Sick this morning. There is no end to the dripping. SAAAAAAAAAAAAD

I <3 microsoft.

So. You know when you buy a new computer? Yeah, me too. Well, I just did, and it made me remember one of my microsoft pet peeves. You know how they always put random stuff in your "my pictures" and "my music," etc? Like they put pictures and music there to demonstrate because you couldn't figure out what could possibly belong in a folder called "my music." So they assume that I actually know or care who in the world Marc Seales or The Posies are. Give me a break. I have this picture in my mind of some soft-jazz obsessed programmer up in Seattle loading new versions of windows with crap music to spread his mediocrity to the masses. Of course his supervisors would go through and cull the excess files, but some would inevitably slip through and end up polluting my ear drums and those of millions of others. Do you think that starving kids in China want to listen to "OAM's Blues" by Aaron Goldberg? That won't fill their bellies. Just quit trying to a difference because IT'S NOT WORKING.

So last night I was trying to talk to my mom on the phone right before I went to bed, and I went outside to sit on the front steps because it was quieter outside. It was great until everyone in the apartment right across from ours came spilling out carrying marshmallow blow guns. Ok great whatever. It got noisy so I walked out to the street and sat on the grass in front of our complex to continue my conversation. About 5 minutes later, I feel something hit me in the back of the head. I turn around and there are two guys standing maybe 10 feet behind me giggling like schoolgirls over their blowguns.

Ok, maybe if I hadn't been distracted and busy doing something else, I would have been amused. I ALSO might have been amused if I was about 15 yeas younger than I am. But I wasn't and I'm not.
So I turned around and peevishly asked them to stop. I did say please. Then they just looked sheepish and left. And I finished my conversation in peace.

Sometimes I have the great privilege of walking to class in the morning with my roomates. This is always really exciting because it always goes exactly the same way. I have my ipod in the ear opposite them and I sing snatches of songs at them as we walk and talk our way to campus. This is inevitably hysterical because they always end up singing along. For example, this morning the walk ended with Cristina singing "cry me a river" at me about half a phrase ahead of the actual song. Completely enjoyable.

This morning I also missed out on the awesome lab-wide pizza party (and by lab-wide, I mean that maybe there were like 3 more people there than usual. There aren't a lot of us).

So I'm pretty sure I have like a hundred blogs floating around on the internet, only two of which I actually update, and that only recently. Hopefully those small snippets of my awkwardness will aid some wayward soul to find their way in this crazy mixed up world of ours.

So Craig is officially back. things have been good so far, and he'll be out here in a couple of weeks. Problem though-- the management company that he had his contract with in chatsworth oficially lost all record of him and never realized that there wasn't a person attached to that $600 they received SIX WEEKS AGO. So he's not going to be living in my ward anymore which is depressing, but he will be living next door which is ok.

Wednesday night we something not that exciting. Well, actually it ended up being really exciting but not for the reasons we thought it would be. We decided that (or i guess mostly just I decided) that we should go dancing in SLC, a friend's band was performing *and* it was supposed to be "hip-hop night" at this club. Guess what it wasn't. And also...it was 80's night. So we got all gussied up to drive up to salt lake, dance to 80's music for 20 minutes, and come home. It was pretty sad because nothing happened that was supposed to, but we ended up having quite a lot of fun anyways.

So apparently the first Friday of every month, downtown Provo opens its doors for a kind of gallery stroll thing. Totally going tonight!

amazing!
