documentarians

ok people, here is a question i am posing for you. i am going to give you 2 choices. please pick one. would you rather watch a documentary about people at bus stops waiting for the bus with questions such as what do you do? where are you going? why do you ride the bus? why are you wearing that fuzzy blanket? where did you get that saber? just basically finding out their stories and see if they think you are crazy (or the documentary maker is crazy) or is they answer candidly and have honest heartfelt answers. or would you rather watch a documentary about all the people holding signs at freeway exits, under passes, stop signs etc. asking for help, anything helps signs and have a brief glimpse into their lives. maybe spotlight a few of them to find out their stories and what made them feel so desperate that they had to beg for money. also find out if any of them are scam artists. thanks for your help. here is the back story. mark is obsessed with people at the bus stops here. seriously. anytime we drive past a bus stop, he always points them out and now refers to them as the bus people. he talked about them so much that i told him he should make a documentary about them. then, i thought i sholud have a competing documentary so i came up with the one about the sign people. i think it is more compelling and has a more human touch. don't steal our ideas because they are AWESOME and copyrighted. thanks.

alive

i promise we are alive. things are quiet here but i thought i should put something on here so i was not staring at my blasted curlered hair every time i opened this thing. here are some highlights of the past little while.
1. we have friends! i never thought i would see the day but alas, we are popular again so never fear. i am going to do a new friends post soon so hold on to your hats.

2. with aforementioned friends, we took a trip to moses lake, washington this past weekend. i took 2 pictures and they are of us in the car so not so exciting. it was a fun relaxing weekend and was on the tail end of mark's spring break, so we had to party it up.

the whole time i was in moses lake when i was not partying, i was looking for my friend's uncle john. and the sad thing is that i have no idea what he looks like. i just know he lives there.

3. the temple gig is going well. we get up at freaking 4:30 am but other than that it is pretty nice. i am always tripped out for some reason when i see mark there doing some of his duties. fun times.

4. we bought a vintage fondue set off of ebay and i made some yummy cheese fondue for valentine's day and got myself some beautiful calla lilies.

5. there is still snow on the ground here.

6. i got a job. kind of. it is for the 2010 census bureau. it lasts 10-12 weeks. someone told me that hannibal from silence of the lambs killed a census worker so the job is now not appealing at all. that show freaked my freak for years and caused me to not sleep in my basement bedroom for weeks. sigh.
