Sundance Adventures

Last weekend I went up to Park City for the Sundance Film Festival. I met up with a good friend and some of his friends. The first stop was a gay brunch entitled OutFest sponsored by Absolut Vodka. There was a small stage and I did a little dancing. If I was wearing different shoes, I think I would have let loose a little bit more. I may not agree with their views, but those people do know how to have fun. Plus they were all extremely attractive and much nicer than straight guys.

The next stop was Keith Bryce's Paper Doll Show. Keith is from SLC and was on the last season of Project Runway. My friend's friend knows his boyfriend so we managed an invite. It was an art show where he displayed some of his artwork, scarves, clothing and dolls. There were live models who were gorgeous and the apparel was beautiful as well. He was selling these incredible scarves, but they were a little out of my budget, so my friend agreed to make me one soon. I met a lot of cool people, and it was kind if entertaining to see people wasted at one in the afternoon.

After a couple hours at the art show, we decided to walk Main street and look for something to eat. While walking we saw Paris Hilton coming out of Harry Os, well at least the top of her head. There were way too many people crowded around her. We also saw Chet from Real World: Brooklyn. There was also an anti-fur protest which was kind of scary. Lots of shouting and strange makeup and clothing.

Over all the day was a blast. The guys I hung out with were hilarious, especailly the one that was completely wasted and was hugging me and telling me he loved me . . . yes it was the first time we had met. It was really nice to get out of the Provo bubble and meet some different people. It definitely makes me ache to move on.

Did you get my wall post?

You know communication and technology are at it's best when your wayward brother Facebook's your mom to ask her if he can move back home. On her wall, not even in a message. The conversation then moved to text messaging. A phone call has still not been made. I love it!

I am seriously excited for my older brother to move back home. Even though he will still be 780 miles away, that's a lot closer than over 2,000 miles. I'm sure it won't last long, but I think it will be good for him.

Another reason I love the snow . . .

So I had this totally awesome experience today. And by awesome I mean totally sucky. It is snowed all day long and so I decided to skip my lunch break and leave an hour early from work. As usual, I started my car, turned on the defroster and then got out to start scraping. After scraping the 1/2 foot of snow off my car, I went to get back into the car and discovered that my car door was locked. And after trying all three other doors, I realized that I was locked out of my car, while it was running. Go me!

I ran back inside the office and asked a coworker for help. There wasn't really anything he could do to get my car unlocked, so I went into problem-solving mode. I knew I had a spare key at my apartment, but I also knew that none of my roommates would be home. My cell phone, purse and keys were in the car, so of course I couldn't call my roommates or get into my apartment. Another coworker suggested I call Police Dispatch to see if they could help. Apparently they can only open cars if there is a child inside. So I tried another route, I called my apartment's management company to see if I could use the spare key to get into my apartment. Luckily their office is located right by my apartment building, so a coworker offered to drive me there pick up the key, go to my apartment to pick up my car key and then drive me back to the office. Everything ended up working out and I was able to drive home. An hour and a half later than planned. Happy Tuesday!

The Things People Say

Conversation overheard in the Nordstrom's parking lot yesterday:

A daughter telling her mother about a prior conversation:

"She said, I thought for sure you would grow up to be a streetwalker, but look at you now. You look so nice."

Seriously? Who says that to anyone?
