Not as impressive at 13 inches...

We just got our internet back today, and I thought I would celebrate by posting.

I have to admit, I loved the Dark Knight. I think it is one of the best movies ever made--they did a superb job contrasting the three main characters all set against a darker than ever set. I saw it at least five times in the theater (once in an IMAX) and I have to admit... it isn't as good on a 13'' TV.

I haven't posted in a while. Ok, never. "Post" probably doesn't count. KPMG flew me out to their San Francisco office to interview for a position in their forensic consulting department--the interviews went well (except for one guy who kept berating me about teamwork...) and I heard back from them before they said they would call--I got an offer. We decided to accept the offer (which was for their Silicon Valley office instead) and we will start with them next September (unless they get busy over the summer and then it could be June or July.) Either way, it was a better offer than we were expecting and the people there are amazing.

Last night was fun: at our most recent employee meeting, we discussed the potential use of our funds for employee incentives, and one girl mentioned that we should do the sub for santa/angel tree program. Everyone agreed and we sponsored a family of two this year: one boy about 18 mos. old and a girl who is about a month. It wasWAY fun shopping with everyone at Wal-Mart at midnight looking for clothes and toys for little kids. My family was very poor when we were younger and my sister and I were recipients of the angel tree program--I guess that's why I love the program so much.

Other than that, school is finished for the semester--just have to finish finals next week and then Christmas Vacation is here!
