Hard Times

Did you guys know that there is a restaurant in the Utah State Prison? It's true, it's called the Hard Times Cafe and it is open to the public. The prisoners have undergone culinary arts training through prison education programs so they do all the cooking. A girl I know was telling me about it and she says that the food is delish. Really fresh stuff, great quality, and just all around good. She even got one of the baker's to give her his original oatmeal cookie recipe. Also, the food is really cheap. They only charge enough to sustain the restaurant. I want to go. Anyone want to join me?

simple things

Today I am grateful for all of the simple things in life. Like...freshly washed sheets, homemade nachos, John Mayer, a clean room, a brand new book and crazy people like this that I can find amusement in:

Mornings

I don't really do mornings. I mean I do, in the sense that I wake up early, but I don't do them well. I spend the first ten minutes of every morning thinking about the next time I'll be able to go to sleep. When I was in high school, I had a really hard time waking up to my alarm clock. I just wouldn't hear it. It would go off for about an hour each morning and I would sleep right through. So, basically each morning, my mom would come in and wake me up with a nice cheery "Good morning sunshine! Time to get up!" and every morning I hated it and would yell at her on her way out to shut my door again. Not pleasant. Poor mom.
Anyway, I've come a ways since then, but this morning reminded me of just how much I hate the morning hours. I just couldn't get going and as I was getting ready, and I still just didn't want to move, I tried to Accio my lotion to me. As in the Harry Potter spell. We're talking hand out, words said aloud and everything. It didn't come. I went on without my lotion. Morning wins this round.

Trailer Trash

I don't think that it's a secret that I love movies, but separate from that I also love watching trailers for movies. Occasionally I'll go to the fandango website and just check and see what trailers have recently been added and watch them. It's weird, but it's what I do.

These are just some that intrigue me currently:


I realize this one is already out, but I have not yet seen it on account of I don't do R's.


Coming soon:


I'm excited. Believe it.




I love the classics.


Got to love a good thriller





Um also, did you know that they are making a new "The Muppets" movie. Believe it brother. I know you're stoked.

Ritz

As in these babies...


So a few days ago I made a joke about how I would love to get good and sick for about a week so I could just loose a quick 10 pounds or so. No bid deal. But apparently the universe doesn't have quite as good of a sense of humor and decided to retaliate by making me actually sick. Rude. I was just kidding, I swear!
So for the last 3 days or so I have not been consuming very much. No appetite. Food sounds gross. Except Ritz Crackers. I've gained a whole new appreciation for them, sticking with me through this dark time. They are currently my best friend. Well, them and Netflix.
