Cereal

24 Boxes for $40.17. Donate plasma once (okay, more like one and a half times) and be set for the rest of the semester... hopefully.

The Weekend

I figure I should at least mention this before it gets too far away. Last Thursday (the 15th) I got a call from Sara saying "We're planning a road trip to California, we're leaving tomorrow at 4:00 if you want to come." I said I'd think about it, thirty seconds later I thought "What is there to think about?"

We slept at Sara's Aunt's house in Riverside and spent all day Saturday at the beach. Sunday at church and at the park. We got up at 4:30 on Monday to get back to the beach for the sunrise. Did some body surfing (and some sleeping) then headed back home at around noon.

Total cost for the spontaneous road trip over the three day weekend: $26. Well worth it.

Broken Speakers

For the past 2 weeks or so the speakers that we plug our MP3 players in at Jamba Juice have been broken. That just leaves us with the radio/CD player. Nobody thinks to bring in CD's of their own which means that for the past two weeks the blenders have been attempting to drown out the sounds of Guster, Better Than Ezra and Collective Soul, but no avail.

I Love Kang

Kang likes things to be clean. One of the reasons that I made the bundt cake was because Kang had deep clened the kitchen so I took advantage of that I made a cake to celebrate (I cleaned everything up afterwards, don't worry). That cleanliness has spread. This morning Casey decided that a major part of our apartment messiness was his rather large HDTV so today he packed it up and took it home. Casey, Mike, Kang and my self have been cleaning and rearranging for the past 3 or 4 hours., the place looks amazing and when Tucker wakes up he won't even recognize the place.

Chocolate Bundt Cake

I used my spring-bundt-form pan last night for the first time to make a chocolate bundt cake. I didn't wait long enough for it to cool before trying to flip it so it lost its neat looking top, all of the chocolate chips inside were exposed. Don't worry, I covered them with a chocolate glaze.

(Yet Another) New Roommate

Piece out with the sushi bro'

So Jun moved out before Christmas to have his contract sold before moving back to Korea in February. He's moved into Orem on a month by month rent. The new kid is from Korea as well, his name is Kang (pronounced Khan as in The Wrath of). Jun still comes to our ward so he doesn't have to switch wards for two months. Afterwords he came back to our apartment to make us some awesome sushi.

Kang and Mike rockin' the goatee

It was delicious and nutirious. As not only was there that plate piled high but there was another one too. So good, so good.

Candy Trains

I'm a little late in posting these pictures but it's better than never.

Mine a Laura's. The pile of licorice is Devils Snare from Harry Potter.

Holli flew solo on this one, she couldn't make anything work so it all ended with a explosion going off.

A team of four (Kevin, Sara, Megan and Laura) were sent to the kiddie table and they came up with this work of art. I think the use of pyrotechnics should disqualify them for the running.

It's took bad I didn't get a picture of Carson's. She used some brown sugar to create a nice desert feel to hers.

Weekend of Sports

So the Crimson Tide lost to the Utes, I'm not that upset about it. I had a bunch of friends down for the game and Brent and Amber were so kind as to cook us all a bunch of Japanese food and let us wtach the game there. Ryan and Jeff were the Utah fans, Rob and I were for Alabama and Eric played the neutral party. The Utes came to play and they won the game and about halfway throught the thrid quarter (still with plenty of time for Alabama to come back and win the game) I came to the concluision that I wouldn't mind at all if Utah won, and they did so it's all good.

You wanna mess wit' us?

Saturday was the big BYU men's basketball game against #6 Wake Forest. The Real Salt Lake game was intense but I think this one beat it. I've never been so worked up in my life. The lead changed almost a dozen times, there were contriversial calls, stuff was thrown on the court, BYU's coach took the mic and told us all to clam down, it was nuts. The final score doesn't reflect how close the game was, Wake Forest pulled away in the last minute because of fouls and whatnot. So crazy, so crazy.
