Geez, I sucky at posting



Hello
Just gonna list off stuff that's happened or thought of in the last week
-Remodeling update- we got our new kitchen flooring put in thanks to my brother and his wife, tomorrow we are supposed to get our new cabinets FINALLY, they've been sitting somewhere for a while now haha.
-Tomorrow also, -giddy schoolgirl squeal- New Monty Are I album! My review coming next time
-Congrats to the Orem Owlz, they won the Pioneer League Championship over the weekend. It's their 3rd title in the last 5 seasons which is how long I've worked for them.
-I've jumped on the Dexter bandwagon, I'm watching the whole first season while it's on demand, I'm halfway through it and I got about a week to finish it up before it's taken off. Episodes are on sale right now on iTunes, which is so tempting cause I could catch up with the rest on my iPod. . . .
-Last week I saw two movies, My Sister's Keeper and The Informant
MSK- Of course it's very sad and had a lot more to offer than I thought which is good
Informant- I was expecting the funny, and unfortunately didn't get it
-I continued my work on the J-Ray "Terrable" album, still aiming for a November completion date
-Mmmmmmm Jimmie Johns, so glad to have you closer to my home
-Ohh yeah, I weighed in today and lost 1.5 pounds in the last 2 weeks which was unexpected but awesome

Peace Out everyone
I'll try harder to post

Ummm Kanye?!

Here's my two cents on what happened at the VMAs on MTV last night when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech.

1. Taylor Swift was the clear underdog in my opinion for the Best Female Video category which she did win. She was clearly surprised that she had won and it was becoming another fantastic VMA winning moment until Mr. West had to screw it up. Beyonce did an awesome thing later by giving her Video of the Year award winning time to Taylor so she can actually give her speech cause she knows how amazing it is to be young and win one of those awards. If there's not a lot of hope for most things in America right now, there's hope that people, even the rich and powerful, can do great things and be good examples for us all.

2. Kanye West just had to pull of the most annoying things to do on a music award show, interrupting the show during an acceptance speech which has happened two other notable times in the last 11 years. Most know that Kanye is an extremely sore loser at these things but to do this for an award he's not even close to being eligible for astounds me. His whole interruption was to just make a point that Beyonce should have won the Female Vid category. I thought it was just a tiny joke at first making fun of himself in a way. Now as much as I praise Beyonce for what she did, I don't think her video was all that great. It's black and white and she's dancing in an empty room with a dancer on either side of her as far as I know. My question is, Who let him on stage??? seriously. He wasn't about to perform, he's wasn't a nominee for any awards in the show's beginning, WTF? I'm glad he got kicked out of the show and didn't win any big awards anyway. I'm not satisfied with his half assed apology on Jay Leno's show tonight (which I didn't watch, I just saw the clip of it online minutes ago). Oiy get help man

umm I dunno


What's been up?

-more ceiling scraping after moving a bunch of stuff around, I will finish scraping tomorrow morning
-new fridge delivered that will have to just sit and be ignored for a while
- worked the last two nights, tonight was pretty busy and crazy with lines for most of my shift (in which I came to work an hour and a 1/2 late cause of school), a couple new ice cream containers that were still frozen solid, hats (that the ice cream goes into) running out, co-workers bored enough to shout "HEY!" over and over which was annoying cause I couldn't even hear some of my customers along with the noise of the Owlz beating the crap out of the Ogden Raptors.
- school
- Food from Rumbi and Taco Bell
- Listening to new The Used album a couple more times, my Coheed and Cambria Essentials Vol. 2 mix CD, and MSTRKRFT's Fist of God album which came out earlier this year
- My weigh in results (which I mentioned last time) is that I lost 6 Pounds in the last 2 weeks which I'm very excited and proud about

Weekend's almost here!! yay
no stuff is due tomorrow at school
no work until Saturday
Thursdays are like my Fridays

That is all

Yesh!!

Before getting to a recap of stuff (sorry it's been while) I'd like to note that I kinda pulled a Homer

homer- achieving something without really trying (from a Simpsons episode obviously)

I took an online multiple choice quiz for one of my classes which only had 5 questions and without any rigorous study or anything I got a 4/5. I will however try to really understand the material in the future, but I'm still relieved that I didn't bomb the thing. so school's still going well at the moment

Anyway
Remodeling progress- I have been doing a lot ceiling scraping at my (parent's) house in the last few days that gives it a totally new look. Some people would refer to what we had as having a "popcorn ceiling". I also pulled out some carpet and the wonderful things underneath it yesterday. It will still be another week or so before any major improvements can be done is what I'm guessing.

Pet Peeve- I hate fast food drive thrus that have stupid little sidewalks to the right side of where your car goes. I was at Carl's Jr. a couple days ago and as I was leaving with my window rolled down I could hear my car going SCRRREECH over some god fosaken sidewalk mostly because there was a car in front of me that had a big or long enough order that they need to move out of the way so people like me can get their smaller and less expensive order. So to avoid hitting the person in front of me and trying to get the hell out I hit the stupid patch of cement. I can also remember a similar thing happening at a Weinerschnitzel a couple years ago. I hate that drive thrus have to be such damn traps. Just one of many ways that they "Fuck you at the Drive Thru"

I was stoked that BYU beat #3 Oklahoma this past Saturday. Yayyy! hopefully they do well this season even though I don't go there.

Weight Update- I haven't done my weigh in due to the holiday but I got on an old bathroom scale this morning and I hope it's not lying to me cause if it's not I may have lost 7-10 pounds in the last 2 weeks, which hasn't happened since March 2008. That will brighten up my days a little more.

Work- Today and tomorrow are the last two regular season home games for the Orem Owlz and by the looks of things they have a playoff game on Saturday so at least I have those days guaranteed to be working.

I'll end on that note
Later

Welcome to September- New Music Month


Like the title says, 3 of the most long awaited (at least I've been waiting) albums come out this month. The first came out yesterday and it is the latest album by Orem, Utah's own The Used who in a matter of a couple years have gone from a band I barely noticed to one of my favorite bands to listen to. I listened to their latest titled Artwork and I give it an A- which is a VERY good score for a first listen cause I'm usually pretty mean on first listens. Coming up later is the new releases by Monty Are I and Paramore. On a side note all 3 bands will appear on my 50 Favorite Albums of the 2000s list that has been a work in progress for a year now and all three have really high spots on the list with past albums.
Anyway on the remodeling side of things we finally got a dumpster yesterday for all the garbage that had previously been living on the front lawn. Hopefully there will plenty more changes in the next few days in our kitchen. Besides all this i've just been working and doing school stuff this week so far.
Get back to ya later blog readers
