Yes, there is such a thing. Quick rant… I guess I write this because I just got an e-mail forward of a couple kids dressed as Napoleon and Pedro for the umpteenth time (each time from someone in the office). I’m lamenting the way a great movie has become too popular. Napoleon Dynamite is a…

I seriously must be having LOST withdrawals or something. I had another strange dream last night. Again Lost-esque, I was this time in a more tropical climate and there was a hatch underground that I and a few others were in (I remember Jeff being there, and Locke even showed up for a moment in…

Shawn and I hatching our next dark plan Now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb. Yeah, Shawn and I donned Jedi garb for Halloween this year– it was excellent. People at Shawn’s work thought he was wearing stilts with his costume… I guess that big flowing cloak made him look…

Last night I had a sort of Lost-esque dream. But instead of being on a tropical island, I was stranded with a group of people in the middle of the desert. We were getting along just fine on some sort of inhabitation— it was like a train car (not the old kind but one that…

I read this article yesterday on scary foods. I like food, and I like scary stuff, so a story about scary food intrigued me. What are these scary foods? The article mentions 7 different specific scary foods. I was quite surprised to find I had eaten one of them while in Korea– number 6, sea…

Here’s the pumpkins we carved Friday. I thought Mar and Jesse’s rendition of King of Town worked out great– we used the stencils from homestarrunner.com. The stencil for Trogdor was troublesome, you can see his arm is quite beefy and there’s not mouth/teeth, and his feet are messed up. Maybe I just didn’t have fine…

In the order seen on the hike: Though “Devil’s Garden” is a very cool name, I wouldn’t give the devil credit for anything as amazing as the scenery in this park. With all the rocks and arches to look at, I found myself interested in dead trees. Interesting, no? I only wish I’d framed this…

I paused yesterday to consider the Holidays. You know, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years— the season as a whole. It hit me that this season would be starting in about a week and a half. I realized that for some reason I just don’t feel mentally prepared for the Holidays, heh. It’s not even a time…

Josh brought up an interesting point in my last post with regards to music (it actually touches on something I considered while writing my recent iPod rant– the iTunes music store). I began to respond in the comments section, but figured this was interesting enough to merit it’s own post. So the issue is listening…

Do you ever listen to a single song on repeat over and over?

The geek in me somehow managed to refrain from posting when the iPod Nano was released a number of weeks ago. Today I must break down and write about iPods. iPods have become an icon, a status symbol– it fascinates me that this fairly techy toy is now a common household name. It literally is…

All the siblings got together to go up Provo canyon to “Haunted Train Ride” on Friday night for fun. Of course, what happens when we all get together? Oh yeah, we (at least some of us) turn into clowns. Figuratively speaking, of course. I’m sure we were pretty annoying to some of the other passengers…

Weisswurst and some potato pancake thingeys. I guess it’s becoming a tradition to hit Oktoberfest each year in October. It’s just fun to go up to the canyon in the fall and experience a hint of German culture. Of course this wouldn’t be my blog if I didn’t post a picture of the food I…

Cosmo bugs Dwane while Dwane tries to make a phone call Went with Dwane, Kathy, and Lori at lunch to visit Dwane and Ann’s horse, though this is Cosmo, who is not one of their horses. Cosmo was just super friendly. This was the first time I’d ever actually been close to a horse. Powerful…
