Excitement!

Is it weird for me to get excited about all of the page-views I get on here and the other site I am working on? Every time I check it makes me happy to see that someone has visited my sites and stayed for a bit. It makes me feel popular. Even though i only get a few every day, I appreciate every one of you viewing this right now.

Self Deception

Today I did a crazy thing. The Parking lot I park in is always packed. Today I was there at just the right time to find a handful of spots open. But I didn't take the one closest to the building! Infact I didn't take the next closest one either. I took the one in the back and all the way to the left in the minisqule addition behind the trees.

Why did I do this? Good question. You see, today I decided to play a prank on myself.

Today I am at school for almost 10 hours. By the time I get out of my final class I have always forgotten where my car is, but that's ok because the parking lot is empty that time of night so it's hard to miss my car. Today, I parked where I did, for no other reason than to be able to come out and not instantly find my car! It will be great! To so perfectly play a prank on myself. The anticipation is killing me!

..... Hopefully my excitement won't make me remember what I have done....

Look Out Below!

I have a class this semester that sits on the top floor of a 4 level building. And each level is quite tall. 12 feet, I'm sure, before you reach the ceiling of a floor and at least 5 feet of stuff before the floor of the next level up. How do i know these lengths you ask? Well, the center of the building is open. So there is a large hole going from the roof of the building to the floor.

I'm not the type of person that is afraid of heights but I do make sure to hold onto something solid when I'm a good distance off the ground. But I am the type that wants to cause a ruckus. So many times I have wanted to drop something off the top floor just to watch it fall. Preferably something electronic. I can only imagine the satisfying crunch and explosion of plastic that would result! Someday, I will make it happen!

Digital Media!!!

Can I just say, I love my major!!! Yesterday, I was walking to class. In the hall I passed the assistant dean to my major in a serious conversation with one of the photography teachers. They were both bent over the assistant deans iPhone, absolutely discussed over DC comics new logo. Here is the logo throughout history.

Admittedly, when they do themes with it, its better.

But I still agree with the 2005 logo being the best.


That same assistant was also showing the dean a new game that he downloaded. And they were both geeking out about how some of the mechanics they had thought up for a game they were working on were found in this new game.

It made me reflect on the other fun conversations and things I see in the building where all the digital media classes are. A cute girl playing the DOTA2 beta (no really! She was for real playing it like a boss!), a conversation about how great the new Muppet's movie is, and a number of people can be seen playing video games at all times. Who knew that geek heaven could be found between two dozen classrooms and an elevator!

Delusions of Grandure

I'm part of a group on Facebook that is dedicated to waving your hand in front of an automatic door to feel like a Jedi. I realized the other day that, epicly walking through doors was only the beginning.

I was walking past some windows. It was a chilly day but not cold enough for a coat. I had my hood up on my hoodie, and as I passed into the view of these windows, I nearly fainted. For a brief moment, out of the corner of my vision, I was walking next to a Jedi!! As I turned to look, and realized that it was me, I caught this perfect 'face in shadows' thing. It was totally just like the movies! You could only see part of my nose and mouth. I felt epic! Total urban Jedi.

I wonder if I need a permit to carry a lighsaber..... Or maybe an asp baton....

Squeaky–Clean

So I showered this morning. It was nice. I naturally woke up shortly before my alarm. Normally that would suck, but today it was ok. The shower was nice and warm, due to no one else being up yet. When I got out I was asked if I was clean. To which I replied 'squeaky'. Naturally the response to that was a finger running down my arm. So, of course, I said 'squeak'. I was then rebuffed! Apparently my squeak was to low! I told them to not judge me! So my squeaky-clean-ness makes lower noises than everyone else! Does that make me a bad person?

In other news it's the middle of winter here in Utah. But it rained last night so I figured that everything would be covered in ice this morning. I was wrong. It was still soggy at 7:30 in the morning. Also, it's nice to be able to see the entire valley clearly. Thank you rain. I appreciate your work.
