Rants. Raves. T-shirts. All observations on the peculiarity of Provo life.

Auteur

A couple months ago I left a review on my personal blog for the movie Happy Valley. Maybe you've seen it, maybe you've never heard of it. It's about illicit drug use in Utah Valley. My opinion was that it was an awful film. Really, really pitiful in a lot of ways. It didn't leave me with any affection for the film-maker, either.

I wrote the review and quickly forgot about it. Then, a couple days ago, a thread of comments began to form that turned into one of the most interesting conversations I've had on this blog. Mind you, not because of the content, but because of the participants.

You just have to read this to believe it. Look at the review of Happy Valley (the last third of my post), then look at the subsequent comments. Unbelievable.

Just to wet your interest, I think Jessica Biel may be reading my blog. Probably not, but the possibility is endlessly funny.

Under New Management


Looks like the owners of Liberty Square have learned the hard way that at the end of the semester, they should rent an extra large dumpster. The one they had was filled, overflowed, emptied, and now the overflow is left. Good Luck, Lib Square.

Summer Rain

Looking through old pictures, I found this one of my dear, talented and lovely friend Meredith. Made me smile. Summer rain in Austin Texas. Wish I could have been there.

Good luck with finals everybody. I could go on a lengthy diatribe expounding the worthlessness of finals and our current factory-line style of formal educational, but I'll save the mad ranting for another time. For now, I simply wish you good luck.

Rex Lee Run




I know this is old news, but thought I'd put it out there anyway. I ran the Rex Lee Run. It was a good thing for all involved, I just hope next year I'm in a little more prepared. Thousands of people, a party(ish) atmosphere, lots of fun. Well, it was fun till about the second mile of the 5K. Then I wasn't having any more fun.

The things we do in the name of health/charity/community/pick your cause.
