I have a test on these tonight. Sounds easy enough right?! WRONG. I also have to know all of the attachments, the Cranial Nerve that controls each, and ALL of the actions that the muscles perform. This is the first batch of 110 that I will be learning in the next 8 weeks. ONE HUNDRED AND TEN!!! Yikes. Seriously, fucking, yikes.

On another note, I had a rockin weekend! On saturday I worked, THEN I did THREE batches of laundry, washed my car, went grocery shopping, cleaned my apartment, did my dishes, bathed myself, and had an awesome date at the totally awesome Desert Edge. mmmmmm....

(A day of productivity brought to you by Aderol)

On Sunday, Jefe had his annual DOME BBQ... where the crew from way back in the day get together to reminisce. It was an awesomely good time.
The day ended with a hookah session and the new show "Life" on the discovery channel. (
or is it the travel channel?)

PLUS Ariele is here visiting!!! SO I got to see her pretty face!
In fact, we're going to have a sleep over tonight!! YAY!!!

All in All, a very VERY great weekend.
Now, back to studying my muscles......

Oh and when searching for pictures of muscles, I came across this picture... and totally threw up all over my desk. Please dear god, tell me this isn't real.

Sickest. body. ever. EVER.
*BARF*

Places I would rather be today...

And the list goes on and on....

I need a vacation.

Best Music Video...EVER

ALSO, I just found out that OK Go is coming to Salt Lake April 13th! And I so totally just bought tickets!! These guys are freakin awesome, and it's totally worth missing a night of school to see them! So stoked!!!

A few movies to mention

The Invention of Lying
I just want to share with everyone that this movie, is one of the funniest movies I've seen in quite a while! So clever, so original, and so immensely entertaining to watch.
Ricky Gervais is a comical genius!!
A world where people can't lie... wow, what a concept.
SEE IT!

500 Days of Summer

This movie was just as I expected it to be. Very cute, and very real. The relationship they portray is so relate-able, at least for most people. The heartbreak is also very relate-able (again for most) and actually pretty tangible. I loved the storyline and especially the ending.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
(Plus, it has Zooey Deschanel... who I am totally smitten by... so that was a bonus)

Death at a Funeral

Now I bring this movie up because most people haven't seen it, or even heard of it... which is just sad. This movie in its original form (from 2007) is totally and completely HYSTERICAL!!! I actually own it...and I don't own a ton of movie. It is laugh-out-loud comical!

The reason I'm really writing about this movie, is that I recently found out that they have already made a re-make of it that will be coming out next month. Why fix something when it ain't broke?!? I think this is so ridiculous. I guess they thought it needed more black people..??
!!NO OFFENSE!!!
I just really don't understand why they would re-make a film only three years after it's release. ???

Here's the new one:

This is a paragraph I copied from IMDB in reference to the new version of this film:

"This movie is a remake of a 2007 movie of the same name, Death at a Funeral (2007). Although Hollywood has a history of making American versions of foreign films, the original versions are usually in a language other than English. This is not the case here, however, since the original film was a British production and filmed in English, with an American director (who was, as it happens, born in England) and several American actors (including Peter Dinklage, who repeats his role in the remake). This is a very unusual case of a remake being made very quickly of an English-language movie that had a theatrical release in the US (albeit not a very successful one)."

I plan to see the new one of course... To see how it compares to the old one.
I'm sure it will be funny because the script is wonderful, and they got a very good cast for it.


That's all for now.

Jogging Update

So about 30 seconds (yeah SECONDS) into my jog...(that I randomly decided to take today) I got a wrenching side ache. Ouch. I am super-duper out of shape. I lasted only about 15 minutes. Wow. I'm a hot mess. :(

BUT I also have two funny stories:

Story #1: As I was (barely) jogging passed this house, I notice a bare footed kid standing in the driveway. He has a big shit-eating grin on his face as he watches me get closer. As I approach, he then holds both of his arms up in the air and shouts, "LOOK I'm smoking!"
The kid is holding the butt of a cigarette that apparently someone (his mom I bet) has discarded but not stomped out. The mom (i presume) who was chatting with some other lady on the porch, jumps and and screams, "OSCAR NO!!! OH MY GOD!!!" She's wearing 6 inch heels and starts chasing (wobling) after the kid, who naturally starts running away. Her heel breaks and she almost eats pavement. I started jogging after the kid too, I lightly grab his arm and pull him to a stop. He drops the cig and the mom limps up and stomps it out. She proceeds to apologize to me, and I can not hold back the laughter.
Some people.

Story #2: I get back into my apartment just as the side ache starts to desist. I notice a new note on the board from the apartment manager. It reads, "Dear tenants; Please be considerate when lighting incense in your apartment. Please keep a window open when doing so, so that it doesn't drift up into other people's apartments and make them sick. Thank you."

