Spock and I are FINALLY leaving for Hawkeye camp, in which we will attempt to train little monsters how to be Robin Hood. Starts tomorrow. Yeah yeah!
Because this hasn't started yet, i don't have any pictures. But instead, enjoy this picture of Dwight K. Schrute howling at the moon while wearing the exact wolf t-shirt that I desire.
It might be awhile until my next post, but I will do my best.
Yeah yeah! Successfully completed the Dirty Dash 2012 spring race! Channeling our inner liger, Spock and I dressed up as Kip and Napoleon Dynamite. It was too priceless and Spock looked incredible. There really is not much to say about a mud race, except that it was grimy and dirty and such a blast. I cannot describe it to you as well as the pictures show. Have a look and be jealous.
We look so good! We looked so good that in fact a couple random people wanted to take our pictures. Wow. That's magically delicious! If you have never heard of the Dirty Dash or maybe you have, GO SIGN UP FOR IT RIGHT NOW. And then dress up in something ridiculous. It is the best five miles i've ever ran (minus trudging through the bog of eternal stench). There are things to climb over, mud pools to jump in (and rejuvenate your skin) and even a GIANT slide. The Dirty Dash is number one!
So long and thanks for all the fish!
PEE ESS: Credit goes to my mum for these fabulous pictures. WOOT.
This is just a short little post about something that happened today that I thought was quite hilarious. My dog, Charlie, has been scratching his neck raw which means we can't put a cone of shame around him to stop it. So, last night my parents came up with the idea of tying a shirt around his neck to help him stop scratching it or something. Basically, his foot gets caught and then scratching is evaded once more. BUT TODAY, he goes down the steps into the backyard and when he comes back up, the shirt somehow managed to untie and he miraculously threaded his leg inside one of the arm holes and the other leg through the neck. I was dying. So i took this picture.
That is all. Thanks for joining me today. For an extra dose of excitement, please enjoy this picture of Spock trying to snowboard down Millie.
Last night I saw The Avengers movie for the second time. Accompanying me was Robert and Jenessa and it was a grand adventure. First off, Tuesdays at the cinema are discounted! Totaling only $6.00 at any time of the day, Tuesdays can't be beat. The movie theater is also just down the street from Del Taco which also has discount tacos on Tuesdays. If there is any other day of the week that is better than Tuesday, please let me know. Anyway.. I was here to talk Avengers. I think it might have been all the candy we ate and dinking around that happened that made this movie so hilarious.
In the very beginning, Black Widow is fighting guys while she is tied to a chair and flips her head back to knock out the guy behind her but she wasn't nearly close enough and only her hair hits him and yet he gets knocked out. That must have been one wicked hair flip. Watch this video, and keep your eyes peeled at about 28 seconds in.
Did you see it? Silly, huh? It even has it's own sound effect. I wish my hair possessed butt kicking qualities.
Continuing on, the other thing we noticed was how unbelievably cheesy Thor was in this movie. He's a giant God from Asgard, you would think that he'd be super hard core.. but nope. His scraggly hair, however, distracts you from ..
...I told you. Enough of that. The only thing cool about 2012 Thor is his mjolnir. (Thanks to Robert, I now know what that is.) I am also wondering what happened to Thor's sweet, sweet helmet? Where is that lightening-bolt, wingéd cap? Maybe if he had it, hiding his rat nest, he might be a little more tolerable. OH. Also, to those of you who have seen this movie, can you answer me this: How does Thor even get to Earth? Super confused on that. Let that befuddle your mind, but if you have any idea of how he came to be, let me know.
Moving on. The next thing I want to touch on is HOW INCREDIBLY AWESOME HAWKEYE'S BOW AND QUIVER ARE. As a future archer, I was oggling over how insane he is. Bom bom bom! I want to be this cool when I grow up. He even shoots arrows that turn into weird USB ports (Jenessa and Robert.. you know what I'm talking about) and grappling hooks! His quiver, automatically sets the arrow and rotates it so he can grab them with easy access. All around, I'm a fan of Hawkeye. Even if he has angst at the beginning of the movie.
Lastly, my favourite character of the whole movie- Loki: God of Mischief. Tom Hiddleston is such a slink and he's perfect.
I read or heard somewhere that he originally auditioned for the part of Thor but they thought he'd be much better for the role of Loki. Oh man, I can't even imagine if Tom Hiddleston played Thor. I'm super happy he didn't, because The Avengers wouldn't have been nearly as perfect as it is with him as the villain. The dapper young fellow. Just from looking at those pictures, I know you want to go style your hair in a mullet-like fashion to match the likeness of Loki. Who wouldn't?
Well, in a really roundabout way of saying, if you have not seen The Avengers yet, you should go see it, just for T-Hiddles. I do what I want, Thor!
Jenessa and I are going to somehow dress up as Loki and Hawkeye and terrorize the mall. If you want in, claim your Avenger and assemble.
You don't choose the thug life, the thug life chooses you.
About a week ago.. or maybe even two, Spock, Robert and I took a little escapade up Hughes canyon. Ever heard of it? Yeah, neither have we. We set off to find ourselves some well earned geocaches but found a couple of rattle snakes instead. It was super tragic that we didn't find one cache, (when we set out for about five of them) but it was one cool hike up to one secret waterfall. And then we ate some tacos.
Battle scar. Battlescar Galactica.
There was this weird cave tunnel thing. And butts.
Spock butt.
Robert butt.
Butterflies kept attacking me that day.
Taco time.
This was one dapper rock. One all natural mustache.
Hey there friends. It's been awhile. There is much to say about the adventures I have had since my last post. I must recount the tale of the Provo City Half Marathon Relay that Spock and I ran. I took the first leg and had to be on the bus before the butt crack of dawn. Somehow I was stuck next to this gay guy who was all to comfortable with his legs and they were fully exposed. I may or may not have thrown up in my mouth a little bit upon seeing that the only free seat was next to this guy. Gag. Anyway, once I got up to the start, I had to wait about two hours before the race started. It. Was. Freezing. Anyway, once the race started I ran down the Bonneville Shoreline trail down Provo canyon. It was a pretty cool trail and the six miles wasn't that bad. But having hardly any sleep the night before and sitting in the cold for a million hours was really great before a run and I basically felt like ironically i had the bubonic plague. It didn't mix well with me and after an embarrassingly long time, i finally reached Spock and she KILLED it on the second leg! And that is basically how it all went down. Run 10k, eat creamy, take the sketchiest detour home. In a nutshell, that was our 5 May 2012. We are super lame and didn't get any pictures of ourselves down at the race and only took some once we got home. So here is me with my medal!
No worries, I will earn that full 13.1 in the near future. I'll keep you posted.
