my mandolin lesson yesterday we started practicing picking and instrumental breaks. Let's just say I'll have to work on that some. I understand it but it's a bit difficult to put it together. Maybe the light bulb will go off like it did with chords.

DaimlerChrysler says the Chrysler division is for sale. That went well.

Iran is freeing the British hostages they've had for about two weeks as an "Easter gift" to the British. I can't wait to see what Ahmadinejad gets me!
