You know what sounds good? Renting “The Incredible Hulk” and picking up a big greasy pepperoni pizza.
But just as quickly as this thought popped into my head, I rejected it out of hand because I’m still feeling guilty about the money I recently spent on Jazz tickets.
Here is how my brain works:
1. Matt spends money on something he really wants to do.
2. Matt is totally excited but feels bad about spending the money.
3. Matt punishes himself by eating cheap sack lunches and forgoing stuff like a cup of coffee for four or five days.
4. Matt forgets that he’s supposed to feel guilty, rents Hulk and watches it while eating pizza.
Right now I’m on step 3.
But on a positive note, I get to go to three Jazz games in three different cities in just four days with my Mom and Dad. Does it get any cooler? The Jazz are in New York City on a Sunday and then in Philly a couple days later and the next day they are in Washington, D.C. All it takes are a couple of extra Chinatown bus trips and I get to watch my favorite team on an entire road trip AND visit my parents all at the same time.
That’s pretty sweet — and totally worth the money.
Come to think about it, maybe I should rent Hulk to watch on the bus to New York, then scam my parents into buying me a New York slice.

You can count on at least one New York slice, at least one cheese steak in Philly, and if we have to we can share one Ethiopian meal in D.C
Ethiopian? Are you kidding me? Maybe Indian, maybe Chinese, maybe a hot dog. But Ethiopian just isn't my thing.
Thanks for the offer though.
You forgot Step 4: Matt isn't sure whether it's the pizza or the Hulk that's making him a little nauseous.
