New Job?

I have had a very good job at the cannon center (I've started giving it more fancy names, such as The Cannon Lounge and Bistro). At the same time, I've kept one eye open for anything better that might be offered around campus.

I think I found it. Yesterday I read that the BYU art department is currently seeking male models for sculpting, painting, and figure drawing. I can just see my resume now. 130 lbs of the most chiseled skin and bones you'll ever find.

Today I asked, and found out that next week I'll hit my one year mark and receive a raise at Le CannĂ³n. On second thought, perhaps I'll just stay there.

Staycation Udates and Plans

I'm really glad that I decided to stay in Provo for the school break. It is going to be an awesome two weeks. Here is what's happened already.

-I went a 8 days without shaving for the first time in months. I was a BYU student livin' on the edge. If it weren't for my dang job, I'd have gone even longer.

-Grant has movie nights every now and then on his big projector and surround sound system. We watched O, Brother where art thou. I'd heard about it, but never seen it. I highly recommend it.

-Plenty of table tennis.

-I've gotten in about an hour a day on the organ. I still can't play worth squat, but its getting better.

-Robert moved to town. We've done a couple of things together already. It should be fun.

-I'm reading a textbook to get ahead before I get behind in a class. I'm really looking forward to the next semester.

-My roommate Sam moved out. The same day, Mike moved in. He was already in my ward, so I know him already. He'll be around until Jan, when he's planning on going on a mission. He's a cool guy.

-Training for the red rock relay. Powertri.com got our six man relay team in for free ($650 race!).

-I rode up squaw peak close to as fast as I've ever done it, then came back down about as slow as I've ever done it. There was a horrible wind and a massive downpour on the way back. Each time we'd come around a corner into the wind, the rain would hit hard enough to almost cause welts. I love cycling!


What is coming up is even better:

-Sam (roommate) and Cherie (I home teach her) invited me to their wedding on Friday. No one has ever really done that before. I'm glad and look forward to going.

-Friday night Grant, his siblings and I are going to the Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele to see the time trial for the tour of Utah. two time world TT podium finisher and yellow jersey wearer Dave Zabriskie will be there, as will Floyd Landis, Oscar Sevilla, Victor Hugo Pena and a few other guys. I can't wait!

-On Sat. I am starring in a butterfinger commercial. Tanner is making it for a competition. If he wins, I'll be all over TV. If he doesn't, I'll be all over youtube. win-win situation.

-Mom and Dad and I are going camping and hiking next monday in the La Sals. Stay posted.

-Red vs. Blue time trial on the 29th. Time for the Utes to kick our trash again.

Camping

Friday night was camping night! Tanner, his friend Patrick, and I went up Spanish fork Canyon for a sweet night in the mountains. The highlight was the tri-weed cup:
