might as well face it.....

you're addicted to lost. dan and i have found ourselves with a serious problem over the last year. neither one of us watch t.v., ever. but we have these random obsessions with different television series that we will watch for hours at a time. it started with none other than roswell, which i brought home from work after borrowing it from a co-worker at farmington bay, and we watched every single episode, even when the story never changed and the characters became old and boring. then it was smallville, which i borrowed after roswell. smallville...well i have to admit that i've always crushed on superman, and this may have led to the next obsession. i think we made it through 4 seasons before we discovered that the characters were never going to grow up and smallville was never going to get rid of his red jacket. and then, i discovered arrested development. wow, now why was i wasting so much time with roswell and smallville? i really don't know. arrested development was by far the funniest. it was around the same time that i discovered the office as well. i guess i developed a more sophisticated taste in television series. until, lost. we yet again borrowed this series out of boredom, and now we're hooked. but really, are they ever going to get found? i don't get it. but i keep watching. perhaps we're not as sophicated as we thought.

another angel

i know, i stole this from deborah, but where does she get the talent to do such creative things, i just don't know. anyway, my second nephew was born on may 25 and i had the privilege of seeing him through the window at the hospital because he was admitted into the icu. as far as i know, he was released yesterday and is home now. he's definately a stuart. congratulations david and cori.

left my heart in jaxon

i missed the little guy as soon as i got on the plane to come home. 4 days just wasn't enough time to cuddle and feed and burp and coo him.

officially famous

one of my photographs was published in the 4th edition of schmaps in salt lake city. (hey, i guess if i can't be famous for hosting tuesday breakfast jam anymore, at least i can have this published picture to talk about, right?) it's a night shot of the cathedral of the madeline that i took for my photography class, and i have to say, it's beautiful (the cathedral).

"on jan. 15, the manangers of KRCL 90.9 fm, salt lake city's community radio station, dropped a bombshell during a meeting of volunteers who serve as the station's djs."

i think that's an accurate way to describe what happened that fateful night. but it seems that every meeting i've been to since (like the one last night, and the one this coming tuesday) has made the situation worse, brought more concealed information to the surface, and has created more ill willed feelings about the re-structuring of KRCL. mostly because i'm going to be losing my own show, tuesday breakfast jam, but also because of the sweet sadness that entails it. i will miss serving the community and meeting the amazing people that bring us all together. i've never been more proud to do anything than i have been to be a volunteer music programmer for krcl, and during one of their prime time slots no less. this has been an incredible and extraordinary experience for me, and has changed my life completely.

goodness at last

if this photo doesn't remind you to enjoy a breath of fresh air, then i guess you haven't been stuck in a vat of fluid for 9 months? ok, so this didn't turn out quite as clever as planned. but it's hard to be anything but excited over this little guy joining the family.

i love my family. party on.

doesn't get in the way anymore

it's been 60 days since i heard some horiffic (to me at the time) news about my cat, and one of my best friends, taiyed. he fractured his femur somehow while i was at work. which, as a meta-comment, is ironic because i don't let him outside for fear that he may get hit by a car, the number 1 way cats break their legs. well, since taiyed was a kitten, he has been put in a microwave by mikey, had his neck almost snapped in the mouth of a hungry black lab, was hospitalized with a near fatal case of urinary tract disease, and now this. this isn't so bad, considering. and he's sure cute with only 3 legs.
