  • Apples to Apples

    If you have never played Apples to Apples you should give it a shot, it is a lot of fun.  I played tonight with Ruth and her family.  It has been quite a long time since I have had this kind of fun with a game, and it has certainly been quite a while since…

  • “Dollhouse” Finale

    Warning this post may contain spoilers! I have been watching Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse on Fox and personally I have found it to be an interesting and exciting series.  Unfortunately, I feel like it came to an abrupt end much like Whedon’s last series Firefly, at least it was not cut off mid-season.  Thanks to my…

  • Solar Power

    No, I don’t mean the electricity that you get from putting solar panels on your roof.  I am thinking more along the lines of solar power driving us, people.  I suppose it may not just be solar power, possibly just being outside, I am not sure.  What I do know is that when I spend…

  • Foto Friday #2

    “I cannot see what flowers are at my feet,  Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs.”  ~John Keats I don’t know what kind of flower this is.  I have never been good with that kind of thing, but I do know that is pretty.  I found this one while walking through Red Butte Gardens in…

  • Why Ski?

    For the Alta views of course! Today was a bluebird day at Alta and I grabbed some nice photos.  I always ski with my little P&S camera in my pocket just in case, and today was a great day to have it. First up, a three frame composite panorama.  I whipped this together really quickly,…

  • Dish Jenga

    At some point I think that it is an inevitability (unless you are my parents) that there is a game of dish jenga going on in everyone’s kitchen. Sometimes it is probably two games, the one with the dirty dishes in the sink and the one with the clean dishes on the drying rack. I…

  • Web Savvy

    In general, many of us live pretty public lives nowadays.  Even if you don’t do Twitter or don’t have a blog you probably have a Facebook or a MySpace page or belong to some other online community.  The strange thing is that even if you don’t really do anything online there is still a bunch…

  • TV Commitments

    In general I tend to find ways to keep busy. Between work, cooking, eating, skiing in the winter, hiking and camping in the summer it doesn’t really leave that much time. However, it seems that the number of TV commitments that I have continues to grow. Working in theatre, I am usually at work when…

  • Mondays on Music

    As a person who always has a song running through my head and for whom music is a central part of life it seemed only natural to have a theme day for music. While it is probably cliché to do music on Mondays, I don’t really mind. Anyway, you can’t go wrong with a little…

  • Zordak?

    If you are wondering what Zordak is, you are asking the wrong question.  You should be asking who Zordak is.  Zordak is the king of the universe, also known as Zordak KOTU.  Zordak is a character from a bunch of “stories” that my brother wrote while he was in elementary school.  I don’t remember any…
