Adam called me this morning and said he wanted to do something. We tried to figure out a way to take the canoe and go play around on a lake somewhere, but unfortunately the canoe was locked to the fence and no one seemed to know where the key was. Adam, Kadison (my dog,) and I ended up just going to Waterfall Canyon in Ogden and hiking that. It was a pretty short hike, but since I am so out of shape it felt like we were going straight up the majority of the time. Kadison, who in dog years must be at least 150 by now, seemed to handle it better than I did. I took a lot of cools pics of flowers on the mountainside, the waterfall, and random other things. We came back down and headed for home after Adam climbed around for a while and I took some more pictures. I came home and showered and then headed down to Sloanie's house in Sandy to make some superhud. It was awesome to make superhud with someone else who actually knew how to make it and knew what it was supposed to taste like. Talking about Korea with Sloanie just made me all the more excited to go this Thursday and made me even more dedicated to take a ton of pictures. Then we watched "The Matrix," to prime us for this Wednesday's big opening. If it amazes me like the first one, it might just be worth going to hell over.
At a closer examination of my life on a daily basis, the consensus we (the royal we consisting of me, myself, and I) have determined my life is pretty uneventful. Today was not out of the ordinary based on that determination. It was Mother's Day, however, so a big "Happy Mother's Day," to you mom. I slept late and missed church that I had planned on attending with Jared and Adam. I ate dinner with my mom and sister and then watched "Life is Beautiful." Kyle's dad sent me some more pics from their trip in Europe. I posted one of Kyle standing next to a car that I am sure would cost more than my house here and probably less than a Kia in Germany. Luckily poverty and reality prevent me from dreaming of owning a car such as this. It's just some eye candy to lust after and fantasize about. If I think about it hard enough I can almost feel the wind in my hair as I race around on the Autoban and forget that I am in Layton, driving a Mazda that can't get above 75 unless we're going downhill. Here's to imagination and the many ways it helps us from becoming chronically depressed!
I was getting pretty worried that with going to Korea for a month I would be missing "The Matrix Reloaded." On Friday I finally found that about half the theaters in Utah are doing an advanced screening the night before. I rushed out and bought 5 tickets. I am so excited to see it now, I can't hardly stand it anymore. I am constantly pulling the tickets out of my wallet just to look at 'em. We played a little monopoly yesterday at Jeff's and I think it was the first time I have ever won and completely finished a game of it. Jared, Jeff, and I stayed up a large portion of the night talking. Jeff punked out at 4:30 but Jared and I kept talking until long after the rooster crowed. We woke up about 4 or 5 hours later at noon and rushed home to get some stuff done. I went to Provo with Andy and Will today again to have some Korean food. I am becoming addicted to that place. I wish it was closer than it is, because driving to and from Provo takes like a 3 hour block out of the day. Luckily I was able to take a nap this time because it wasn't me driving. We then got together at Jeff's house and watched "The Road to Perdition." I had seen it before because I had downloaded it off of kazaa, but there is a lot to be said for watching a movie on a real tv with surround sound. Somehow it puts the computer to shame.
I slacked off again. I was enjoying the lack of school and responibility. I spent it wisely, eating, napping, playing basketball, and video games. Wednesday I studied for my last final and went and lifted weights with Jared. We watched the Spurs kill the Lakers and then played NBA Live 2003 until way late. It made me a little drowsy for my last final, but who really cares anyway since it is the last one. Heff and I rode up together and then came back. We went to Sam's club to look for Mother's Day presents, but I was at a loss of what to get my mother (if you're reading this, it's a hint for a hint to tell me what you want.) We then went back to Morgan's and sat and talked and chilled for a little bit then I went and ate lunch with Greg, although I was the only one who ate anything. After that I respected the customary siesta with a 2 hour nap. Then we went to Jeff's house and had dinner and cake to celebrate his sister, Emily's birthday. She turned 18 today... a day that marks the beginning of the end, since we all know the end comes somewhere around 30. Her dad has the same camera as Sloanie and was kind enough to take some pics, which I had him forward to me for posterity's sake. Jared, after beating around the bush for 10 years finally proposed marriage to me. When we were taking the engagement photo however, we got in a tiff about whether or not I should show the ring and it's now over between us. The news on the day is not all disheartening however, since Jeff found some crazy chick who was willing to put her chin on his shoulder. That's a lot of action for anyone to be gettin' and my hat's off to you Jeff. We then went to the church to play some more ball from like 9 until 11:30. It was pretty tiring. My team went on a tear winning the first four games, but I closed off the night with two losses and absolutely no energy to do anything but shower and sleep, but somehow I still found time for this.
