Two weeks isn't very long, but in another way, it is very long.

Vacuums are false.
Late Christmas presents are true.
Royals baseball is true.
Regular sized items at Wendy's are false (though, they have mediums).
Ocean's 11 is true.
Ocean's 12 is false.
Study's are true.
The Office on April 10th is true.

Announcements:
-This month, we are celebrating our 6 month anniversary of living at Haverford West. That means, 6 months of smoke smelling clothes, 6 months of holding our breath while going into the cigarette stenched bathroom, and 6 months of hoping for a nice day outside so we can open the balcony door to air the place out.
And what a blessed time it has been. We hope to have many more similar days together.

-Royals Baseball starts Monday, the 31st, which is quite possibly today for many people reading this. The game starts at 12:05. We wish everyone who loves the Royals a very blissful and winningful day. For everyone else, :p

Triumph Updates:
We have some terrible news: there have been no Triumph points awarded since December 25, 2007 (upon Christmas day!?)
True, some people are striving for them now, but since upping the bar, we have found that there has been a severe lack of new certificates on our wall of glory. This saddens us. Therefore, we shall be doing something very exciting to fix that problem. Just not today.
For now,

-Brett, keep going to class.
-Timothy, if you make it to 120 blogs this year, you may still have your Triumph.
-Jeremy and Katie will start their crossword challenge on April 1st.
-Amanda's ready to go to lots of Royals games. The first being April 11th. Everyone is welcome to come. It is buck night, so that is good.


Roommate Battle Round 2:
Bank Midwest vs. Commerce Bank

Amanda's view: Bank Midwest. Never Commerce. Commerce is taking over the world. We must fight for our freedom. Fie on Commerce! *fist in the air* Arg, Commerce Bank!

Katie's View: I think Commerce Bank is better. It's really convenient, and really, in a bank, what else do you need?

Now, we realize many of you perhaps have not heard of either of these banks (though you'd have to be a blind, handicap person on a motorcycle to not notice the dozens of Commerce branches around the area), but feel free to take a side anyway. These battles are not for helping solve problems, they are for stirring up controversy and causing turmoil between friends. Go on, give your vote, even if you're not sure you know which is best. And w€$hen in doubt, vote for your favorite roommate.

Coming Soon: The rest of the terribly sad and depressing story that has a happy ending, photos of a change in scenery, and Taco Salad Night, the Party.

i'm going to officially vote at the super vote time so as to feel important and like a young effervescent person who is up till all hours having a grand ol' time. this is not something i feel naturally or on a daily basis as i am an aging morning person who gets tired early and grumpy if sleepy. "corn sarn it you kids!"

Well, I know someone who works at Bank Midwest in their IT department. I also know that Commerce bank lost the title to my car and didn't tell anyone. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. :=:

But I'm with Timothy; Credit Union. So using these to comments and Timothy's pre-vote, that's 3 for a write in Credit Union!

Well, my sweetie and I were members of each; him - BMW and me - Commerce.

When we married, we decided to join a credit union. Sadly, we were denied for not having lived in the city part of the city for long enough.

So we moved everything over to Commerce for the convenience.

We had spent many weekends just barely making it to the credit union in time to apply and struggling to contact anyone there or get a call back.

We also had spent some weekends missing the lobby hours at BMW.

But then, we finally drove out to the Commerce branch that is open until 4:30 pm on Saturdays and 'till 7:00 pm on Thursdays and now everything is peachy.

Mmmm peaches.

I side with Katie for convenience.

Well timothy and adam, instead of being selfish and voting for your own, side with the roommate you're 1) related to or 2) like better.

That's another bank midwest for me!
