Long Time Coming

So I know I've been a terrible blogger. It's okay I don't think I've had anything interesting to say lately so I've stayed quite. My life is boring I work and I come home and I sleep. Honestly that's about it. :D

Last night I went to see Marcus down at the new Trolley Square Wiseguys with my coworker Veronica and my friend Tristan. We had lots of fun and it makes me wish I lived closer to downtown Salt Lake.

Sorry this is such a lame little post. I'll try and make it better next time.

I'm Just a Kid

Stole this from Lisa because I can't resist a chance to show off my strange Itunes catalog. :D

Worlde

So Radio from Hell does this website feature every week and they had this site www.wordle.net where you can put in text and have it make cool art. So I did this with my favorite quotes from my facebook page. Hope you enjoy it. I thought it was cool. :D Sorry if it's kinda small.

Vacation!

So I should have done this a few days ago since I've been home for nearly a week but whatever I guess ya'll should just be glad I'm doing anything. :D I went to visit Mary and her delightful family! It was a surprise for Mary which made it more special. :D It was super fun and a nice relaxing vacation. I spent a lot of time playing with the girls which is exactly what I wanted.

The day before I flew out me, Mary and the girls drove into St. Louis to see the arch and took the girls to the zoo. It was fun the girls loved the penguins and laughed as they swam in their tank. They also really loved the butterfly house. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from the trip.

The first one is a cute little penguin posing, then the girls laughing at the penguins swimming, then the 3 of us in front of the sea lions, then the girls in the butterfly house. Then you have my favorite 3 I took at the arch. Then each girl at the park. They are so adorable!

Super Bowl!

So I'm kinda of a fan of football and I happen to really enjoy watching the Super Bowl. It's not even necessarily about the football. I love the commercials and the snacks and the hanging out with family thing. All that means I'm kind of excited for today's game. It should be a good time and maybe I'll win something in the little Super Bowl pool. Probably not though, I never win. Oh well I'm off to shower so I can go to the party here shortly. :D Go Steelers!

Yay!

In case you couldn't tell from previous posts I'm kind of a fan of Obama. So I just wanted to take a second here to share with you the joy I felt today while watching him give his inaugural address. I'm super happy that he is now our President and I look forward to watching him work, while keeping my fingers crossed that he can fix some of the problems we are facing right now. It will not be easy but I think it can be done, eventually.

Video

So this is my new favorite youtube video. It's from some show that was on in like 2000 or something like that. As I'm sure you can see it is 3 guys singing in drag. I don't know why but I love watching guys in drag. It makes me laugh. These are the guys that are shown in the clip, Kyle Howard, who you probably don't know from anywhere he's been in some TV shows and the movie Orange County; Milo Ventimiglia from Heroes among other things and Chris Evans from Fantastic Four. They are all pretty cute guys but as women the only one who could pass is Evans he actually pulls it off quite well. Good for him. =) Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

Happy New Year!

So with the new year upon us I decided to do something I haven't done in quite a few years I'm going to set myself a couple new years resolutions.

1. Try and get healthier. It's time for me to start eating better and exercising. That's really it I'm sick of feeling like crap because I'm fat. First step is to cut back on my sweets and soda. For a while I was going well with this but the holidays screwed up the sweet thing...

2. Go back to school. To accomplish that I need to decide what I really want to do with the rest of my life. That's really the hard part.

3. Get a place of my own. I'm way to old to be living in my parents basement. Especially since I'm not going to school. (Maybe accomplishing number 2 will postpone this one but I can deal with that.)

Really I think that's it. 3 hopefully fairly easy goals to accomplish. Number 1 will have more steps but I'm not thinking about them now. One step at a time.

Happy New Year! I wish everyone the best of luck with their new years resolutions and a safe and happy 2009!

Slacker

So I've been a terrible blogger lately. It' more that I haven't had anything much to talk about and the couple of things I've wanted to say never seemed to shape up well enough for me to publish them. But yesterday me and Lisa went down to Salt Lake to see the Body Worlds exhibit. It was great! We took the train down and totally enjoyed the whole cosmopolitan aspect of taking the train and walking and such. So body worlds was awesome! If you want more info click here.

After the exhibit me and Lisa went to a late lunch/old people dinner at our favorite Salt Lake restaurant Ztejas. It's so so yummy! Yeah that's really all I have to say for a much more clever and interesting recap (with pictures) of our day out check out Lisa's blog.

Boring Friday Night

So I'm sitting here in my basement watching my Bravo reality TV and thinking about how boring my life is. My highlight of this Friday night was making a lemon meringue pie. For those of you who don't know my grandma makes the worlds best lemon meringue pie and last year I had her teach me how to make it. I have done pretty well but I haven't been able to get the meringue as good as my grandmas until tonight! I FINALLY got the meringue right! I was so excited I took pictures! As you can see by the picture there on the left I got it all nice and pretty and brown!


I also got it super high and fluffy! As evidence by this picture. I also got it to make little peaks which is my favorite part of meringue. Which you will see in the third picture. Yes this is in fact how I've been spending my Friday night. Making pie, doing my laundry and watching TV. I'm so exciting I scare myself. And guess what tomorrow my big plan is to go shopping for a new sunglasses since my favorite old ones broke on Thursday. =(

Disgusting

This is so sad and scary it makes my stomach sick, people can be so ignorant and stupid.

Snow

I can't believe I woke up this morning to like 6 inches of snow on the ground. It's only the 2nd week of October! Craziness. I hope this doesn't mean that fall is over because fall is totally my favorite season.

On an unrelated note I read this totally sweet little article this morning. It brought a tear to my eye. I think all of you should check it out. =) Holocaust Love Story Have a fantastic snowy day!

