Blast You Snow!



Let's see what has gone down in the last week
- 24 came back on TV, very nice very good, even though the filler plot lines are kinda dumb and the logic button is still switched to off. Still good to see that Jack is back and will never die. Speaking of TV characters never dying, I am starting to really dislike Heroes which used to be my 2nd favorite drama, I don't know why I'm still watching it but hopefully it ends before getting too bad.
-UPDATE- I found an organization to do my 20 hours of required volunteer service (for a class). I will be working for The American Cancer Society, the training begins this week
-Thanks to Hulu, I'm getting into the show Reaper, it was recommended by the good folks on geekshowpodcast.com
-My diet plan is still working by the looks of things yay
- Saw 2012, it's OK (not good or bad)

So as you can see, not a very eventful week

-Well the most significant event of the past week was ending my friendship with my ex-girlfriend who shall be nameless for the purposes of this blog. It's a long story that could be summed with she screwed up bad last summer and then decided to try to make peace with my girlfriend Anna who doesn't want anything to do with her and she thought that ending our friendship will make me happy and will prevent a fight with Anna. Well honestly I was sad to say goodbye but I was never the type to chase her around and what she did to piss off Anna is a big enough offense that I shoudn't really deal with her ever again. So good riddance, I had some fun and everything but she was nothing but trouble at the same time.

Holy Cow, 12 days since a post now that's ridiculous



- School started up again, after two weeks of classes I can say that I think this semester will go pretty smoothly cause I've been doing this for years. For those wondering, I have Gender Roles, Life Span Development, Positive Psychology, and an Intro to Social Work class. My one big worry for the first two weeks of this semester is trying to find a human service agency to do some volunteer work for. This is such an obstacle to me cause it's like trying to find a job and with that situation I go for the easiest application process as possible. I've contacted one place in Provo but haven't heard back at all. So if I hear nothing by Tuesday I guess I'll have to actually go outside to find something or maybe even have to -sigh- call somebody which I don't really like doing.
- Became a fan of The Cinema Snob who reviews some new movies and the really terrible old movies that are infamous for being VERY BAD film making wise. He's now a featured reviewer on thatguywiththeglasses.com which I love to go to every week.
-Rented a couple movies this week. District 9 which I thought was very cool and The Hurt Locker which is gonna be nominated for several awards in the next few months. I loved the movie even though some of it felt unnecessary. I'm excited for its success. To answer the question if you're wondering, No I haven't seen Avatar yet.
-This week marked the One Year Anniversary of going out with my girlfriend Annalaura. I never doubted for a minute that we would make it this far. I'm excited to be with her and for the many good times to come. Being with her today made me realize just how lucky I am to be with someone so patient, understanding, and most of all so loving. 
- Been walking quite a lot recently and it feels great. As long as the dumb snow doesn't come back with a vengence I will continue to go out walking. It's a good accompaniment to my recent eating habits/rules which I'd be lying if I said that I didn't break from time to time. The readings from my scale at home look nice but I still want to go the scale I trust.
-Excited 24 is back on TV! Speaking of TV I am so thankful that The Cleveland Show is around, I love him and the show for daring to be really crude and random sometimes but still hilarious.
-I have a sort of piggy bank and it makes me so tempted to use the money to buy DVDS of the show Dexter instead of a external hard drive.

Thank ya for reading
peace out and hopefully there won't be so much time between posts

The New Year and The Last Day of Winter Break

Hey everybody


I celebrated the new year in my fashion once again which is pots and pans banging, making noise in the street, Martinelli's, awesome music to groove and dance to, lights shining, and other silly traditions.

I recently saw the movie Sherlock Holmes and enjoyed like I thought I would. I admire Guy Ritchie the director and several of the lead actors in the movie and they didn't disappoint at all.


Today for my last day of winter break (before returning to school for one last semester) I finally went and saw Up In The Air and I really enjoyed the movie. To continue the Clooney, I watched Michael Clayton which I bought recently for a "previously enjoyed" price. Then I drove kinda far to a Walkers to get a drink and a treat which is totally forbidden to my current eating habits (which has helped me lose several pounds so far) but it was a special day. The drive was worth it, I won a free drink for later. From there just did average 2010 stuff like watching PTI on ESPN, played Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook, went for a walk, watched a bowl game, and ate frozen, leftover, or slightly old food (our way of saving money).

I'm kinda both excited and nervous for the Spring 2010 semester
shouldn't be too bad
