Caveman duties

Today I've been thinking about what it would have been like living in caveman times.  I don't know the official time period name, so caveman times is what I will be using.  You know what I mean.

I've been specifically thinking about what it would have been like to figure out what things are good to eat and what things are not as good to eat.  As I was eating my banana this morning, I was basking in the glory of whomever decided to somehow open up a banana and eat it.  And then share it with all his/her caveman friends.

I'd like to think I would have been the cavewoman who sacrificed her undeveloped palate to eat various things and give them the go-ahead.  

Bark-not good.
Bananas-delicious
Rocks-too hard
Leaves/grass-not very good, but depends on the type
Deer-(yes, lets shoot this giant animal with an arrow and hope it doesn't attack)-love them burgers
Pineapple-(seriously, who thought of breaking one of those prickly guys open?)-fantastic
Ants-not worth the hassle

(confession: i think i actually have eaten everything on the above list, so opinions are tried and true)

But seriously, do you think someone had that job?  I'd do it.

In other news, anyone want to find me a job come June?  Thanks.

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.

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...
