Planners of the Spiral Bound Variety

Ryan and I have pretty much decided not to go to North Carolina over Christmas. Mostly because we want to be selfish and immature for a while by spending our money on going to the movies and out to eat rather than a rental deposit. Of course, this kills that part me of that's obsessive about planning and scheduling and...planning. Did I mention planning? Speaking of which, I really need to buy a new planner. I still carry around high school-esque spiral bound planners. For some reason writing things out by hand calms the obsession with planning more than typing it into my phone or laptop calendar. But my planner ends on December 31st, and I have things to plan through at least February! It's driving me absolutely insane not to write down the date my lease is up or the day I'll be flying home to Greeneville. Not that I've even decided on a date for that yet, but how can I when I do not have a planner to help me figure out what the best options are? No I cannot use a calendar, are you joking? Only an old school planner like the ones I rock have the answers to such questions. They even have the answer to the universe. I'm not telling; get your own know-it-all planner.

I saw The Changeling tonight with Ryan on base. We liked it. Kind of art film-ish. Most of the Marines were bitterly disappointed with it, but Ryan and I actually enjoy art films and their strange cinematography, awkward dialogue, and not always happy or conclusive endings. So we liked it. We probably liked it more because we only had to pay $1 each to see it. I'm already reeling from the amount of money we'll probably spend buying full priced tickets to movies over the holidays. We can't stay away from movie theaters. We've tried. It's an addiction. I think we're beyond even support groups, at this point. But we enjoy every minute of our bank-breaking addiction. We even sit through the credits.

I'm going to offer conversion rate optimization to everyone, though I'm not entirely sure what the phrasing entails. I believe it has something to do with having an awesome conversion system for your website? No, thank you. I have my spiral bound planner that can solve all problems; it converts like no conversion ever before. I know. I've seen it.
