computer clock

so ever since i moved here to the couv, my clock on my laptop has been wrong. its on utah/idaho time. and i went in and corrected it lots of times. but it never stays. it always goes back to utah idaho time (mountain standard time, as it were?). so i just stopped trying to fix it and i just know when i check it to subtract an hour. its like my laptop has been fighting me living in washington or somethine. so it wins. my clock will be right again. ya, its lookin like ill be moving to good ol SLC in late july-ish. im working out the details to transfer for work cuz that would be freaking rad. so things are gettin worked out. but ya, its time. and im super excited. i hope you utah dwellers werent really offended at the grass post. you guys arent brown grass. you are the pretty beautiful flowers in the grass. and, in my defense, i did say that it just LOOKS brown from over here, but i know itll be green and beautiful when i get there. im super stoked to be closer to family and friends i havent seen much lately. so thats the dealio folks. im not gonna go into how/why i made the decision or all the things im going to miss cuz i just dont wanna go into that yet. but its happenin. and heres some other noteworthy happenings from my weekend:
  • i went to a crazy interesting hip/hop show which actually didnt feel at all like a hip hop show cuz there was a definite lack of afroes and lots of white people, there was a tuba, and a full band, and there was def more of a "jam band" feel to it. they are called "roots". but i did have a fascinating conversation with a very attractive black guy outside the venue as i waited for my buddy. first time ive heard a sorta hick-ish accent from a black guy. hes from LA but went to school in montana. good times.
  • i got super crappy plantar fasciitis ouchiness on my long run saturday morning and it has me really really worried, what with my marathon a mere 7 weeks away. curses.
  • i watched a totally freakin awesome cover of a great bob dylan tune at our ward variety show (joel feik rocked the harmonica like nobodys business and alyssa held it steady with the piano)
  • i leg wrestled a bunch of girls
  • i got a pie right in my face for the first time ever. im glad i dont have to go my whole life wondering what thatd be like. turns out, its pretty difficult to see immediately after receiving the pie in the face.
  • i had it confirmed by two different girls with awesome hair that i really need to master the wrapping the hair AROUND the curling iron thing to have really great curls. the ends are the key. dont curl the ends, thats what makes it modern. thanks jessica.
  • i had a fabulous easter sunday, basket, bunny, jelly beans included (thanks roommate!!!) and a wonderfully delicioius easter dinner with good ol friends and cute chubby babies that i couldnt stop pinching the cheeks of.
  • i reconfirmed my complete and absolute love/obsession with my new perfume Chloe. wow. i cant stop smelling myself. so delicious. and doesnt give me a headache. which is pretty amazing.
  • ok and this wasnt on the weekend, it was today, but i did master...well....got closer to being able to do the wrapping the hair around the curling iron curl thing. it was fun. and looked part awesome, part bizarre. but i dug it. makes me able to keep growing my hair.
  • ok, and also today, i reminisced with my trainer about all the awkward things he has made me/seen me do in the last year and a half. mostly when he made me do a pushup on the swiss ball. ....ok and most of the plyometrics we do. k i need to dedicate a whole post to him and our experiences soon.
k i gotta go night night now.
