Disney or Bust

credit cards can be such a pain. According to Creditcards.com "Of the households that do owe money on credit cards, the median balance was $2,200". Amazing. "51 percent of the US population has at least two credit cards" Well, I decided to change my ONE credit card from my previous employer's card to the Disney Rewards Card, because with all the purchasing we do with gas, food, etc these days, why not get rewarded? It started with free balance transfers and then with 1% towards Disney money. Basically it works like this: $300 (for fuel each month) x 12 = $3600 and $200 (for groceries) x 12 = 2400, makes $6000 per year...or $60 towards disney purchases. Add in Car repairs and airplane tickets and other expenses, it's easy to see how an extra $100 towards a disney vacation each year could be possible. Kinda cool....as long as you pay off your bill! 0% credit cards

Jesus, the Cat.

In honor of the laughable incident in Sudan*, last night I renamed our cat (Misfit) to Jesus.* I think she likes it and I think God the real Jesus likes it too.* She was given to us by our friends as a house warming gift and as "Abram" became "Abraham" and "Saul" became "Paul," it was only fitting for "Misfit" to become "Jesus."* No word on how Radical Fundamental Christians are handling this news.* fyi: *Sarcasm - Noun - witty language used to convey insults or scorn.

Hejsa means Hello

Did you know: that my blog gets a ton of hits from international readers? wow, huh? Seriously, as a part of my reverse stalking of my readers, I have found that people from Russia, Spain, Switzerland, and just today someone from Denmark (Hejsa!) And speaking of International, another "dyk" is that DialAFlight has Holiday Offers for all budgets. Check it out and come visit the land of the fattened turkey. flights to Florida

Mitt Romney, Bloc Party, and This American Blah

I was listening to NPR last night, "All Things Considered" to be specific, and Mitt Romney was being interviewed by the always annoying Robert Siegel. Mitt was awesome, moody, well spoken, and for the first time, I feel like I might be leaning towards a political candidate. In the end, he basically tells RS that he's an idiot for asking to go more in depth with a question from the CNN/Youtube debates whether Mitt felt the bible was alagorical stories or "the word of God;" Mitt's point: as if this has something to do with being able to lead the nation. He's right. That's why I only like Melissa Block. Some favorite lyrics right now (from Bloc Party's "Little Thoughts"):

This world ain't just m, m, m, made of facts Every half hour is a countdown If it's 'cause of my age then you're a coward If it's 'cause of my age then you're a coward If it's 'cause of my age then you're a coward

And honestly, could "This American Life" be hosted by two more boring people? Ira Glass and Sarah Vowell have the saddest, lonliest sounding voices on radio. (You would recognize Sarah's voice from the hit Movie "The Incredibles"...good lord, I thought it was just for the movie) They have some funny stuff now and again, but seriously, "The American Life" brought to you by XANAX®.

This is the kind of day I'm having...

I'm not sure what David Bowie has to do with my horrible day...but honestly...if I had to dress up like that and dance and sing, I'd want to kick my own ass. I especially like the ending where Bowie tosses the baby up in the air and it's clearly a rag doll of some sorts. too funny.
