It’s been a wierd weekend halfway between boring and crazy hot. (Heather I said that just for you). Yesterday a bunch of us rented a study room in the library and we watched Lost in Translation in it. Apparently the cops have started braking up the people watching movies outside the stake center. The library worked very nicely and I highly recommend it to people searching for a coed place to watch a movie. After we watched Lost in Translation (which I did not like) we watched two episodes of Bobby’s World (which is awesome). I used to watch that show every day.
Today I slept in and did some homework. Then a bunch of us went to the Brand X Comedy Show. It was lame. Some parts were funny, but it was obnoxiously Utah. For example, the first act called up 6 volunteers pared off into partnerships. 3 of them played Simon says. Everytime one of them messed up, his/her partner had to drink a glass of . . . water. It was lame. Now I don’t like drinking alcohol at all. I never have nor will drink it and I don’t like watching other people drink, but replacing alcohol with water in a drinking game does not make it funny! It makes it lame. I mean come on. At least make it milk or something.
Then we hung out in the Cougar Cove, and it was fun talking and all but we didn’t have anything to do cause we didn’t have cars and it was raining. Oh well. We did, however, discover something really cool about the lights in the Morris Center lobby. If you stand in the middle of them and talk, it echos like you are talking in a fan. Amy discovered this, and I didn’t believe her until I tried it. It works! No really. Try it yourself. You should have seen us all moving around, “here, put your head here.”
Now the guys are playing poker and I am not because I do not know how. Instead I am writing my talk for tomorrow. I think this is the 4th talk I’ve given in Sacrament Meeting this year (not normal), not to mention I taught Sunday School last week, and will do so again next week (I alternate with another teacher). I feel sorry for my ward- they are going to be so sick of hearing from me.

how did the library allow you to watch “lost in translation”?
um . . . the library doesn’t know.
lol-bummer you didn’t like it! and bummer about meeting the wrong ‘me’, lol. I think i saw you today in the morris center, but it was just a passing glance and I didn’t think about it until I had already passed. Well, if you ever see ‘me’ again, you should come up and ask-you’ve at least narrowed it down by one! Cheers!
Ok, not that I’m advocating the consumption of alcohol, but if you’re going to play a drinking game…it’s got to have alcohol…no water, no milk, alcohol because that is what makes people more and more clumsy and just makes them mess up more. They should have omitted that game entirely since it doesn’t sound like it was funny at all. What do you expect for Utah though? Sorry you didn’t like Lost In Translation, I would recommend The Butterfly Effect, but it’s rated ‘R’ and I know you don’t watch ‘R’ rated movies…I’ll get back to you on something worth watching.
