Quick post before bedtime!

So, Me, Mandi, Chris, and my other roommate Kayleigh just got back from seeing Bourne Ultimatum. All I can say is:

WOW!!!!

Man, other than Lord of the Rings, that trilogy is the best trilogy I've ever seen!!!! Holy Cow!!! It's so cool! Action, suspense, and the constant question of "How is Bourne gonna get out of this one now?"

Man, if ever I'm in need of a good spy movie those are the ones to watch! It's so cool!

Not to mention, I want the soundtrack. That was an amazing soundtrack. And they played the same end theme for this one as the second one, and maybe the first movie but I don't remember. It looks like I'll have to have a Bourne marathon along with Lord of the Rings! ;D

Well, I'm off to bed. A big day ahead of me y'know, learning about the gospel and hunting down people to say prayers and give a thought and play the music at ward prayer.
G'night!

Flowy and Shiny

Today was the inauguration of SUU's new President, Micheal T. Benson, and I went to the 2-hour ceremony out of pure curiosity. Of the two hours that I sat and wrote (yes, I did get a page and a half written, I was very happy), I realized something:

I would dearly like to be a college teacher just so I could wear the robes.

Man, they were so cool! They were big and flowy, and came in either black, blue, or red. And in the black and blue, they had those weird scarfy thingies that hung down the back instead of the front. You know, it looks like the teachers are being strangled by their own uniform (now wouldn't that be nice?). Not to mention the cool, Renassaince-looking hats with tassles dangling in their faces. There was one teacher who looked like he could fit perfectly into Shakespear's time!

Anywho, my point is that I would dearly like to have a cool graduation or ceremony robe or something like those! They're so big and billowy and in such bright colors!

Not to mention the tassels. What fun!

Of course, I can have something kind of like the robes. . .it's not really shiney, but it is big and billowy. . .and it's tan. . .and it looks like a short cape. . . .and it even has a hood, though that kind of clothing normally does not. . . .

Long time no post

So I realized that anyone who doesn't believe that America, let alone the world, is becoming more and more corrupted should just walk into their local video rental store. Man, there's so many horrible movies, that I close my eyes sometimes when I return movies just so I don't look at them. This isn't something I've realized just recently, I've noticed during the three years I've worked at Hollywood Video how bad things are getting. Some of the movies that sit on those shelves make me wonder how they even were made into a DVD to be sold! I mean, over half of the movies in that store are ones that definitly went straight to DVD, but they should have never been made! Normally, I get irked when people misplace movies, or turn the scary-looking ones upside down, but there's a new movie called Pervert (yeah, a movie that should have NEVER BEEN MADE!!!) and whenever I look at it, I put movies in front of it. It's so offensive! That, so to speak, is the straw that broke the camel's back. From now on, I'm just going to stay in the kid's section, where the movies are happy and clean. If people get annoyed with me then that's their problem. I may be in this world, but I sure will not be of it!

Classes going on, same as usual. Last thursday, I had my first O-chem lab. Let me tell you, I was getting high off those fumes we were combining. Whooee (however that would be spelled), I was starting to feel out of it, dizzy, and my fingers started tingling. It was quite the adventure. If every single lab is like that, I think I'm going to be even more loopy than normal. You know, killing off brain cells that aren't there. Mandi squelched my brain out of my head at the start of school, so at least that's safe. I'll just have to get it back from her before she loses it. You have to keep a close eye on my brain because it likes to wander off. I know, Fiend, it's too little to be out on its own but it's a determined little thing, and likes to wander.

Which, come to realize, I'm in an interesting state. Here's why:
Mastah has my soul
The Elvish Pirate Gypsy Minion Fiend has my mind
Mandi has my brain, and when it's in my possession it's wandering about aimlessly

Life is tough, but that's why we have chocolate chip cookies!!!!

Update

Nothing.
Nada.
Zip.
Post closed. ;)
Hibernating.

Oh, so I was walking down the street and I saw a CAR and it was BLACK with WHITE all over it, so it wasn't really BLACK but WHITE but it looked BLACK!!

Yeah, seriously, nothing to say. . .or do.

Hummingbird Rescued By Dad

Just today, at 4:00 pm, a hummingbird was trapped in the Jones' garage. The poor little birdy could not penetrate the glass window that separated it from the safe, open skies. Luckily for the innocent little hummer, Nathan Jones, age 10, had noticed its predicament when entering the garage after a long, but enjoyable day at school, and raced into his father's office. After telling his father, Richard Jones, age 24, about the bird, Richard Jones took it upon himself, as a citizen of Elk Ridge and Protector of all unfortunate animals, to rescue the bird from the dark and plaster walls of the garage. Unfortunately, humans cannot speak the lyrical language of Birds, and so Richard Jones had to offer the hummingbird his finger, and wait until the tiny bird perched upon it. However, the bird, already frightened of the dark garage and scary machines that we humans use for transportation, repeatedly flew off of his finger and back to the window. It took many tries, each time Richard Jones walked farther and farther from the window, until the bird stayed on his finger until he was standing right outside the garage. Then, seeing the open skies above and the next door neighbors' trees beyond, the bird took off with a hum of its petite wings and flew to the top of the nearest tree, happy to be free once again.

The citizens of the Hummingbird Community and Elk Ridge, and, most of all, the nature-loving Jekka Goat Senoj wish to express their upmost gratitude to Richard Jones, and hereby award him this Medallion of Good Deeds:
Thank you, Richard Jones, for saving the Hummingbird's life. May all your chocolate stashes be filled with peppermint patties!

Signing off, Jekka Goat Senoj

Compassionate Cedar City Citizen

Yes, I like alliteration, haven't you noticed yet? Anywho, I just needed to say that the people here in Cedar City are very nice and so helpful. Here's the story:

I had bought a book with all my other books (it only cost $40), only to discover today that I would not need it at all. You see, it was a required text for my lecture class, but that was because the professor also taught a lab and I guess you needed the book for his labs. I don't have him for lab, I have a different teacher, who uses a different book. I guess I could have noticed this last week, but I didn't have a lab then because the lab was getting inspected (it is a tiny lab and all of us students are crammed in there with all these big monitors staring at us). So, I didn't realize until today that I had bought a book I didn't need at all. I figured it was past the day to get refunds on books you don't need, but I decided to go and try anyway.

I went up to the counter and asked the lady if it was too late to refund books. She asked if I had a drop slip for dropping a class, and I said I didn't, I just found out that I didn't need this book after all. She said she was sorry, that she couldn't do that, and I said that was alright (it was only $40). She then asked me why I didn't need it and I explained about the lecture and lab teacher situation, and that I didn't find out until today, when I had lab. I said it was all good and got ready to leave when she said, "Wait, I'll do it anyways." It was a pleasant surprise and so I gave her my reciept and debit and she did her magical typing and swiping so that the money was put back onto my card. I was so grateful that she did that, and she said, just before I walked away, "I guess today was really the last day to do that sort of thing!" She was so nice and understanding! It's only forty dollars, but it was nice that she did that. The alternative was to let it sit in my closet, gathering dust, until I sold it back for half price. I was okay with doing that, but getting back all the money was nicer. She was so nice. All those people are nice.

And I have chocolate Nutella on my arm, I best lick it off.
Licking off happily, Booke De'Vourer
