film kids and a spontaneous night

This last weekend was a grand old time. We were going planning on creating a cine-poem (copyright Morgan Asdel 2011) with a group of four, but then two couldn't make it, so J and I ran out and took pics anywhere and everywhere and tested the beautiful 50mm lens! Woohoo! Well, it was really just me taking pics of J and making him do stuff. Good times.

LOVE the wash hut!

Then we met up with some other film kids to hang out and waste away the night! Things got kind of weird - like this sketchy hand up the cardigan! Poor E!

Then G pretended he was a gangster. That could never be because the first time he did the sign he spelled it backwards.

Then we hit up Sammy's for some food. Sammy's has the best burgers and is in a little place where my dad said they would go and hang out while he was at BYU. It was a burger joint back then too! Sammy's also has some pie shakes. They blend in a whole piece of pie with some ice cream. Pie shake = heaven.

Making some shakes!

And then we found out that K can really do the four finger spread. I don't konw what it's really called, but she concentrated hard and did it! So proud and a picture to prove it!


All in all a fun, random night. Film friends are the best friends.

ode to shoes

These are my shoes. I love them. Best $5 purchase ever and cheapest buy ever at Urban Outfitters. Besides the sweet sale price, what makes these babies special? They have a faint smell of nasty rubber. I wore them over the weekend with a skirt and tights and they made the outfit. In summer you can bet I'll be wearing these every day. I will buy my clothes to match my shoes. And now a haiku, created in 30 seconds:

My Dear Funky Shoes
Oh I should have bought two pairs
You bring sunshine here

biz-ness trip

I am headed on a business trip this weekend. A fun, fast business trip. We're headed here :

I'm so excited to get out of Provo even if it means I'll be driving for 24 hours within a period of 3 days. Saturday we've got a sound check early in the AM we'll have to shoot. Then hang out in San Fran for the day and shoot the show that night. Maybe we'll grab breakfast Sunday and then head back. It's business but not though because I like traveling, I like music shows, and I like filming.
I'm also excited because someone fun is meeting us out there and then driving back to Utah with us.
Should be a BLAST!

tune in

my old roommate showed me this musical couple. they have some funny, cute songs that maybe i would like even more if i was married, but i'm still a fan when i'm in the mood for some fun love songs - check out Tyrone & Elina


also, i may be behind the curve, but i love The Tallest Man on Earth - there's something about his voice and the melodies that i love. there's something about his tunes that feel earthy and beautifully rough. i've found his voice is the deciding factor, either loved or hated, so good luck and have a listen.

girls night!

first off - the reason the candy shoppe is called the candy shoppe (my roommate's) and it only takes real pennies - that's how we pay rent :)


SO...i had a fun girls night with a few married/one engaged friend. the husbands were both out of town and the fiance was studying, so they called for a girls night. i ran and met them for dinner and then we went back to C's apartment and made some awesome s'more cookies while we watched Say Anything, the best 80's chick flick ever made! It was a blast and they are my favorite people to hang out with!
Here's the gist of how it went:
start with a quarter graham cracker s'more, the marshmallow is cut in half

then you start putting cookie dough all around it.

progress of putting cookie dough around it. we used one tube for only 4 cookies!

when you put them in the cookie dough they look like potatoes

drank some of this while we were waiting - delicious raspberry lemonade. tastes like summer

toasty golden brown and ready to come out

callie and jessie - boo to the blur

miranda and her cookie

By the end of the movie at 11:30 we called it a night. i'm loving early nights more and more - i don't know how i survived freshman year or thought that it was fun to stay up late. i'm pooped by 10 these days, but i kinda like it
