This just in: the Tucanos in Salt Lake City is run by Satan and not as good as the one in Provo. DO NOT EAT THERE.
Also, 36 hours of food poisoning side-affects from said Tucanos is not as fun as it sounds. like seriously.
but. turns out that when all is said and done, chocolatey milk and blueberry bread really compensate.
so do pugs named Tilly that follow you around your future in-laws house. bless that cute/ugly little dog :)

Goodnight Freddy
I have something blasphemous to say: I am not a BYU Basketball fan.
I was born and raised an Aztec. My dad has worked at San Diego State all my life and I've been to more basketball games than I can count. Needless to say, tonight's game was rough. It was a good game though, both teams put up a good fight and I'm okay with the results.
But. I have something more blasphemous to say: I don't like Jimmer Fredette.
Before you say 'sore loser' or 'don't you know he's the number 2 ranked point guard in the nation?' or 'he scored 43 points at tonight's game and you're an idiot', the answers are no, yes, and no.
I respect Fredette because he really is a remarkable player- he can shoot from virtually anywhere on the court, he usually scores over half the team's points and he's got an amazing way of taking it to the net when he's not throwing 3's. and I admire that, I really do.
So why do I dislike him? Because he's all I hear about when it comes to BYU basketball. I think it's probably the little kid in me who just wants to shout 'BALL HOG' every time I see him, the part of me that dislikes one-man teams, and the part of me that can't stand it when the rest of the team gets shafted because of one player. So I guess it's not so much that I dislike him, it's more of the attention he gets.
Example: Tonight's game, BYU's defense was amazing, they blocked State like champs and I was impressed. It wasn't mentioned in the ESPN highlights, only Jimmer. Jimmer. Jimmer. Jimmer. Jimmer. Emery and Davies for 3.62 seconds. Jimmer. Jimmer. Jimmer.
The Jimmer Fredette Show. Jimmer Fredette University. You got Jimmered. Our mission is to convert you to Jimmerism. Jimmer is in range when he steps off the bus. Fredette about it. Thou shalt not covet Jimmer. Where is the rest of the team in all this? Unless they're all named Jimmer or some derivative therein, nowhere.
and for some reason, I just don't like that.

Grown-Up things I've done this week:
- set up a separate account at wells fargo by myself.
- taught a lesson at Church.
- gone wedding dress shopping.
- made potato salad.
- showed the apartment to freshies.
- called my brother to see how he was feeling.
- paid credit card bills.
- watched a documentary on China's Lost Girls instead of Mean Girls 2.
UnGrown-Up things I've done this week:
- watched Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers.
- eaten an unhealthy amount of oatmeal chocolate bars.
- gotten angry at Casey about something that I shouldn't have gotten angry about.
- not done my homework. at all.
- flipped off the girl outside of Sammy's who took up 2 parking spaces with her Explorer.
- slept in until 11:30 when I should have gotten up and exercised (or done homework).
I prefer to taking my growing up in strides.
