TRIM THE TREE

if you haven't figured it out yet,
i love christmas!

i finally got a stand for my tree, so last night i decorated it.
it was weird doing it without my family this year.
it will always be a tradition in my family someday.

PART TWO


have at it.
part one


i realize that that page doesn't have the translation for the sixth, seventh, and fifteenth character.
it's a / but you should've known that out of context, right?

SIX MINUTES



i loved this for obvious reasons.

man, today has been all about time.
speaking of time, i had a marvelous time at lunch today.

TAKE A SECOND



take a second to enjoy these seconds.

FROST


the nice thing about not having a car is not having to scrape the windows in the mornings.
and that's the only reason. i would do anything to have my car at college. (mom, you reading this?)

PART ONE


ZC

in case you didn't notice, zach finally wrote on his corner.
you know, i've always wondered why we decided to call it a corner when really, it's a column...
beats me. but you should read it anyways. he explains why he's been gone for so long.

COMPLEXCITY

i found this graphic a few years ago and attempted to paint it on my wall.
well, i never starting painting it, i just got everything ready and then had second thoughts.
but i still love it. and after some intense googling i found it again and then some.





it's called ComplexCity Seoul
see more here.

SO READY

college is tough stuff.
that's why i'm so ready for thanksgiving break.
and not just because it's a break,
but because it's thanksgiving!
i absolutely love this time of year.
and it snowed last night!
that makes it even better.

here, enjoy some virtual hot punkin pie,

ROJ-MAHAL


he earned this nickname on a cruise. danny said roj (roger minus the er)
it sounded like taj-mahal and so... anyways, he's been a great friend of mine.
it's not every day that you go over to your friend's house to hangout with their dad. 
i consider him my second dad- and i'm his favorite son.

happy birthday, to the manliest of men!
roger harding.


BE ADVISED

there is an impostor among us.



every blinking morning i make waffles, they tear in half.
this morning i almost lost it and tossed the can through the window.
grilling pam never works. i need the original stuff.


can't a man just have waffles that stay in one piece?

MOVE A TINY BIT

this one's for lisa castleberry:

pick your spot,
take your breath,
and move a tiny bit.
tiny bit means tiny bit,
not big bit
or regular bit.
tiny.
move a tiny bit.

i wish i was good stop motion.
maybe i should give it a shot.
in the mean time, enjoy these:








pretty neat, huh?


by the way, it should be obvious by now that if i'm gone for more than a few days i'm probably just studying like crazy. we had our second midterms last week and boy oh boy was it a doozy. i'm so glad it's over.

ONE OF THOSE DAYS


some days are best spent just relaxing.
today is one of those days.

the best spot is at the base of the couch...
on the mattress you brought from your room.

notice how i don't have a mustache anymore?
i chickened out, like always, and plus-
you can't blame me, i had a date!


listening to this will help you relax.

i went on one in june.

CO-INK-EEE-DINK

way back when we were the kids of the nineties,
everyone would say funny things.
like coinkeeedink instead of coincidence.

speaking of coinkeeedinks,
something totally weird just happened.

i sat down at my desk to read the Book of Mormon.
and, well, my computer was just sitting there-
and like any regular college student-
it took precedence over homework.
i opened up my regular sites.
and i stumbled upon this post.
i listened to the song, which was way good, 
and then opened my scriptures.
and...


wham!

that was a note from Jessie from when 
i let her borrow my scriptures one day.

how weird is that? 
i just read a post about finding old notes.
and then i find an old note.
written by the person who wrote about finding old notes.

woah... i need to sit down.

STUCK


you have got to be kidding me.
it's only fair, though.
