twitterpated

today Apolo Anton Ohno was on the today show. i really like him.  and i think he is cute.  during the winter olympics, brian got a little jealous and took to calling him my boyfriend...

me: my boyfriend is on the today show!!
brian: the skater boy?
me: yes!
brian: i knew it. its ok. all my boyfriends are on tv tonight.


maybe i need to start blocking espn for both our sakes...

the giants win the pennant!

last night we watched the Giants v. Phillys game, cheering for the giants (DUH!!).  not only was the end of the game met with much jumping [good thing we dont live above anyone-yay basement apartments...], but the whole game was high anxiety.  if you arent familiar with the giants style of play, they are like the utah jazz-a last inning team.  another word for it? TORTURE!  oh, but torture never had such great results.  brian particularly had some strong feelings, just not the ones you might expect...

brian, talking to the seth a few hours before the game: yeah buster posey is my boyfriend, and i have a man crush on kung fu panda.


brian, when Affeldt was put in: if Affeldt wins us the game, ill have to cheat on buster with him...

a few minutes later...

brian: GIMME A KISS, AFFELDT!

a few minutes after that...

brian, looking at me: i may need to start seeing other people, honey.

im just glad that these men all live very far away from us.

WE ARE BYU FOOTBALL!

today we went to the BYU football game. it was great-it rained AND we won!!  the perfect football saturday.  on our way home, in the post game hell that is traffic, brian couldnt help but comment on this guy's sticker on his car...

brian, reading the sticker: university of utah, huh?
brian, looking at the guy as we pulled up yet to him: yes, im judging you right now.

dry spell

brian has been unfunny recently.

usually when he is really sleepy/hungry/grumpy he says some pretty funny/random things.

but he has been super busy with hw [boo] and now he is just unfunny and grumpy.

instead, here is a funny picture of him-a self portrait after snapping his tooth off when we were dating a few years ago.  this is post midnight root canal in which i assisted, and then promptly swore i would never EVER consider dental school.  i would say the meds did this, but im pretty sure he would have done this sober too.

yes, im married to that face.  adorable huh?

late night caffeine run

brian, getting ready to go get me a coke: im gonna put on a hoodie. thats it. no shirt underneath.  im scandalous...[breaks into song] scandalous, that girl is so scandalous, that girl is a baaaad giiiiirrrrl....


i will do some questionable things for diet coke, but this alone was worth it.

heaven and hell

sometimes, there is no explanation for brian. 

me: ew there is a bug in my water!

brian: yeah right. there's no such thing as bugs.

me: then what was the gross spider? [the one in the earlier story]

brian: the devil.

wanted: longer days

today brian came home kinda grumpy and really tired. he was kind of pacing and i didnt know what he was doin, but apparently i kept distracting him from his mission...

brian, exacerbated: stop talking to me!  i need to eat, so no. i cant come look at that right now and i cant kiss you right now.  im starving. i need to eat first.

a few moments later...

brian: i need to urinate.
me: i thought you needed to eat.
brian, in distress: i know, i do! there isnt enough time in the day for me to the things i need to do!


...

breakfast of champions

brian and i like to make big breakfasts on saturday or sunday mornings.  they usually are some concoction of eggs, hash browns and sausage.  as poor college students, we dont buy high class sausage. we buy the kind that is saran wrapped and looks like a giant flat patty of ground beef.  so i usually freeze it, requiring some effort in the morning...

me, in response to hearing chopping in the kitchen: what are you doing??

brian, who is wielding a huge knife above his head: i was trying to karate chop it...

pimp-luscious

brian has decided that we need a pet. a red eyed tree frog to be exact.  

he had frogs when he was a kid and the idea has just grown into the ultimate wish for a christmas froggy.
he asked me if we could get one, or if we could ask for it for christmas and i told him i couldnt agree to that until i had held one.  thus this conversation transpired...

brian: what are we doing this weekend? can we go to the frog store so you can hold one?
me: sure. do you think animal ark will have frogs?
brian: i dunno. but maybe they will make them for us.
me, laughing: what, like out of crepe paper?
brian: no. they will make the frogs have sex. they are their pimps.

operation: scavenger hunt

brian had a birthday this week.
and he knew exactly what he was getting. the mac computer than he needed for school/work.

sssssssssooooooooooo i had to make him earn it!
i made him go on a scavenger hunt.

first he came to my carrel to get me once he was ready to leave but i wasnt there!  instead, there was a happy birthday sign and a sign to open my carrel. inside was a bag of m&ms and a clue.  brian at first thought the sign (which had an arrow on it) meant to open my water bottle...he was a little confused at first haha but he figured it out.

the next clue was in the car (i hid it the day before) and it took us to dinner as mi ranchito.  the clue i was gonna give him there wasnt planted yet so i had to figure out a way to do it.  lucky for me, he was in the bathroom when we were seated so i stuck it under the table.  after dinner i asked him where we were goin and when he realized i didnt have the next clue, he started looking all over haha.

the next clue took us to the park where he had to take some pics of us before he got his next clue.  unknown to him, i had taken a pic of the clue!

we next went to his moms house where he had to go in the back yard , and then was directed to the attic. on the floor of the attic was an apple with a clue taped to it.  oops! wrong kind of apple!

when he found the computer (with free printer, duh) he was happy.  not the omg-i-wanted-this-so-bad kind of happy, but the i-really-wish-i-didnt-need-this-cuz-i-hate-apple-but-now-i-dont-have-to-reformat-my-external-every-day-after-class kind of happy.

id say i did good, and he was a good sport.

my favorite part?  the mild look of irritation on his face when he realized i had tricked him into coming to my carrel but trying not to smile in glee at the m&ms in his hand.

a computer and m&ms. who could ask for more? certainly not brian.
