Videogame veggies

I was at my in-laws yesterday for Ross's birthday(Ryan's brother) and Ryan and Ross were playing Ross's new video game. I was watching and realized not for the first time how much Ross looks like Ryan. In fact, the first time I met Ross, I thought of him as just a mini Ryan.

I love watching them play because they have the same expressions and intensity.
This one was my favorite. They both had their mouths hanging open and they get so into it.

Pearls Before Swine

I liked this comic. Sorry it is so small.

My new want

Sony - Cyber-shot 10.1-Megapixel Digital Camera

Model: DSCT700/N

Isn't it beautiful? I need a camera, and I saw this one in Best Buy. It is all touch screen, great picture, and it is only about a 1/4 inch thick! However, I will definitely have to save up since it is over $300.

Goo Balls

You are right! A Liripoop is a smart trick or stratagem. There is another definition of the word which I love. A liripoop is also a silly person!
Ryan downloaded a new game for the Wii called World of Goo. Anyone heard of it? The game is really cool, especially if you like a challenge. You have build the goo balls to get to certain spots but physics is in play and so you have to build without it falling! The music is cool, the graphics a bit weird, and it was created by only two guys (there was a third for part of it).

Random

Does anyone else find it ironic that eyelashes get in your eyes, when they are the very things there to stop things getting in your eyes?
Is anyone excited about November 4th?
Today's post is a mixture of my thoughts this week. I don't have pictures so I have to make up something. Although, I should have had Halloween pictures but I forgot to take some. Ryan and I went to a party at an old coworkers house. Ryan was a karate guy, and I was a french runway model. You will have to use your imagination.
Church was pretty good today. I have been trying to thing about Christ more during the sacrament and today I finally did. I was thinking about the basics, what it represents and so forth, and as I was thinking about why Christ died for us (because he loves us) I also thought, he did it so we could be happy. I think too many times we are unhappy with our life or situation, but I have found you can find joy in anything and I would much rather live that way than to be miserable in my complaints. I also thought about this subject the past two weeks as I have been reading the story of Nephi and Laman and Lemuel. Man, Nephi was an amazing guy, huh? I knew it before, but I never really KNEW it. And, Laman and Lemuel make me want to scream. Can you be any dumber? I found a common theme however, with the bad people, they are the murmurers. They are the ones who even though they repent, they soon find some part of their situation to complain about, and fall away again. And the common theme with the good people, is they have really hard trials, but they are always praising God and giving thanks. When I read this story, it literally scared me out of my complaints because I finally realized exactly where they were leading me. To failure. I don't want to be a Laman and Lemuel.
Thanks for listening folks.

haircut

I don't know what it is about pictures, but they always look so much different than things really are. Anyway, this is my new haircut that looks better in real life(I hope). The first picture is my attempt at making a model face like they have in the hair magazines. I love having short hair! My long hair was just in the way all the time, and short hair is so freeing.

Job

It is about time I updated my blog. I just have been so busy getting used to my new schedule and Ryan uses the computer for homework so I don't get to use it much :)
I know most of you know already, but I got a new job. I work in the Interlibrary Services department at the USU library. It is a great job for me, and it has a few nice perks. Take for instance, the fact that I now have access to a very large faculty/staff lunchroom that has a kitchen so I don't have to each sandwiches for lunch everyday anymore!!!!! I get to wear my wedding ring now, which I couldn't before at the UPS store because I kept catching the prongs on things and almost loosing my diamond. Also, I get to wear real clothes again! It is like I got my personality back or something. I no longer have to wear a uniform. I also get to eat lunch with Ryan M,W,F, and we carpool each day. I have access to a gym. Ryan gets half tuition next semester. I don't have to stand all day. I don't have to deal with customers, especially the grumpy ones. I love the campus atmosphere and it is fun to be around it again. Our insurance is better and WAY cheaper. Besides these added benefits, I like the job, I like the people, and all in all, it is a much better suited job for me.
