Not much has been going on lately, so I don't really have anything to write about. I'm applying for jobs, but nothing so far. I've been reading The Brothers Karamazov and The Encyclopedia of the Universe and Everyday Math for Dummies. I've gotten hooked on an Irish TV show that aired in the 90s-Ballykissangel. I'm slowly getting caught up on my scrapbook for the last two years. That's about it.

It's official-I'm going to see U2 on June 3rd at the Rice-Eccles stadium. I'm excited! I thought this clip might be appropriate to the occasion.

There was an elder in my MTC district that has since become a well-known photographer-here is his website. He has an amazing visual eye. My favorite portfolios are the editorial, landscape and the personal. He has also been accepted into the AFI program and been there a year. On facebook he updated that one of his videos made it into the top ten on vimoes list of videos for last year. It is simple but lush and gorgeous. I would also check out the sunrise run video.

News flash:
U2 has just added Salt Lake City to the list of concerts. It will kick off the tour set of this year on Thursday, June 3rd. Now the dilemma. Do I go? Tickets on sale this Monday. I don't know why it is a dilemma-it should be quite obvious for me really, but I both do and don't want to go.
I thought they wouldn't play here because Rice-Eccles stadium doesn't hold enough people, but it turns out they are going to afterall.

I got the new Norah Jones CD for Christmas. I love it. It is quite different from her previous stuff. She has included some more guitar and synthesizer but does have a few quite jazzy ones reminiscent of her first album. Here is one of my favorites from the new album.



My favorite line is "I don't know nothin' 'bout leavin', but I know I should do it today."

I got my new computer power cord in the mail so I am back in business, baby.

I decided to post a few pictures from my trip to the Northwest.


Here I am in a beige jacket doing bumper cars with some nieces and nephews.

I went to a basketball game my eleven year old nephew was in.

Here was some of the beautiful Oregon scenery.

We played some black-light mini-golf.

Here is one of my nephews. I just had to post this one.
