Cool Thing: Canada (esp. Alberta)

I love Canada. Especially Alberta. I'm going there this weekend, and there is nothing cooler.

Cool Thing: SUNBURN!

So I suppose most people would consider a sunburn as an "uncool" thing, but really after months of winter in Provo, I'm happy to be burnt. Thank you sun, and thank you warm spring weather! Also, school is almost up! I can't believe this semester is drawing to a close. I'm stoked for Canada, California, and (fingers crossed) Jerusalem!!!

Cool Thing: Tweeting Conference

So I tried something new this Conference weekend. For those of you that use Twitter, you could follow #ldsconf and see all the updates for people watching conference. Most people had great up-lifting things to say, or just noted things that they liked. Tweeting #ldsconf was like having a huge group conversation! Not only where there members tweeting, but some obvious non-members and/or antagonists towards the Church and the whole conference experience. Overall though, I would have to say it ended up being more of a distraction, I found myself watching more Twitter than conference at a couple of points. I eventually got off Twitter. I think it was fun to see the tweets between conference, but during conference I found myself not wanting to be distracted.

Cool Thing: Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone! What a great weekend! Easter + Conference = Awesome! What a wonderful commemoration of the Resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. I'm ready for the next six months!

Cool Thing: Mesa in March

I spent this last weekend in Arizona. Paradise. Honestly, when I left Provo, it was snowing at 5 a.m. and it was hard to believe that weather in March could actually be lovely--enter Arizona. Blue skies, 75 degrees, 8,000 sqft Villa, helicopter rides, and the most alluring aroma ever, orange tree blossoms! I was sitting on the balcony reading, over looking an orchard of these trees and the scent of those blossom wafting across the back side of the Villa was intoxicating.

March + Mesa = Mecca!

The only downer being of course this terrible cold I had. I say "this" because it still hasn't gone away. Though it was pretty entertaining trying to introduce myself to people with absolutely no voice whatsoever. I have MTV to thank for that.

(not) Cool Thing: Broken Heart part I

Our Cougars have lost, breaking the hearts of fans all across the world--including this guy (two thumbs point at myself)... tear. Better luck next year.

P.S. JT is overrated

P.P.S. On a positive note, congrats to those same Cougs for getting to the second round for the first time since 1993!

Cool Thing: Visitors!

Yeeesss! I didn't think I had any readers, (except you Dr. Wiley) but come to find out, someone from Beverly Hills (or who's internet nod is routed through Beverly Hills) stumbled on my blog today! YAY!

It should also be noted that I didn't start keeping track of this sort of thing till today (well, yesterday, it's 2 a.m.) So for all you visitors who have stopped by and didn't get the proverbial nod from me, consider yourself acknowledged.

And to think I was content writing for the ether, something really is corporeal out there!
