Bullet in the head

Ok, so think of every possible way you could destroy a zombie's brain- I think it was in this movie. Defibrillator to the head- check, sword slicing someone's head in half- check, bow and arrow through the eye- check, acid- check, dynamite- check and the Amish guy with a sickle was sheer brilliance. It was disgustingly awesome and super campy, which made it all the more fun. The audience laughed and even cheered at some parts. Going to a Sundance movie is really fun, I think that the audience is more free to really express their reactions to the film which makes the seeing of a movie more like an experience then just a thing to do to fill up time.

I love me some zombie movies. Although it's times like these that I really hate that I sleep alone. I need someone to protect me from all the flesh eating zombies. Maybe I should just invest in a defibrillator.

Or a cricket bat.

Happy Auspicious Day!!!

Today started off well, I got a check for a lot of money when I REALLY needed it. It's because I pay my tithing of course. The church is true.

I also got in to graduate school. . . finally!!! I will start working on my MSW in the fall of this year (actually the summer, when I do a two week crash course in place of the first year). 2009 I will be a graduate. Life will be crazy for that year, working 40 hours a week, going to school full time and doing a 20 hour a week practicum. It can be done.

Today is now a holiday. January 17 is officially Auspicious Day. Good things will come to me and you on this day forevermore! I declare it.



Go Utes . . . again.

Swollen hands, cold feet

I would love for you all to go HERE (he's got more pictures). This is my friends Spencer and Breckan's blog. Over the weekend I went canyoneering in Zion National Park with them and Joey. It was seriously scary at times, but so so fun. You repel and climb over and under and through many things, drop down into ice covered water, break through it and swim- trying the whole time to keep your already frozen hands above the water. We went through 2 and a half canyons (the half was us going the wrong way up a canyon instead of down). The last repel was over a hundred feet down with you just lowering yourself down. I tried to play it cool, but there were times I was completely terrified. I had to will myself over the edge on some of those repels. Knowing that the only way out was down helped with the motivation. I wish I had a picture of how fat my hands were at the end. They were so swollen they looked ridiculous. I have felt like a truck ran me over for the past two days, but in a good way.


By the way, this is me. Seriously.

Most awesome google search ever

"sex hungry moms angela" led them right to me. The world wide web never ceases to amaze me.

2008 is gonna be great and maybe I'll date or find a mate and then procreate or move outta state or stop being late or some other fate . . .

Did you like my rhyme? Don't judge me. It's 1:20 am and I should be asleep- but I'm not. I just spent $71.00 on pills that the doctor said would make me sleep. I have been in bed since 11 and sleep has yet to find me. I am so frustrated.

So I decided to do what I always do when I can't sleep. Throw down some sic rhymes- like the title of this blog. I should be a rapper. Ok, I actually blog when I can't sleep, not rap. I'm beginning think the sleeping pills are effecting me, just not in the way I would like and that way would be TO SLEEP.

So, it's 2008 and I have come up with some resolutions for the new year. My roommate keeps saying this quote to me, but I can't remember it-it's something like "if you don't write it down, it's just a thought" or something. It's far more profound than that, but I can't remember it so it loses it's luster. The quote is basically saying that if you don't write down a goal it's not going to happen. So here they are, for all to see and for all to judge me harshly if I don't follow though- resolutions 2008.

1)Get more sleep. Not joking. I have given myself a bedtime for the weekdays and maybe even the weekends if it is possible. 10:30 or 11:00pm. I have done pretty well so far. Well, I have gotten into my bed at 10:30 every night this week- the actually sleeping part I am struggling with. I just got a new prescription not covered by my insurance that was supposed to help. This blog is proof that insomnia is smarter than some stupid expensive pill.

2)No more soda. This is going to be a tough one. So far so good. I love me some diet coke with lime- but I broke up with it and now I am dating water with lime. I just think it's time to grow up and I thought it might help with number 1.

3)Gym 3X a week. I felt really guilty paying for a membership that I wasn't using and I am squishy in many places that I shouldn't be. So look for me Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I'll be there. Times may change- oh but I will be there.

4)Try harder at work. Things like more carefully planning out my days and utilizing my time better. Blah Blah Blah. This week I was on fire.

(now for the churchy)
5)Go to all three hours of church. This hasn't been a huge problem in the past, but SOMETIMES I would just show up for sacrament. No more lazy church attendance. I am committed.

6)Temple twice a month. I think you get this one.

