Fantastic Mr Fox

That is what I am watching right now.

I had my bunion surgery almost two weeks ago. That means two weeks of using crutches. I'm starting to think that this inability to walk is affecting other parts of my life.

Much like Colin Firth, I have randomly started stuttering in my speech. Only difference between me and him is that I won't win an Oscar.

I also have lost any balance I have ever had. I don't know if the weight of my boot is creating an imbalance or if I'm just unsteady but I almost fall over probably 30 times a day. It's awesome. Except when I accidentally fall and have to use my broken foot to steady myself and then become paranoid that I knock the SIX SCREWS the doctor put in my foot out of place.

Seriously. I don't know how its possible that there are now six screws in my foot...actually, they are only in my big toe...is that normal? Was my toe that messed up? Its embarrassing. Everyone else only has one or two screws.


I've been wondering if anyone knows whether or not I could start getting Senior Citizen discounts? Twitter has been suggesting that I follow AARP lately.

Dude, of course you could/will win an Oscar. There are so many bright things in your future, it's not even funny. Get someone to make this blog into a movie, starring you. Bam. Oscar. You are welcome.

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...
