Why Drive When You Can Jump

I just finished watching Jumper, and it was remarkably good, but hello?? When did he go to Paris? The front cover of the DVD box promised me some Eiffel Tower action. National Treasure 2 pulled the same crap with putting the Eiffel Tower prominently on the movie poster, and yet spending only about 5 actual minutes in Paris. Am I missing something?

Anyways, I actually really enjoyed the film. I think aside from being able to speak any language and invisibility and flying, jumping from one place to another would be my choice super power. Yea, I'm moving it to the top of my list. Can you EVEN IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES?? I think I spent half of the movie shivering in excitement about how he can go from New York to London in seconds.

In other news, I went to the DMV today to get my license renewed. It was a pretty fast process and I can't complain, but yikes. The 16 year olds getting their first ever licenses are TEENY tiny, absolutely too young to even be allowed out of the house alone, let alone given free reign with huge killing machines. And the old people are much, much worse. I saw an old man take his picture for his new license, and I visibly cringed at him tottering along with a cane and his middle-aged son supporting him, practically deaf and being cranky. These folks are allowed to drive still? It's not such a mystery anymore who cuts me off while I'm driving home, by majestically swerving in front of me at the last second to turn right, without turn signals or common decency. Or else they are the ones going 15 on the highway in the left lane.

My drivers license is one of the brand new types, with special color blocks and holograms. It ALSO fails to mention that I am under 21, because I am, in fact, not. Soo excited to flash it at bars and Dominick's throughout the Chicagoland area. The only downside (of course) is that I look slightly drunk. My hair is bangin' though, which is saying something for it being pulled back and in need of a cleaning.
