The Life of Reidy

Last year, I picked up a cheap $50 bike from Walmart, and it did what I needed it to do for about a year. Of course, the problem with buying anything cheap is that it probably won't last as long as would something a bit more pricey. Luckily for those of us on the budget bike, there are some most excellent Beach cruisers that are fairly inexpensive for the quality of a bike you get. I checked out the XYZ bike website, and don't let the "beach cruiser" title fool you, folks. These beasts can handle all types of terrain, and not to mention they look pretty freaking cool. They have a very vintage look while at the same time looking polished and modern, and they definatly caught my eye. Check em out for yourself, I know I'm certainly looking into it.

I'm pretty pumped because I thought I was going to have a pretty full class load my final semester, but now apparently I don't! I recieved my senior audit and I found out that on top of the last three classes I am required to take, all I really have to worry about is 1 credit of physical education and 1 credit of free elective. So basically, I can graduate in the spring and only take three and two thirds worth of classes. I rule.

That is assuming, I pass my computer literacy exam. Heaven help me, I might cry it will be that easy.

I posted recently about how I would love to get into the hobby of cooking more. Well holidays are just around the corner kids, and I might have to make an investment into the Ultimate Chopper which I see so often on those TV infomercials. It pretty much simplifies all the painstaking little tasks of cooking, such as chopping and grating, and gets you on the road to making meals faster. It also helps for those mass amounts of food you have to make for the family, so you can save your energy from all that hacking and slashing and get back to pretending you care what is up with your cousins lately. Even if the family isn't so enjoyable, you know the cooking preperation will be.

I started reading the Runaways recently, and I've been pretty impressed so far. Basically, these five kids hang out with each other once a year when their parents have special meetings together and this year they find out that their parents are actually super-villians creating a plot of some sort of evil. So in turn, the kids Runaway only to discover that each of them was destined to take their parents place someday, and in turn they also have inherited some of their superpowers. Unfortunately since they all have the same powers, they can't actually fight with their parents, so it makes for a lot of interesting dynamics. I can't wait to see what the rest of the series unfolds for me.

God, I love comics. And Kevin, for letting me borrow it.