BASH!!!

So yesterday I spent the day at the 14th Annual X96 Big Ass Show. This year was the first time they did the show some place other than the Utah State Fair Park (*Correction-it was moved last year due to weather) and honestly I was a little apprehensive I thought it wouldn't be as good out at USANA Amphitheater but I was wrong. It was totally just as good if not better. I definitely felt better after I didn't feel disgusting and dirty, I don't think I was as tired either. The sound was way better than it was out at the fair park. The bands were awesome and my ears are still ringing so all in all I would say it was a very good day.

The bands were all pretty good. Mindless Self Indulgence (who I had never really heard of before) were great they put on a way fun show. 10 Years were good lots of energy and fun. Trapt was awesome, the lead singer is totally hot so of course that helps. =) Hawthorne Heights were great too. Lots of energy and got the crowd exciting. We were down right next to the pit for them and it was crazy. I think a girl even got her teeth knocked out. I've never really understood how slamming into each other makes a concert a great time but some people seem to love it. So to each their own.

I'm such a geek

OH MY GOSH!!! I love the Office!!! Just watched the season premier and WOW! So great! Jim and Pam and hilariousness!!! That is all I'm just totally excited.

I love Matt Damon.

This says what I've been thinking in such a lovely concise way. Go Matt Damon!!!

Marcus!!!

So I just got back from watching Marcus (the 2nd place finisher in last comic standing). He was filming a DVD special in Ogden tonight and me and Stephanie (a girl I work with) decided to go and it was AWESOME!!! Marcus is so hilarious and he had wolf from American Gladiators hosting it was amazing! Can you tell I'm excited? Being as I keep using exclamation points! I also got a picture with the hotness that is Marcus AND the bad ass-ness that is Wolf! (They aren't on my camera or they would be posted with this, I'll put them up as soon as I get them.) If you haven't seen anything Marcus has done you should totally check him out he's great. And be sure and buy his DVD that comes out in October and listen for my laughing at inappropriate places. =) Here's Marcus's website in case your interested. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=83890531

Oh and I totally had a "Geek-gasm" because I ran into most of the geek show podcast crew!!! Shannon is the man! He totally did an impression which is great his impressions are the best. And I have to say Jeff Vice is totally hotter in person than I expected. I totally have a crush on most of the geek show podcast guys. So go check out the website cause it's great. http://www.thegeekshowpodcast.com/ Sorry that this whole blog is kinda pimping other peoples stuff but my life's boring so deal with it. =)

Newest Obsession

So I've decided that I become easily obsessed with things because I'm totally obsessed with the show Dexter lately. I rented the first couple discs of the first season and I was hooked. So I went out and bought the seasons that are out and have been watching them almost nonstop. It's not something I think everyone would enjoy seeing as it's a show about a serial killer. But he's the coolest serial killer ever! I'm not even half way through season 2 but I am already stoked for the new season that starts at the end of the month!

I don't think I have anything else to say really. Life has been pretty boring in my neck of the woods. I did go out with a couple girls from work on Saturday it was great fun! It's a little sad cause it was kind of a going away party for one of my very favorite coworkers. She's moving on Thursday and that makes me sad. We talk all day via email and it sometimes really helps the day go by quicker. But she gets email on her phone so it may continue once she moves but certainly not to the extent that we do it now.

TV Time

So I started watching this season of Project Runway partially because of the fact that there was a guy from Utah on it. The other part was I knew I would end up watching all the episodes anyway some Sunday when Bravo did a marathon right before the season finale. So anyway I totally was routing for the Utah guy cause A) he's from Utah and well it's always good to see people from my neck of the woods winning reality shows, B) he's totally cute, gay but still cute, C) he's from Utah but is all covered n tattoos and stuff which is totally fun, and finally D) I like the first couple of designs I saw from him.

However the more I listened to him talk the less I liked him. He came across as a whiny pompous asshole. He seemed to think he was better than everyone else. Mostly he just bugged me I don't know that there is much of a basis for my feeling but it's how I felt. So last week he was in the bottom for this horrendous feathery concoction. So he made a choice this week to try and do something different which he did it didn't look like him it looked terrible, unprofessional and poorly made. Needless to say he got kicked off this week. Which made me kind of happy. I realize that no one probably cares about this I just wanted to say that I was Project Runway this week made me happy.

Wow that was a boring blog post. I'm sorry maybe I should add some pictures to show you what his designs look like. Okay I'm being lazy and just gonna post a link to his gallery.

And just for fun I'll put a link to one of my favorite designers. My only problem with this guy is he talks in the 3rd person which is SO annoying. My other favorite designer's photos won't load so you don't get to see her stuff.

Another New Addition!

Hey everyone I added a music player to my blog so if you want a peek inside my CD collection give it a listen. Fair warning that some of these songs aren't let's say work appropriate. =) But it is a pretty good look at my favorites. So listen and enjoy!!!

Music is for sharing

I spent some time driving this weekend and this CD happened to be in my CD player and this song hit me in a strange heavy way so I thought I would share this song from one of my all time favorite bands. This is dedicated to two men who have no idea how much they mean to me.

Never There - Strata

I am on the brink of losing everything
Hanging on the edge of every word she says
And you were never there
You were never there

She stabs deep into me
Am I too blind to see what this has done to me
She stabs deep into me
Am I too numb to feel this anymore

You were the one who could save me
You were the one who abandoned me

I am patiently waiting here to see
Which of us survives
When all of this collides with reality

She stabs deep into me
Am I too blind to see what this has done to me
She stabs deep into me
Am I too numb to feel this anymore

You were never there.
