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.

I'm obsessed

So I found out I'll get my first paycheck from Apple this weekend. I'm pretty excited but not for the money. Freak! It will be an APPLE check. I know it's dumb. But this is really cool for me.

Basically, I'm obsessed. Obsessive compulsive. That's me.

• It's standing in the CD isle at Graywhale and centering all the CDs as I flip through them.

• It's trying to make a photo look naturally eroded and organically degraded, but knowing it looks planned.

• And it's getting sucked in by Mac culture. A friend told me the other day that I'm buying into the whole thing. "You're being brainwashed by Apple," she said.

And if I am...well, I am.

So, here's to the crazy ones.

Cheesy Poofs

Fond memories of Cheetos Puffs:
• Bribing my little brother to do anything - pick up toys, be good at the grocery store, not wet his pants - with the promise of a bag.
• My little brother eating a jumbo bag in the 15 minutes it took us to get from the store to the house.
• My little brother chomping them from end to end, quick like a wood chipper.

Today at 7-11 I bought a bag of Cheetos - the puff kind - because I have wanted them for weeks but Sev has let me down on every trip. Until today.

Ah, Sev, you have finally delivered and Cheetos ... you have given me so many memories and ... now, an orange tongue.

Any Backstreet lovers in the audience?

In case you missed it on Letterman...
Or you live in a cave...
Or you are in Korea..
Here is something you probably need to see.

My one pet

I do have one pet. It's a fish. A female beta fish. Whenever I come home, I dance around in front of her bowl and say really fast, "Hi fish, hi fish, hi fish!"

This morning, when Nate first woke up, I started saying, "Hi Nate, hi Nate, hi Nate!"

"I'm not your fish," he said in a very unenthusiastic tone. So true.

But seriously, my fish is pretty rad. She zooms around in her bowl whenever she sees me. I know it's only because she thinks I'm gonna feed her.

So shut up.
