3/31/13


Word to the hood. 

This week included:

Skateboarding in the sunshine (it's finally spring!)
Talking to an INSANE OLD LADY in a hot tub (more on this later)
Watching Return of the Living Dead
Eating delicious pizza
Almost getting an A on a computer science test

I'd say it was a pretty good week. 
We met the crazy old lady at Downata Hot Springs. If you ever feel like going to Downata Hot Springs, don't be afraid, but don't expect too much. It is a beautiful drive north from Logan to Downey, ID. It's nestled at the foot of some very Idahoan hills (sage and volcano rocks). Admission is cheap, and the hot tub could be found in a Hampton Inn, but all in all it was a fun experience. We were just getting soaked when a baggy octogenarian in a purple Speedo one-piece and handmade purple beanie that very much resembled one of these slumped into the pool and presently began to tell us one of the most depressing stories I have ever heard. She once had a nephew who was an FBI agent who ended up being killed in a shootout with a fugitive, and the funeral was horrifying because his wife threw herself across the casket and wailed in front of the entire gathering. Brilliant way to break the ice. Next, she bombarded us with all sorts of wisdom, including:

1. China is this close to shutting down all of our technology and subsequently attacking us alongside North Korea, so you better learn quick how to "cut wood and shoot guns".

2. Missionary work pays, because after serving a mission in Hawaii, she was able to purchase a manufactured home in Downey for under $40k with a sprinkler system

3. Computer programming isn't "real".

4. Sitting in a hot-tub and bothering strangers is great for your arthritis. 

Take these sage mantras to heart, they are important. Also remember that if you ever need to hide from a nosy old hag, try the sauna--she doesn't know the child-proof code!

This week wasn't too eventful really, just a lot of school work and work work. I have now worked at Smith's Marketplace for 1,000 hours. I made this Facebook post to commemorate the milestone. Not to brag or anything, but it was probably the most popular post I have ever made. Nbd nbd...

Butchya...brevity. K bye. 

In honor of Easter:
