I'm back from my walk.
Today I met some great people and creatures.
Morgan the dog and a chocolate lab.
As I was walking through Liberty Park I saw lots of happy people enjoying the beautiful day. I saw a really cute couple that had little arm dogs. Not two nanoseconds after he placed one of the arm dogs on the ground to walk the arm dog laid down. I laughed and lifted up my headphones and said, "Nope. I don't walk anywhere. Are you kidding? I'm too used to be carried. I'm going to lay right here." The owner got a kick out of it.
I was walking down Linclon Street. Just passed 900 South I saw a very beautiful flower garden and a lady, not much older than myself, keeping it. I stoped and told her how beautiful her garden was. We chatted for a bit.
Good day for a walk.

Concerns a la Post 204
I have a few concerns for "someone" to resolve.
I am concerned about how cool this summer is going to be. I mean, on one hand, of course it's going to be freaking awesome. But on the other hand, where did everybody go? We're all going to be working full-time and not singing everyday. Our endorphin levels are going to need some serious help. Which is where paragliding and illegal drugs come into the picture. Surely there must be a better way.
Really. Who's going to spray-paint Marzipan? Or give Strong Sad a new belly button? Who will flat out reject me and others, just because they're in the On Point Gang?
Somebody give me some hope. For real. I'm leaving in the middle of the summer.
That's it. There's only one solution. We're all in this together. You're all been drafted into the Michelle's-Going-to-Have-the-Best-Friggin'-Summer-Ever militia. I will give you hats, if you wish, but you must provide your own power rifle(s).
Well, that's settled and I feel better. I think I need some Coldstone.
Three things...
1. I sang
2. I ate
3. I frisbee'd. And dang, it felt good.

Andrew Bird
I took Michelle's advice.
After listening to The Swimming Hour pretty much non-stop for two weeks. I decided to purchase The Mysterious Production of Eggs.
In my warped opinion of musical perfection I give it two thumbs way up.

Another car wreck
Two posts in five minutes? What is this?
Joining the hall of shame alongside such stupendously stupefying entries as Cutie.mp3 and the Average Homeboy rap, I give you: Daily Dancer.
It's SO BAD but you just CAN'T LOOK AWAY.
(ps - there is no nudity in the umbrella one. I checked the comments before watching it and noticed several people saying there wasn't.)

The Legend of the Ketchup Packet
Once upon a time, long long ago, Allison and I were eating at a Wendy's establishment. We kept passing this ketchup packet back and forth during the eating and during the playing of poker that happened afterwards, but I finally had it as I walked out the door of her apartment. So, I cunningly left it on the side-view mirror of her car - and thus began the ketchup packet feud.
We passed it back and forth several times, each time concealing it in a spot that would cause consternation and amusement in the passee once they found it. But one day we decided that the ring of ketchup packet passage must needs expand.
We expanded it to include Chris and Kimber, and now I'm expanding it to include all of you loyal blogpeople. So, if you find a mysteeeeerious ketchup packet somewhere in your belongings or on your person, shake your fist at whoever did it and then go stick it in somebody else's stuff. But be careful - if they catch you doing it, you can't attempt to give it to them again for 24 hours!
I hereby declare the ketchup packet competition OPEN! Keep an eye on your stuff. Who knows? One of you might already have it. ;)

Life Isn't Always Fair
I know this is something you all already know, but I feel like today of all days I should tell you that some of the best things in life spring from those moments that are NOT fair. (And don't forget to tell your mom you love her every chance you get)
Da Vinci's Notebook
The title of the song
Naive expression of love
Reluctance to accept that you are gone
Request to turn back time
And rectify my wrongs
Repetition of the title of the song
Thanks Bob and Tom.

As Finals Approach...
When I finally decide to not procrastinate any longer I'm almost sure my room will look similar, except my beverage of choice would be juice boxes but hey, that's just me.
I love Corin Nemec
An idea I yoinked from Allison.
Aren't you just happy to see him again? Don't you still miss the Parker Lewis series? Of the early 1990s? I do. I do.
Life's OK when Corin's on your side.

Ketchup, Part I
Narrator: The goldfish post has been made possible in part by the Ketchup Advisory Board...
{gentle piano music begins}
Fred: These are the good years for Bar and me. The kids have moved out and gotten married or gone to college. We are persuing our hobbies, taking time to savor the things that we didn't have time for as parents. The kids still call on weekends, visit on holidays...but we have free time to ourselves. It's a wonderful period of our lives.
Of course, health isn't what it used to be.
Bar: Oh Fred, it's not that bad. Hypertension affects millions of people our age and you can still live for years and years without worrying.
Fred: Bar, stop it.
Bar: Oh, Fred, I mean it, I...
Fred: No seriously Bar, stop it. Those are the exact words that they said on "Providence" last night to the grocer the day before he had a heart attack. You're freaking me out.
Bar: Didn't the grocer survive?
Fred: That's not the point, Bar. I would just as soon avoid the whole thing altogether.
Bar: Oh, Fred, aren't you making too much of this?
Fred: You can't make too much of these things, Bar. I have to make lifestyle changes. I am starting a more vigorous exercise regimen next week that will replace our morning walks. No more staying up late to do crosswords. No more cigars, not even to celebrate. No more fatty foods or salty snacks. I am going to start by throwing out the rest of these delicious but sodium-laced Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers that we've been eating nonstop for the last month.
Bar: But Fred, can't hypertension also be caused by too much stress?
Fred: What's your point, Bar?
Bar: Well, I'm no doctor, but maybe you're just not getting enough Ketchup.
Fred: Ketchup?
Bar: Ketchup is nutritious and has natural mellowing agents that can reduce stress levels. Why don't we make sure you get some more Ketchup in your diet before we try any of those other crazy ideas you had?
Fred: Well...
Bar: Why don't I start by bringing you a nice plate of Goldfish crackers with Ketchup? Doesn't that sound nice?
Fred: {sigh} Yes, Bar. That does sound nice.
{piano crescendos, singing begins}
Singer: These are the good years
for fulfilling our old wishes
Spending time with the one you love
doing crosswords or the dishes

{returns to major key; crescendos}
Narrator: Ketchup. For the good times.
{piano swells to climax}
Singer: Ketchup! Ketchup!