HA HA F*CKING HA HA!! Ooooops. My bad.

Today rocks.

Slumber Party!

Last night,
I had a good ole fashioned sleepover with my new favorite girlie Zrinka.

It was a BLAST!!! We drank Vodka and cranberry juice, and shared stories. All night long. (well until two or so) We watched videos on youtube and sang to Ingrid Michaelson and Lilly Allen. We talked about life, love, loss, girlfriends, boyfriends, and even boogers. Later, we climbed in bed and shared ghost stories. It was a smashing good time! The only thing that was missing was a board game, like Dream Phone. Next time. I haven't done anything like that in a long time. And it was EXACTLY what I needed. :)



We even saged my apartment. In retrospect, we were probably too drunk to be handling fire...we lit the sage too much and couldn't get it to go out...for a long time. My entire apartment is loaded with the smell of sage. (Not that that's necessarily a bad thing) I even just opened up my closet door and was punched in the face by the overwhelming scent that came bellowing out. My apartment must be damn cleansed.

Today she is going to take me shopping! And thank god too... I need some SERIOUS help in the wardrobe department. This girl ain't got NO style. And Zrinka is all style. I feel so good right now I think I might even go for a jog! ...I know right?! Me?! Jogging?! Yup. I'm gonna go right now.

Hiccups/Yawns

I can't remember the last time I had the hiccups. I currently have the hiccups. In between hiccuping, I yawned. These are two unexplainable acts of the human body. Currently, they still don't know why we do either of these things. The theory behind it is that your body feels it needs more oxygen, so it is grasping for it in quick large gulps. You'd think after everything we know about the human body, they would know why these things happen. They don't.

[May I also add that yawning truly is contagious. As I was looking up this picture... just looking at PICTURES of yawning, made me want to yawn. So strange.]

Clearly, I'm not breathing deep enough today. I dislike the hiccups tremendously. They are totally obnoxious to me. But at least it's not the drunken hiccups... cause those NEVER end. At least with regular hiccups I can drink water upside down. It works every time. I swear to you! At least it works for me. I know everyone has their own theories/solutions. (One time, someone told me to hop on one foot, while spinning in a circle, and spraying ketchup in my mouth... that that would get rid of them- I told them to eff off. Ketchup? come on. please.)

Wanna know another thing about the human body that we don't fully understand? Muscle contraction. We only have a THEORY about what happens. They know that calcium and ACH are definitely involved, but everything else is just a hypothesis. Wanna watch a cool video that explains it? Well you probably don't... but I'll include the site just in case:
http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/matthews/myosin.html
(I have a test on this on Monday)

I'm also currently learning about all the body's "endangerment sites," and boy do we have a ton. We are learning all the ways we can royally eff someone up if we do something wrong while massaging them. I have to admit... it's quite intimating. My teacher said he had a student working on him in class one time and the student pushed too hard on his popliteal (behind the knee) and BROKE HIS KNEE!!!! AHHHH!!! Can you imagine?! That would be SO scary. I would ball my eyes out if I did ANYTHING that hurt the person I was working on! Also, makes me kinda scared to realize that I have had, and will have, students working on me!! Eek.

Anyways, just felt like droppin some knowledge on y'all.

Happy Sunny Saturday!

I have the giggles

I'm pretty sleep deprived today, and I'm also pretty sure I still had alcohol in my system when I got to work. The outcome? I've had the giggles all day long.

Here's a list of things that made me smile/laugh today:

"Where's your smile today, Brandon?"
"In my pocket."

"Mr. GurgleTummy"

"I should have written a note and taped it to your forehead....

And the note would say, 'GOO-LAY!' "

"The color orange makes me thirsty."

"The strawberries taste like strawberries!"

www.taffytown.com

"Do you think taffy town has rides?"

"rides you can eat!"

"Screw you guys! I'm gonna go grab all the stuffed animals and have tea party!"


And finally, my new office assistant:

I seriously crack myself up. :P

Laugh Out Loud!!

New Apt.

Here I am sitting in my new apartment, looking around and thinking about how much I LOVE this apartment. It's one of my favorites that I've had. And I realized that a lot of people haven't come to see it yet. So I decided to post some pics for you.

Here's the OLD apartment:
(the one in the back of the building)

And here's the NEW one:
(in the front of the building)

I realize now, looking at these pictures... that they look pretty damn similar. But I tell ya, it's amazing what a difference natural sunlight makes. PLUS this one has the tiny porch. There's still work to be done... Pictures to put up, etc. But I think it's a very cozy place!
Heart. :)
