Tales of Wit and Charm…

the beastie boys. 1993. they completed me.

when i saw them at their movie premiere i was shocked. i guess i figured since i haven’t aged a day they wouldn’t have either. sadly, they have.

but, they still got it!!

in the immortal words of karen carpenter. sundance, we have only just begun. our love affair has long withstood the test of time. i have sat through many horrible films. crying out at the end, i want those 2 hours of my life back! but alas, i still love you. you my dear festival are the only reason for a utah winter. so i shall don my geek glasses and puffy coat and travel up the mountain. the long affair shall continue. after all, i love my kinky boots. RED!!

truth be told i am not an html princess, obviously. case and point, my sidebar. any advice on how to make the blue go away? far, far away. out goes my obsession with blue pens. suddenly blue writing is just not so appealing. help me, pretty please in pink sparkles? i would offer blue for the gents, but i am bitter.

ben’s friend kevin was here visiting last week. being from oakland, visiting slc for the first time was a bit of a culture shock for the lad.

for entertainment purposes i thought i would share some or his trip highlights, at least in my opinion.

going to the LDS institute on the U of U campus and stumbling upon an ATM machine. it makes sense…. i guess, easy access to your funds so you can give 10% away to the church.

he also made a trip to temple square, alone i might add, where he decided our jesus is bigger than his jesus!

when he went for a walk alone i immediately assumed he was a secret smoker, not that there is anything wrong with that! apparently it was really to see the olympic “art” at the u of “you” stadium, where he was accosted by a very proud utahan. she proceeded to tell kevin her feelings concerning the 2002 winter olympics’. she was absolutely horrified that there will be future winter games held in cities around the globe. she had hoped that the games would end here in slc. after all, it’s a really great state. i only hope he explained to her they are held every four years despite the fact some nutty locals want to keep them in utah forever. duh.

“too old and frail to be put to death”, am i the only one that screamed WHAT, at the radio upon hearing this? i ask you, how is someone too old to be put to death?

hopefully by now everyone knows all about clarence allen’s plea for clemency. just in case you have all been too busy working off those holiday pounds, read here.

allen’s attorneys stated, “executing him would amount to cruel and unusual punishment.” while i am not an expert on executions (and hope never to be) i do think that any execution is cruel and unusual punishment.

so, i don’t know about allen being too old and frail, but i do know he just looks plain mean!

*disclaimer-i do not believe in the death penalty. i only believe in making fun of everything. for those i offend by making light of this subject, i apologize. sorta.

at my house a snow-day turns quickly into a football sunday. i hate being cold. HATE IT! so i opted to stay home with the heat on at a warm 85. living alone does have it’s advantages.

however, i did venture out. across the hallway to ben’s apartment. where we watched a bit of today’s games. my favorite parts just happen to annoy him. imagine that. they include but are not limited to the following:

1. hurt players riding away in the cart of death.
2. benched players riding a stationary bike on the sidelines.
3. players attempting to spin the football.
4. steve smith humping the end post.

immediately upon naming the above reasons to watch football, i was asked to go home. afterwards, i was begged to go bowling. because, ben is craving it?? whatever, i am not the weird one in the family. at least for the time being.
