Daily Update

Friday after work we were planning to make pies for the Pioneer event tomorrow. In advertising the gathering, EmWin and the Renee 'the Liberal Cannonball' Labor decided to change the venue on us and to all go to 'the Counter' to eat glorious hamburgers instead. Well not in place of, but just before our pie bake off. The food was good. Much to big for any one human to eat normally. I had to dislodge my jaw, like a snake, in order to fit the whole burger in my mouth. I think Renee got a picture of it. In addition we also got three large bowls of fried starch and carbohydrates (potato, onion, sweet-potato) to eat before the main food arrived. Burgers were good. The company was better. We stayed late.

Pie baking was spectacular! Kristen and I teamed up to make the recipe that my mom sent me, and Jeff and Trisha were teaming up to make the rendition of some cook cook
pie (boring). Our team did well, we were much faster (and better) than the others. Jeff realized this so to gain favor he pulled some 30 pound bar of chocolate and flaunted it around the girls (who all fell under its spell and couldn't stop asking
for more chocolate pieces). It didn't fool me though. KA, with the help of me(a little bit), made the best 2 pies that kitchens around the world could offer. Seeing the two pies that we made came out of the oven was almost better than waking up on Christmas morning at the parents house. We stayed up really late. Originally I was going to buy the ingredients so that KA could make it:), but when the time came, I just couldn't stand by and watch history be made. It was like standing right behind Einstein and watching him write E=mc2 on paper for the first time. Yes, that pivotal.

Saturday morning came at 11am. It was still way to early it seems like. I had left all my food over at Jeff's place, and he wasn't home, so I couldn't even make pancakes for myself. I know this cause I went over there to check at 2pm. I was angry. So I decided to 'fight the battle of my life' for a few hours before the Picnic. I defending the poor people of Nar Shaddah, one of the planets on the 'Outer Rim', while collecting info that will help me bring the evil smugglers down who are thus being supported by the Sith.

Around 4 I reluctantly chose to run over to Floyd's barber shop. I was still scared from being molested the last time I was there by a gay dude, and that is the only haircuttery that I know of in the area. I surprisingly didn't have to wait more than 60 seconds. I was surprised enough to hear of a 10 min. wait on a saturday afternoon. Some crazy Russian lady stalked me from out of the woodwork as I arrived. It went well though. (Better than last time.) By the end she talked me into buying some fancy shampoo crap, which turned out to be expensive, but it tingles your head just like an Altoid would refresh your mouth. I didn't think hair care products could be so fascinating.

So at 5 I went over to Veteran to discuss later events with the guys. We made a game plan for movie night at Allana's (started making ice cream), then went to the Pioneer day event. Right after we got there it got cloudy and the sun went to bed. they had ok food there. The biggest load of crap of the night was that the home-made pie baking contest was RIGGED! 'Innocent little old ladies' my eye! I think all of the winners were from one family in one ward, with another member of that family doing the judging, obviously. Cheaters! On Sunday I officially complained to two different people about the ridiculousness of it all, as well as besmirching the winners names.

After we met at Selby to watch Borne Identity, in preparation of the Ultimatum
coming out in two weeks. We also made ice cream (rocky road) and 'DSM-4'(aka Allana) made brownies. The ice cream took way to long. Although I sampled it (plentifully... and man was it GOOD), josh made us put it in the freezer, where it didn't set up. It was really hot in her apartment, but I stayed late hanging out with the chicks there.

Early morning church meetings come way to early these days. they usually start around 11am. Sure I made it on time, but their meetings NEVER end on time. usually 10-20 minutes late, jabbering about stuff. I was the funny guy and I kept having people knock on the bishop's door every few minutes to see if they were done yet.
Afterwords, we had dinner and hung out at Greenfield. Lots of people came over to see Renee. She staying over there. It was super-fun cause Jeremy brought over two of his Wii controllers so we could play tennis, 4 at a time, and a bunch of other cool games too. In game one I was learning, in game two we kicked everyone's trash, and in game three my arm was tired. so I gave up by then. It rolled late into the
night. I took lots of amazing pictures with Sara's camera. as the night wound down I was giving up and started falling asleep, or tried to but was so rudely awaken by Miss Renee attaching electric shocks to my kidney's and surging an uncomfortable jolt into my ribcage. I was mad, but was to sleepy to retaliate. (I'll get her next time!) It also hurt to open my eyes.

I'm listening to Pennywise right now.

Lunch was sponsored by Baja Fresh. It was way to much for me.
