airports

how anyone gets anything accomplished in an airport, i do not know. the people watching is just overwhelmingly available. i could not write things down fast enough. there was a woman with a small boy. just learning how to walk. she was on the phone and pushing her rolie bag like a stroller. and her son was holding onto the bag and walking next to it. pretty funny. then an old man saw it and laughed. was trying to get his wife's attentiona but couldn't. he was looking back and forth between his wife and the baby. once he realized he had no chance in getting his wife's attention, he just stared with a smile at the baby... i enjoyed watching it all.
the same older couple, as i was walking out of san fran airport, was walking in front of me. as we were going up the escalator and he was worried about losing his wife. so he grabbed the collar of her jacket. really cute.
also, airports are a pain now... don't wear belts when flying... or shoes... or jackets... or bring your computer...

recent discovery

so, this morning i burnt the H out of my bagel. then realized i had no cream cheese. so, naturally i look for a substitute. i found the little triangle swiss cheeses i used to eat at my brother's house[katie, you know what i'm talking about!]. then, the brilliant idea strikes. spread the amazingly tastey and softy cheese on the bagel. so i did. it was fabulous. note to self: yummy little swiss cheeses are a substitute for buy-in-a-tub cream cheese. amazing.

things i notice... then smile.

walking to school last week, i believe it was thursday. i was walking into the jsb and saw a man on his cell phone. this is what i heard of his conversation.
" no! no, thats apples and... pick-up trucks! thats not even apples and oranges!"
he seemed pretty upset. but, pick-up trucks?? seriously?

waiting outside the same building, this week, i saw a girl who was all dressed up for some presentation. nice top, stinkin tight pencil skirt that was half slit, and black patent leather stilettos. these shoes were probably at least a size too big. there was about a half-inch of shoe behind her heel. also, with every step she took, she looked like she was about to topple over. the head bobbed and everything. pretty funny.

i asked reza aslan, author of No God but God, to sign my sketchbook because the bookstore was all sold out of his book. so, i had him sign an empty page of my book. this is what he wrote, " I did not write this book! -reza aslan" funny right? he was awesome. thats right, i have met and shaken hands with a man who has made appearances on both the daily show and the colbert report. i'm awesome.

my new favorite sculptor. liz larner. check her out. 3rd of 11 is my favorite.

i wonder if there is a way to indicate raspy-ness when writing a blog... i halfway lost my voice. it has been progressively worse and ridiculously drawn out.
okay, so, the weekend.
friday night- i saw regina spektor in concert. music was, as expected, fabulous. she as a person was, outrageously unexpected, crude and mean. weird right? such a tiny little person and yet such anger and language came out of her. lesson learned, i am not a concert goer.
saturday- football game! kind of uneventful. but fun. sat with julie the whole time. we discussed much. we, byu, won. it was pretty good.
saturday night- stake conference and a hang out session at le bourgeousie. fun boys. probably the highlight of the weekend.
sunday- stake conference. and le boys of le bourgeousie come to la casa de las mujeres del amazon. how you like dem apples?
sunday night- over to daniels to watch the fountain with rendon and jeremiah. good times.

ps- still don't have a voice... also, happy early birthday katie!!! love and miss you immensely!
