Some random thoughts

Nothing in particular just some stuff i have been thinking about lately.

- Norah Jones: it amazes me that i can never not like you. Your music, especially your first cd, is really, really amazing. Me and a person that I was really close to in high school, would drive around chilling to that cd. It allowed for some really good conversation. We decided that any one of those songs can just take you to a different place. Don't Know Why takes you to a beach on a cooler day where there is no one else out there but you and maybe the person you are in love with. Come Away with me, is the song that will be stuck in my head traveling to wherever it is i will go on a honeymoon......provided that it ever happens. And also provided that ever happens, i really don't care about any of the details of the wedding, and i don't really want there to be dancing, but if there is, i want to choose the song......and i want that to be Painter Song, by Norah Jones.

- I seriously cannot create a play list that doesn't eventually end up having a Killers/Brandon Flowers song on it somewhere. That is not a lie.

- I am really grateful for such good friends. I am 700 miles away from you guys, well, with the exception of WIll and Magz who are only like 300 miles away and i get to see a little more often because they are awesome enough to let me come over when I need to get away from law school and life here for a weekend. Those two are seriously the best and produced the cutest kid i have ever seen. I talk with four of you on basically a daily basis, you know who you are, and I just wanted to say thank you for your friendship it really means a lot to me, and i think you are all the best. Magz please accept this for Will, because I am pretty sure he doesn't know what blogs are.

- I have been listening to Stephen Colbert's audiobook as I try to fall asleep and have written down my favorite quotes for you:
"Sorry handball, you are just tennis for poor people"
"Every time I see a lady in the WNBA make a basket I can't help but think a guy could have done it better"
"The first sport you should ever watch is baseball. It is as American as apple pie. So American in fact, that I think it should be played with a real apple. And I have a lot of other good ideas too"
"In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. Sorry Darwin-huggers, it wasn't in the beginning a monkey evolutioned gay marriage."

- My mom is awesome. That should just be a given. But as it turns out I left a few things back in UT over break, and she is kind enough to mail them to me. Seriously three packages in the last two weeks. I procrastinate a lot, especially when it comes to packing and prefer to do it all in the 30 minutes prior to when i leave to go somewhere. And i always forget something somewhere.

- Instant streaming from Netflix is the best/worst thing to ever happen to me.

- Parks and Recreation is tying with 30 Rock as my favorite show on television. And I am so glad the Office has stepped up its game this season. Dear friends at my former place of employment: I miss our Friday chats about the television shows on the night before and the office office parties we had. Good times.

- Never trust the scantily clad female who sits down at the same black jack table as you to know what she is doing. She will hit on 15 with the dealer showing a 6 every . single . time. That said dealer, will then not get the jack she received by hitting when she is not supposed to, and will get a 5, giving him 21 and beating your 20. And you will then lose.

- I had my first experience at an Indian Casino last weekend with my roommate Jake. We both learned that lesson the hard way.

- I am craving Red Iguana.

- I am also craving Cauliflower soup from Zuppa's. Or the cauliflower soup that i make from scratch. Seriously just as good as Zuppa's. I just don't have time to make it down here.

- I enjoy it being 70 and sunny during the winter. Here is to hoping it lasts until May.

You forgot to mention your best friend that lives nearly 1000 miles away. That was weird.

I'm a friend of the aforementioned Mags and she passed your blog on to me because she thinks you are hilarious (and have an unmatched knowledge of celebrity trivia). I've been stalking your blog for a bit now and figured I could come out of the creep closet.

And I have to agree with you about Parks and Rec - one of my favorites.

The feeling about said song is mutual and not that you ever need it, but I give you permission to use it. Whole heartedly.

Awwww BRad. It's just a shame i didn't know you better when we were .5 miles away...sigh. You are welcome here anytime! Anyone who says that about Owen deserves to sleep on our deluxe sofa.
