So obviously I'm back in Tucson. Unfortunately, I'm also back in my work/play routine so not much exciting has happened...
Monday was pretty cavalier. I went to work, pit my co-workers against each other and puppeteered a small war until my shift was over at which point it was basically time for FHE. I can't even begin to describe the stunning event that FHE was. We watched a film production of The Prophet Joseph Smith's life that can be found on the mormonchannel youtube channel. It was really excellent because it cut out much of the really well-known events and really introduced you to the man, you know? Also, there was pizza.
Afterward, I met with my bishop to continue what's become a really long and drawn out process of completing my mission papers. I really love meeting with him though cause he's pretty funny and full of wisdom. Often brother Foss (our second counselor) will stop by as well and he's a real hoot. Anyway, a secret was revealed to me... but I can't let you know 'til after Sunday. That was about it for Monday.
Tuesday was the one day I had off of work this week and it was fabulous. I got up bright and early by 9:30 and spent most of the day practicing guitar. I'm determined to really get better. Already I've shown improvement by practicing my scales and jamming with some backing tracks. I'm excited!
Okay, so Wednesday was pretty fun though. After work and all, we mingled around trying to get something to happen, and we ended up at Safeway to get a movie. But then we got ingredients for the most delicious pie ever. Oreo pie crust, Ghiradelli Brownie Mix, and Chocolate pudding. By the time that piping hot brownie had made sweet messy love to my chilled pudding, it was in my belly and I could feel myself getting fatter. I have never more enjoyed the movie Easy A. I love the main character's unrelenting wit and general apathy. It's really inspiring. Anyway, my friend Justin, a devilishly handsome young man with classic good looks and a sporty style, was relating a conversation with his current ladyfriend where a roller-blading date had become a hot suggestion. He was concerned that he would have to longboard alongside her in the absence of necessary implements. In short, I am now attempting to acquire a pair of my father's blades so that this date can play out the way we all imagine it would according to every romantic comedy we've ever seen, namely, they can hold hands as they skate. I'm such a good friend.
Fast forward to Thursday evening. Pizookies. That's right, the delicious dessert that is half-baked Nestle Tollhouse cookie topped with vanilla ice cream was enjoyed by all in attendance at my Rock Band get-together. It was a blast. Also, I perfected the last song we played. On Expert. On guitar. And it was a fairly difficult number. No big deal.
Today (Friday) was really neat. My supervisor is out of town until like Tuesday or something so I mostly read my book "Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith" and it is sooooo enriching. I work at a bookstore, so I don't feel too bad about reading on the job. Anyway, I feel like such a sinner when I read it, but it's still uplifting ya know? The coolest part is my co-workers will ask me small questions and whatnot about it, which I enjoy. No one is too interested, but one of the ladies I work with was really excited about it and I told her I'd get her a copy. I just feel happier when I know I draw closer to the words of God and his servants.
I haven't really been in the mood for sarcasm and all that lately so sorry if this post wasn't particularly entertaining. I'll spice it up next time for sure.
Deuces.
