I also went to Paris

After the parentals and Erik left England, my brother Aaron and I hopped on a 9 hour bus ride to the one and only Paris.

I love Paris.

The bus ride wasn't really as bad as it sounds. Since it was an overnight ride, I slept surprisingly well. We had to get up and go out on the ferry when we crossed the English Channel, but that wasn't much of a problem.

And then, Wednesday morning, we got off the bus and breathed the French air. Delicious.

I had heard the site airbnb.com was a good deal, so we used that to find a flat. It was actually really nice to hang out in an apartment (i'm used to hostels) and it was in a decent location so all in all, I feel great about that decision. And bonus! There was a fantastic little boulangerie down the street that provided us with all the pastries/baguettes/happiness we could as for, and for a great (cheap) price.

Our visit to the Eiffel Tower was planned pretty close to perfect. We got in line (which was ridiculously long) and spent our time up on top, hanging out, seeing the city. And then we went into a gift shop. And then when we got out, it was raining like crazy. Which just meant we had an excuse to buy some pretty legit blue Paris ponchos. Just lovely.

And then we ate a doner kebab. The end.

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...
