Arrested Development.









Wow. This show is just so wonderful.

These clips might be a little more meaningful if you've seen the show.

Yes, Michael Ballam. Please give me a 23 page syllabus. And include this little number in it:

Oh, you already have? Great.

These have come as a surprise to me.

The DMV.

This morning I went on out to the DMV to renew my license. I must say, it's nice to have proof of it again. My other one has remained lost for I daresay one year. Which I didn't mind, because I looked like a pirate in that picture.

Guy Who Helped Me: "Have you previously had a Utah driver's license?"

Me: "Yes."

-pause-

Me: "But I don't have it."

Guy: "You don't?"

Me: "I don't." 

-pause-

Me: "It's gone. It's definitely gone."

* * *

Guy: "Okay, we'll need to conduct an eye test," (motions to small binocular-esque contraption at the desk) "so go ahead and put your forehead up against the white rectangle and look in."

Guy: "Go ahead and read line 'H' all the way across."

Me: "G,H,M,D. K,L,N,O." (or something.)

Guy: "Okay... you skipped a section. The first one."

Me: "...seriously?"

Guy: "Yeah."

Me: "There are letters there?!"

Guy: "Uh, yeah. Can you not see them?"

Me: "Oh. Right! No, yeah. Hah. Um. J. R. Uh. D. Z." (I saw no letters in the alleged first section. And needless to say, my left eye did not pass.)

* * *

Guy: "Okay, have a seat and we'll take your picture."

Me: "Okay."

Guy: "Ah! You'd better get up!"

Slightly alarmed, I did. And there was a huge spider descending to where I was.

Guy: "Gah! Hang on."

-moments later-

Guy: "Come on little guy. Come down a little more. No? Are we going to have to do this the hard way?" 

Then, dude pulled out a rubber band, took a step, pulled it back, and shot the thing. First try, too. 

Me: "Oh!"

* * *

So, yeah, I have a license again.

go devin

Moments ago, as I was eating frozen grapes and perusing the internet, Devin called me from SLC (he was at a Tantric concert) and told me to turn on channel 2 news. And there he was! Jumping around in the background. Yay!

Lake Powell and some birthday fun.


Last week was spent at the beautiful Lake Powell with Devin's family. It was a good time! They are all really funny and awesome. LP is definitely one of my favorite places on earth, and I was a little sad to go. At least I left with a souvenir: m&m's and fruit snacks lining my Fresca-eroded arteries. 

The pictures are about to get out of hand...

This picture doesn't do justice.

Devin and Brandon. Enough said.
We hang out sometimes.
Devin's secret life as a Baywatch lifegaurd manifested itself while we were getting gas.
Devin and his new friend StateFarm® woke me up from a nap.

Breaking Dawn: This pretty much sums up all things literary on the trip.
In time out at some indian ruins.
This is about a half-point at said indian ruins. The hike wasn't too strenuous, but coming down was a different story.


And yesterday I turned 21! I spent part of the day with my girls and nighttime with Devo. It was a great day!

I'm the worst traveler.

!Voy a la Lake Powell hoy con la familia de Devin! Why haven't I packed yet?

I rediscovered my love for this video:

I feel so Lost.


I have reached a new, first point in my life, and it feels strange and uncomfortable: I am current on all episodes of Lost. Now I'm just stuck! Until next year! It's so mean! And after I finished the season 4 finale I became That Girl for awhile and googled the show. This is what I found (*spoiler alert*):

Hey, Bergendi--

So... we've been meaning to let you know that we're ending the show after the sixth season. Yeah, just like that. Oh, and the reason season 4 went by so quickly for you was because it was about seven episodes shorter than the other seasons. Sorry about that, I know it really bugged you. (The next two seasons are going to be short like that, too.) But thanks for all your support, especially sitting through the same three commercials that play over and over and over when you watch it on abc.com.

And, yeah, we killed Locke, can you believe it? We aren't really even writing the show anymore, we're just kind of rubbing everybody out. Except Jack. We're just going to keep making his future-self uglier and more depressed to make you not want him anymore.

XOXO
JJ Abrams and the rest of the Lost gang



On a brighter note: Did anyone catch the men's 4x100m free relay last night? Because it was amazing.

AmazeMint...?

I bought this.

And so far, I like it.

I've had the same song in my head for almost one day.

For some time, I've been hearing about two bunnies that allegedly live in the bushes outside of ICON. However, I'd never seen them. Well, i think the brown one felt bad about this, because guess who was waiting for me in front of my car today...


































He was chewing on some lawn, and didn't totally love it when I got close. I did manage to get this portrait, despite his aversion to paparazzi.


How wrong would it be to pirate this?

(Answer: 
Very. 


Kind of.


No. Yes. Very.)

Will the real C.H.S. please stand up?

This weekend my family went to Crystal Hot Springs. I'll tell you this: viewing their website now, I can say that it is enticing and misleading. I'm under the impression that little has been done to maintain this "natural wonder." (Their words.) Which is really too bad, because I think it actually could be really cool. Hey guys, how about starting out with extracting the flesh-eating bacteria that has infiltrated, well, everything?

Sometimes Ozzy does this when you talk to him.

















So does Devin.

















Brody, looking like a homeless person.