7)Fast 24 hours each month and pay fast offerings. When I do this I always receive amazing blessings and it's so easy. I just need to do it. So for the next 11 months (January-Successful!) every month I am doing it. And I will fast about something truly significant.

8)VISITING TEACHING. This has always been hard for me. I want to be excellent at it.

Miscellaneous
9)Spend less time on the internet. Time suckage.

10)Start singing and performing again. Made a step toward that tonight. I am in this new amazing women's musical ensemble. Keep a look out, we will be performing in a town near you at some point.

11)Read at least one book a month. BOOK CLUB!!!! This is going to happen Mike- next week?

12)No more swearing. Seriously. I've given it up. I have had one relapse, but I am back on the wagon.

And lastly- this isn't really a resolution, but to share something exciting, insightful or whatever about every day this year. I do that here. Don't worry, I will still keep up with number 9.

Sorry this is so long. I normally quit reading someones blog once it gets long and boring. Hope you are all still reading. Help me out with this eh? 2008 is gonna to rock my socks off.

Chuck Norris for president or for executioner!!

Did anyone else know that Chuck Norris is on the campaign trail with Huckabee? I didn't know until today. That is fascinating. I still am not planning on voting for Huckabee- but it is pretty awesome to be endorsed by Chuck Norris.

I was talking (texting) with Joey about what we were listening to on NPR (at the same time, in different states) and we were text discussing the death penalty. That was a hot topic since the lethal injection practices in some states were being questioned. I sent a text that said "lethal injection should be replaced by Chuck Norris", Joey's response was "So quick it would be painless. Chuck's spit in your eye would do the same as all three injections . . . in one tenth the time."

It made me laugh a lot.

Don't be fooled. I do not support the death penalty, even if it was performed by Chuck Norris and I do not support Huckabee, however because Walker Texas Ranger supports him, he does kinda rule.

Hot Lava!

Went to Lava Hot Springs last night, where we soaked and soaked until our whole bodies were pruney. It was great. Afterwards we were in desperate want for food- talk about a one horse town! We missed the gas station by 20 minutes. There was discussion of eating one of our party and since it was Mike's idea to go to Lava, he was the first choice. But instead we decided to go to sleep hungry and venture out for a ma and pa breakfast the next morning. After breakfast we went to a sword shop, because what else would you need in the middle of nowhere with only hot springs around, a sword is a necessity.

All in all it was a good time. Our motel seemed a little bit like something you'd see in a horror movie, but we all got out alive.




Oh and I am so glad we didn't have to share a bathroom with the other patrons.

Elimidate

I sorta ended up on an elimidate tonight. I wasn't elimidated, so that is a relief, but neither was Aliah- which made the doorstep scene a little awkward. I did, however, laugh a lot and learn a lot of "new moves" from the other daters involved. I was hand hold raped, but I kinda liked it. I was really disappointed that we all didn't end up in a hot tub at the end of the night. Sarah got the ax, but only 5 minutes before the date was over. Way to go Sarah! You lasted way longer this time. Thanks a lot Nate, now I have the elimidate song in my head.

What a Merry Christmas!

I had a wonderful Christmas with my family. We ate together and played together and sang Karaoke together. I am so disappointed, there is a video that was taken of my mother and father singing a hilarious Christmas Karaoke duet, but I couldn't get it to upload. So so funny. Here is a picture of us singing to the DVR Karaoke- It was a magical trio of "Blue Christmas". I think it is now a Robson family Christmas tradition. Karaoke on Christmas Eve. Tommy sang a beautiful rendition of "all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth". I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
Normally the best part of Christmas for me is the giving, but I have to say that the getting was especially awesome this year. At 29, you would think your family would know you well enough to get you things that match you and your life. If that is the case- I have become quite an interesting person.

My mother was very excited to give me her "special gift"- it was a creepy porcelain doll. I do not collect dolls and I'm not 12- my mom must have missed that. She also bought me skanky PJ's that will look awesome over my garments and an 80's (not in a good way) red sweatshirt with mesh lining. My mother said that she thought the doll would look "precious" in my room. My mom is the precious one.

I have to say that the gifts were a surprise and maybe not what I would have asked for, but it was such a great Christmas and I love how excited my mom was to give me the things she did. Here is a picture of the doll.

I love Karaoke, I love my silly little doll- it's a pink frilly piece of my mother's heart on a pedestal.

Happy New Year!

There was a new year's dance party at my house last night (I still haven't gone to sleep) and it was awesome.

Here is the song that rang in the new year.


2008 is going to rock my socks off.
