Ira Glass loves fly fishing

Night before last, Nate delivered some custom flies to a fly fishing enthusiast/photographer that he knows. He asked me if I wanted to go, meet the guy, get a portrait done. Umm...yeah. Not really into pictures of myself taken by other people.

When Nate came home, he handed me a poster from "This American Life." I freakin' jumped up and down, screaming like a little girl at a Hannah Montana concert.

See, this guy was the still photographer when Showtime did a shoot in Utah for the "This American Life" TV series. Basically, he has a bunch of pictures and schwag from the show hanging around. It's probably good that I didn't go with Nate. Acting like you're at a Hannah Montana concert in someone's living room makes people uncomfortable and makes you look insaner than normal.

At this point if you don't know what "This American Life" is, then we're totally breaking up.

If you want to start dating again, please go HERE and bone up on "This American Life."

This + This + This = good movie?

I heard about this movie yesterday called "Blindsight." It's about these kids (ages 14-19) who...well, hell. Let's just quote the website: "Blindsight follows the gripping adventure of six Tibetan teenagers on their journey to climb a mountain in the shadow of Everest."

The mountain they are climbing is called Lhakpa-Ri which means "stormy mountain." It's just 6,000 feet shorter than Everest. (Is that even the right way to say that? "Shorter?" Can a mountain be shorter?)

It sounds pretty interesting, has won some awards but the trailer is less than impressive. I hope that means the movie will be good.

Putting crap to good use

There's this housing project going up in SLC called City Center Lofts. Nate and I were like, "Whatever. A new development," until we found out the condos are being made out of old storage containers. It's a green effort, a recycled effort, something pretty exciting.

One of the designers of this project has some pretty cool ideas about architecture. (see above)

And now, Nate and I just needa little plot of land and we'll put a "Quik House" on it. Seriously, guys, I haven't stopped thinking about this since I found it on the interweb.

Now you, too, can be obsessed (if it's in your nature and stuff.) http://www.architectureandhygiene.com/main.html

First, apologies are in order.

I have fallen off the blog bandwagon. I didn't mean to, but it's hard when basically, you have three jobs! But now, I am back.

Plus, also, my little sister wrote this on my Facebook wall: "SASS! Whats going on with your blog? I need to read it every day so my life is complete! J/K but serously! Well Love ya.XOXO"

I assume you all feel the same way. Of course, you do. Otherwise, why would you be here reading my blog?

Exactly.
