Off The Record, Vol. 1

(Januaryy 2005)

Anybody out there try out the Texas Roadhouse Restauarant yet, besides myself? I went there twice during Christmas break, the second time just to have their ribs. I'm not a ribs person, at all, but sweet mercy you just can't get enough of those at that place.

So this morning I buy tickets to go see Coldplay at the MGM Arena in Las Vegas on February 3rd, and I'm really excited. Then four hours later I go to Men's Chorus, only to find out that we have a concert that night. If I don't go to the Men's Chorus concert, I automatically fail. Ironic, isn't it? Just my luck, too. [high five!] So Vegas is almost blown, but I'm going to see if I could pull any strings here..

I went running in California during Christmas break, and was surprised at how warm it was. Went running tonight for my first time this semester, in Provo, and after an hour I was surprised that even though it was freezing cold outside, my arms weren't cold. Then I felt them- yeah, they were completely numb. Don't try that at home, kids.

My friends just got this brand new Hot Chocolate machine, just for making hot chocolate. It's how I always imagined the hot chocolate from that "Chocolat" movie to be, or even that river in "Willy Wonka"- just perfect.

Saw the "Corspse Bride" last Saturday. Everything is better than "Nightmare Before Christmas," except for the music (and that one part in Nightmare when the kid pulls a head out of the gift box... priceless!).

Anybody else think King Kong and Chronicles of Narnia are two of the best pictures of last year? No? Just me? Okay then...

I played Dance Dance Revolution for the first time in five years on New Year's Eve. Last time was in Innoventions at Disneyland, when I was a senior. That thing is addicting.

I think I offended somebody today, completely by accident. But that's nothing new. After so many times, it's hard to care that much.

I just signed up for a dance class at school. I wanted to take at least 15 credits, and had 14.5- all of which are business classes, so I feel justified in taking something out of my comfort zone. Just to branch out, I guess. I always have had this vision of taking my wife dancing every so often when we're married, and actually knowing what we're doing. I remember whenever I went to Disneyland, in the little pavillion next to the castle, they'd have a live swing band at nights, and all these different couples would come to dance- old, young, gangster- and I always thought that was cool. I guess that's when the idea first popped into my head.

Anyways... back to homework now.
