O. Henry

I can't believe how warm it is outside... especially when that is contrasted with how cold it is in my room.  I kind of feel like I've rented The Furnished Room from that short story by O. Henry... which I once used as wrote a a short film.  I imagine that room was very cold.

Goals
1. Stay out of my cold, cold room.
2. TBA
3. Pass that last class and graduate... finally. I am late... but I finished?
      a. me finishing my degree in film was an exercise in doing something I really believe is worthless but that I am finishing for the sake of finishing.  I guess that's a good reason to finish any cause... well any cause that you don't suddenly realize should be abandoned.  There is an old Chinese proverb that says "No matter how far you have gone down the wrong path, turn back."

  

I listened to a lot of General Conference today.  Lots of it I was hearing for the second time.  It was kind of amazing.  It is always kind of funny how one can't help but feel that the there was some sort of personalized theme running through the whole conference and it's funny how an entirely different "one" can feel that same thing about a totally different and just as personalized theme.  So, on the count of three, let's all say what the theme was this time. 1... 2... 3!

Combination

I have two cupcakes from Cupcake Royale in my refrigerator.  One of them is going to be given To Katy P. if she wants it.  The other one will be eaten by me for dinner.

This is totally unrelated and credit fr it should be given to Emily Asplund.

Maybe it's more...

This is me and a friend. Dancing through the streets of Provo. The city in which I live. Tonight.

Two Lovers

I really like the film Two Lovers.  That is all.  I just watched it again and I quite like it and I want the world to know that.  Maybe I think it's kind of funny because it's a little autobiographical.  Whatever.

I live in Provo now, for the time being.  This should simplify some things.  I've been here for days but it feels like years.

Lesson #5

We, the richest nation in the world, have failed in our responsibility to our own poor and to the disadvantaged across the world to help them advance their welfare in the most fundamental terms of nutrition, literacy, health and employment.
-Robert Macnamara 2003

and on a lighter note




I think the rule used to be that you knew you had "made it" when you had your own action figure.  I think that having a cheeto portrait has to be at least as good, probably better.

Has anybody seen the life size candy statue of the owner of Osaka in their foyer?  I like eating there.

Old bottles

I can't think of a part in the Old Testament, or even the scriptures which I love more; which is more tender.

  "...Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:  Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me."

     Some of Christ's feelings in the New Testament are, obviously, very tender and moving (I'm thinking of his reaction to the death of Lazarus and his friends pain at that death) but for some reason the above passage is particularly striking to me specifically it isn't coming from the Savior.  It's coming from just a normal human being who had figured out what it means to love.  I think she had that higher law stuff down a few centuries early.

happy pi day

Today is Pi day. 3.14

Good news and Bad news

The good news is that my iPod shuffle is very clean.  The bad news is that is because it got washed, which means it no longer works... ah, but it's clean.
