Lego Death Star

Death Star IIListen Up Ron, Andy and Katie. I’ve found the perfect additon to my collection of Star Wars legos that you all started me on. The next time Christmas or my birthday rolls around I’ll expect to see the Death Star II set from Episode VI. Start saving because for only $300, I’ll finally have a gigantic, incomplete base of operations for my TIE fighters. Measuring in at a full 25 inches… That’s got to be a lot of legos. I could only hope that Matthew wouldn’t get a hold of it after spend six hours putting the whole thing together just to smash in a tragic “accident” 10 minutes later.

Be Cool

Last night we used our FREE March movie ticket to go see Be Cool at Cinemark. Be Cool is about the continuing adventures of Chili Palmer from Get Shotry. Now I really enjoyed Get Shorty, but I would have to say this film was not as creative with it’s plot and characters as in Get Shorty. I think that if you saw Get Shorty, you may be dissapointed. Be Cool basically has the same exact plot except with Chili going in to the music business. However, it’s still entertaining. I’d have to give it any where from a B- to a C.

Eggstravaganza

Matthew Joseph (Wesmere Eggstravaganza) 006

This past Saturday morning, Matthew participated in the largest egg hunt I’ve have ever seen. Wesmere held a egg hunt, where 8,000 plastic eggs were scattered in a field for all the kids to find. It looked like a swarm of locust as all the kids moved from one end of the field to the other. Matthew even had a chance to visited with the Easter Bunny and the Joliet Fire Department.

Update: Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Auto Racing

I choose to start Tony Stewart this week as my A list driver instead of Jimmie Johnson. What a misktake. If I only had stuck with Johnson like I had for the last few weeks, instead of my A list driver coming in 17th, I would have had a 2nd place finish on my team. Stewart was considered to be a solid bet, showing a strong preformance in last spring and fall races at Atlanta. However, I did capture a 1st place finish with Carl Edwards, one of my B list drivers. In fact, both of my B list drivers and my C list driver all did better than Stewart, with Mark Martin and Scott Riggs placing 4th and 9th replectively. With almost all my drivers finshing in the top ten, I did well for my forth week of Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Auto Racing. For the week I ranked 3nd with 330 points, and I’m still holding 2nd for the season with 1143 points.
