25 Random Things
January 31, 2009
I got tagged (twice) on Facebook to do this 25 Random Things thing. Here goes.
- Last night I dreamed that I could fly, and that I was fighting evil in Hyrule.
- I think my wife is the best cook in the world.
- I was a heavy user of hair gel back in the days when I had hair (more particularly, though, my elementary school years).
- I have loved having my sister so close these past 5 months.
- Homer Simpson is my favorite fictional character of all-time.
- I’m having a hard time coming up with things to write, and I’m only on #6… :-o
- Digg is my home page.
- Sonic Drive-In was a staple for me through high school. Their slushes were my life force.
- I am a loyal friend.
- I watch British soaps.
- I have been taunted all my life by the fact that I have a big head.
- I used to hate Spencer before we became friends.
- I’m tremendously grateful for the life that I have.
- Kidd Kraddick is the bomb.
- I think I’m cool because I have a MacBook Pro.
- We have a Blockbuster movie pass, with which I (kind of) cheat the system.
- I am frightened of the entire concept of death.
- We love our DVR.
- I’m proud of my wife for reading Harry Potter.

just my luck… part 2
January 29, 2009
I am a really lucky person. Really, I promise. Probably the luckiest person in the whole wide world. After waking up and seeing that my tonsils didn’t look a whole lot better, I decided that enough was enough and I should just go to the doctor. The doctor’s first words after looking at my mouth (without a light or magnifying glass) was, “That’s disgusting!” (Ok maybe he didn’t use those exact words, but he might as well have said that.) The lab tests confirmed my suspicion that I have strep throat (fortunately I’m not contagious anymore). So I went home with a bottle of penicillin (so it doesn’t come back) and a warm fuzzy feeling inside for being right about my self-diagnosis (now if I could only just write my own prescriptions, I would be set).
As if this wasn’t enough excitement for one day, after picking Luis up from school, we got hit by another car (neither of us were hurt). Yay. There is enough of a dent in the back of our car that it is likely going to be very inconvenient and time consuming for us to go get the car fixed, but not enough of a dent for us to be able to just buy a new car. Boo. I love my life.
normal

I know that a lot of people think members of the LDS church are really weird. When I think about some of the principles that we believe in, I can see how we are misunderstood. However when I watch this show:
or this show:
or even this documentary:
I can’t help but think how incredibly normal we actually are.

Since I started feeling a little better today (i.e. I could walk across the room without feeling like I was going to faint from overexertion), I decided that I should venture out into the world of the living. I didn’t want to do too much too soon so I figured that I should miss classes again (which was good considering the fact that I was awake all night and asleep all morning) and just go to work (so that my coworkers wouldn’t have to scramble to cover my shifts again). Unfortunately, I didn’t think about the fact that one of the classes I would be missing is a class taught by the full-time reference librarians (these happen to be the faculty members who work at the reference desk with me). So I casually walked up to the desk to take my post and tried to avoid eye contact as much as possible (I was hoping that they wouldn’t realize that I had missed class… which had only ended 10 minutes before I got to the desk). My plan was going just fine until one of the librarians asked the other librarian if he could keep a few copies of the worksheet from class so that he could give them to the 3 students who were absent. At this point I figured that I might as well come clean and so I swiveled my chair around so that I was facing them and confessed to having missed class. They both gave me a weird look. I just shrugged, told them I was sick, and forced out a cough hoping they would believe me.

I think this is the lowest our DVR has been since we got the dang thing. Usually we’re scrambling to see what we can watch or delete so that it doesn’t explode. On average we were anywhere from 70-90%.
But since we’ve been sicky the last couple days, we’ve had the chance to watch a lot of stuff (not to mention deleting all 8 episodes of Pushing Daisies we had on our DVR — we resolved to watch them when they came out on DVD).
And we are finally caught up on The Office, for the first time ALL SEASON.

I don’t know what is worse, being sick or waking up thinking that you can’t call in sick because you had a dream that your entire class was coming to your house for a social and you thought it was really going to happen.
