Not a lot going on this morning but I eventually called the insurance company to make a claim on my dented bumper. After that I headed out to the body shop to get an estimate. When he was looking in the computer to get my phone number he read off one that sounded familiar but wasn't mine. And with the advent of cellphones and their contact lists, I don't remember numbers anymore. So I got my phone out and figured out it was my sister's number. Then he mentioned another number, which I also had to look up, and it was my mom's. Kind of sad that I don't know those numbers. But now the shop has my number. I commented on how all of my family had used the shop at one point or another, including my brother, who's truck had been taken out there yesterday after his accident. Later on my dad mentioned that he had gone through the same process with them listing everyone but him. Anyway, after my deductible, it is going to cost around $350, which is a lot less than I was expecting. The plan is to go with an all new bumper because it was only $150 more than trying to fix mine, it won't take as long, and it will look as good as new. I'm putting it off for a month until Spring Break when I'll be off work and won't have to worry about getting rides places. Not that I really go places.

With the rest of my day I read in my book, did computer things, and watched movies. First I watched Push, which is a movie I don't think I ever saw all of. At least not all at one time. I could be wrong. I think I remembered all of it, which would lead me to believe my first statement on the matter is false. Whatever. It's a good movie. Not a great movie but few movies are. And I'd watch it again.

I took a break after the movie and played some BF4. I ended with some Conquest on Operation Locker but I started with several games of Domination on a pistols only server. That was a lot of fun but also required a lot of mouse clicking. It also pointed out how awful I am with a pistol. And the game in general.

After that I watched The Incredibles. Not really an appropriate movie for kids. There are a lot of bright colors and a lot of action but there's also a lot of dark stuff. There was a lot of talk about death, kids getting beat up, references to sex, and I lost track of how many bad guys were killed. And other stuff that I can't remember. I would like to see someone make an in-depth review of the movie and how kids probably shouldn't be watching it. Just my opinion.