Did you know their made of real cheese?
Eventhough they look like fishees?

Build a Better Mousetrap
Contemplations at the work place
So I'm at my desk when the most amazing mullet-headed person walks in the door. I greet him...er uh...her....uh this person with a standard hello but I can hardly keep from staring. Is this the moment when I should have said "Excuse me undecernable sex person, 1983 called and wants it's hairstyle back" ?
Thanks to all those that made the Sandwich Soiree a success.

If someone over the age of 65 wants to drive a motor vehicle they need to go to a basic driver training course where they will be brainwashed.
A la Jedi.
You cannot drive. You have an inability to look both ways before entering an intersection. You cannot drive.
You cannot drive. You insist on driving a car that was recalled in 1972. You cannot drive
You cannot drive. You are too freakin' old to be safe on the road. You cannot drive.

I love bubble baths.
Idea yoinked from TR.
Not bubble bath you get from the daiye spa. "'Foaming crystals' last the 'duration' of your bath."
Mr. Bubble goes the distance. He doesn't go for speed. I'm not alone in my time of need.

Three Things...
1) I was lied to ... there will be no BYU vs. USU. vs. UTAH vs. UVSC vs. Pixar animation day on the 29th. But everyone come to animation day on the 28th at the U of U - good times.
2) Would anyone be interested in playing underwater hockey? The old team from high school is getting together. No, I am not making this up.
3) Hours spent this weekend partying - probably around 10 (Friday and Saturday combined). Hours spent on my 4 to 6 page essay due tomorrow - zero. I'll do it tomorrow during my effects class...or something... actually it sounds like a pretty fun paper. If you put Aristotle and Emerson in a 6' x 8' glass terrarium, and had them fight about 'socially responsible investing', then launched the glazened cage towards the sun, would they run out of breathable air or burn up first?

Smoking
I can't believe it's not poo.
I second hand smoke two packs a day. This week I second hand smoked enough for all of us. I have a splitting headache. My hair and clothing smell like crap. My mouth has some sort of film on it. I feel like I'm going to throw up.
I don't know how people can do this to their bodies.

2) Bananimation Extreme Superfunctorufflerama-motron '06!
Or, for those of you who don't know where that is, I've included the following map detailing the most direct route from the choir room to the New Media Wing, where the University of Utah will be showcasing their work all day long on Friday, April 28th (the first day of testing). Drop by... you will be richly rewarded visually and culinarily.
3) ANIMATION DAY @))^! (Note: that's not cursing - check yo' keyboard to decipher).
April 29th, 2006 - USU vs. Utah vs. UVSC vs. BYU vs. Pixar in the ultimate bout to knock the other school out... of funding... so that BYU can stop winning Emmies. One for the ages. Anyhows, if anyone is interested, this is the big event where Pixar comes and speaks and EVERYONE shows off their films. It's a ways to go, but well worth it.

Proposition
So this has been an idea that has been formulating for a little while now, but Elder Ballard's talk (and it really was Elder Ballard this time) gave me the impetus to do something. The idea: weekly gatherings (say my house) during the summer (and possibly the end of this semester if we can get the ball rolling) so that we don't have to go all summer with out seeing all our choir friends. Food is a given, games shall be dictated on the whims of those in attendance.
What does Elder Ballard have to do with this? Inviting friends to come and join us (member or not, choir member or not) and have fun. What say all y'all? I know my parents are cool with the idea, we have a largish yard, plenty of lawn chairs and a barbeque, what more could we need? As long as the gatherings aren't incredibly huge numbers of people and don't go too late, I doubt that my parent would change their "your friends are always welcome" stance.
Only thing is food: shall it be potluck or assigned? As much as I'd like, I cannot provide it every week. Comments, concerns, problems with the idea shall now be intertained.

LDS Themes, Dreams and Schemes
I found some interesting stuff while trying to find pictures of conference today (specifically of the guy dressed up as the Dark Prince. Really odd, ask Allison). First, I discovered that this girl Summer that I went to high school with is all over the LDS market. I've seen her in the "Light of the World" video, the Tuacahn commercials, and most recently, the "Esther and the King" video from "Liken the Scriptures series. Um, it's weird. She's super talented. It's just weird.
I also ran across an article lamenting the horrific quality of the dying LDS film market. "When 'God's Army,' a missionary drama made for $250,000, made more than $2.6 million at the box office, [Richard] Dutcher envisioned an opening for other Mormon filmmakers to tell their stories. Instead, he saw 'an avalanche of mediocrity."
"I feel like I built this pool, and I thought, 'Hey, let's all have this party.' And everybody came over and said, 'Hey, that's a really cool pool,' and they all jumped in and started peeing in it," Dutcher said. "And the people who peed in it are now saying, 'We don't want to swim in that pool anymore because there's pee in it.' " He indicts HaleStorm movies specifically for sucking.
And lastly, as if his dubious reputation as an "Mormon" filmmaker didn't upset him enough, this also sucks. His office burned down two weeks after relocating from Provo to Mapleville.
He went to Hillcrest, too.
