So here are some pictures of what I did during January. I always have to wait until I can get them off of my phone so they are a little mixed up.
This is outside of the Dentist office I worked at. The ice effect on the tree is amazing. It doesn't show well on the picture.
This is in Syracuse. I love Utah sunsets and sunrises
I got to go to the BYU-San Diego State Game. It was AMAZING! The atmosphere was great and I yelled my lungs out. I almost became a real cougar fan!
My latest fortune says : "Soon you will receive pleasant news". Yay!
Yesterday a bunch of my friends from Logan came down to see me and we ended up going to Antelope Island, Costa Vida and rocked out to Beatles Rock band. It was so nice to see them and to spend time. Here are some pictures we took with Rebecca's cool camera.
Alright, soooooo! Everyone fortunate enough to watch Disney channel with wee ones will be familiar with one of their favorite commercials. Yes, of course I am talking about the infamous potty dance commercials. I don't know why, BUT it cracks me up (no punn intended!)every time and I guess it's the latest fad along with pillow pets. As I was babysitting Becca and Brandon, just the other day, we ended up dancing and singing along. Choreography/ Vocal by Becca, Drums/Vocals Brandon, me (well, amidst hearty laughter) Guitar/Vocal. If I babysit them again, I'll try and see if they want to record it. It was just too hilarious not to.
What??? You've never heard of the potty dance? Well, let me enlighten you! Be at ease, this is not general education for an average American Citizen! Alas, it can't hurt. So here we go.
Dumb? Childish? Yeah, perhaps... But that's kind of the point! Roger, over and out.
Who can resist such classic charm as found in Happiest Millionaire; Meet me in St. Louis, Sound of Music or Seven Brides for Seven Brothers….
Admittedly most movies during that time are incredibly cheesy and truly over dramatic but I just love them! Why are they so appealing? I think they make us connect with a more romanticized time full of song, grace and happy cheerfulness. They offer an escape of reality and enable us to dream! Acting is so much more accentuated and over done but it is expected and never fails to amuse. Think of Walter Matthau and Michael Crawford in Hello Dolly, Burl Ives in Summer Magic, Peter Seller in Pink Panther or Jack Lemmon in the Odd Couple, Audrey Hepburn in My fair lady, Frank Sinatra in Guys and Dolls, Cary Grant in An Affair to Remember, Jerry Lewis in Cinderfella or Doris Day in Calamity Jane.
The best part that never fails to make me laugh or crack a smile is when people start singing in the most ridiculous moments. It is one of my ambitions to do just that one day, maybe on an awkward date or something, I will burst out into “The ugly bug ball” or “Just you wait Henry Higgins”. There is a plethora or fitting songs for every possible situation.
A recurring theme seems to be when girls become of age and someone tells them to know how to attract the handsome young men they are madly in love with (or vise versa). I remember watching these movies as teenager with my family. Robby and I usually ended up laughing our heads of. Here are some of the best examples. Enjoy!
