Hmmmm......

It's a shame that typewriters have no WiFi capabilities- because if they did, I could post from my new TYPEWRITER. Oh shoot, it's so cool.

It was a surprise from the boy who happens to be sleeping on my shoulder.

On one hand, this is a sweet moment.

On the other, you have to respect my skills- because as far as I can tell, I'm keeping up my 88 WPM even with this lug over here.

But ah looove him. So it's okay.

Anyway, today is Black Friday- hopefully you shoppers got your goods, and the rest of you are having a relaxing day off of school and work- because I know I am.

I'll probably post again soon about my whole trip, but for now, let's focus on the movie. I mean, on homework. I guess.

This is for my writing class. Seriously.

A Note on Living in Utah

An insight for you on the culture of Utah:

There is a tendency to pronounce the letters "a" and "t" in very characteristic ways. Whereas you and I, good Southern folk, say words like, "fahhm-ly" and "but," these Uties say, "fahm-ly" and "buh."

What's more interesting is a tendency to turn "o"s into "a"s, and then to pronounce them with that same "a" sound from above.

Case in point: "American Fork" becomes "American Fark."

According to my Aunt Shelly, it would have made more sense to call "American Fork" "American Fort"--but with the substituting in of the Utah "a" pronunciation, you can tell how this might have been problematic.
