The Only Arithmetic He Ever Got Was Hearing The Referee Count Up To Ten

Our Oscar favorite, The Hurt Locker, cleaned up at the awards. We love war movies, so when I saw a clip for the movie, we HAD to see it and found that it was playing at a local theater weeks before its general release. I purchased the DVD a few months later and have been telling everyone who would listen about how good it is. I guess the Academy was of the same opinion for once. If you dig war movies, it's a must-see, but even if you don't, you should check it out because it's not a visceral movie like Saving Private Ryan, but it's more about the psychological aspect, the camaraderie and intense pressure of an often overlooked aspect of a war, defusing bombs.

Yesterday was a good day. Not only was it nice and sunny out (although still chilly), but we also managed to get to the Apple store and pick up a new iPod. There were so many choices that I had a hard time deciding which one to buy: Nano, iPod Touch or iPod Classic. Eventually, we settled on the iPod Classic since it has the biggest HD for all our music, which will be its sole purpose.

We have nothing planned for later today, so after breakfast, we might go for a run. The weather is better now, so it's time to get in some exercise.
