No Joke.

Tonight my little brother (he’s 11) and I decided to watch a movie together. After some debating and trying to find a movie to both of our liking (passing on favorite’s like Pokemon, Napoleon Dynamite, and Ghostbusters) we finally settled on The Wizard of Oz. First off, I find it pretty impressive that he still claims to loving it being an 11 year-old boy (he did play the Tin Man in his recent school production) and secondly, the following scenario really did happen:

I hand my brother the movie (our copy is the old school version on VHS) to put in the VCR.

He looks at it, then looks at me, and seriously asks what direction to put it in the VCR.

I look at him, believing he’s joking, but soon find out he’s not and is legitimately asking how to insert the VHS into the VCR.

Really?

VHS is like the U of U. Low quality and nobody likes them.

Another confession

(this isn't about the same subject matter as before) A lot of the time when I meet people I feel like I know them from somewhere. A good percentage of the time I realize the only way I know them is that they resemble one of the characters on the classic board game Guess Who? Does this happen to anyone else?!?!

Recent Obsession Flair-ups

You know how there are some things that you love so much and you experience these things a ton but then after awhile they just seem to fade out? But then some time passes and you almost rediscover these things with new eyes and obsess over them again almost worse than the first time? This has recently happened to me with a few things. They include: Elton John Tater Tots Seinfeld Showering Grape Juice Thats it. PS: (Did you know?!) Thanks to Dare-bear-stare for helping me learn that my own Denver International Airport is the largest airport in the U.S. at 53 square miles! Props to Denver yet again!

Take Home Chef Wannabe

So once upon a time my friend Jeff and I made up our own little tradition. We called it "Friday Picture" and each Friday we would walk around campus and take a picture with the most awkward/awesome/unique looking individual we could find. It was something I looked forward to every week, and we would constantly surprise ourselves with the kind of people we'd see walking around BYU. A lot of weridos there. One day we decided to meander through the library to see if there was anyone extra special for our Friday Picture. Boyyy, did we find that special person! World, meet Take Home Chef Lookalike. I saw him and I couldn't believe the similarities. The striking features. The blond, pointy hair. We even found some silverware to make the photo more true to life. ( The real Curtis Stone ) Try to tell me they don't look alike. Just try. I think the best part of the story is that Jeff's girlfriend at the time (now wife) had dated Take Home Chef-a-like. And we di...
