Announcement number two: Butt soup.

Community is back. Words cannot describe how happy I am.... Wait... That's a dumb statement. Of course words can describe how happy I am, that's what words do. Usually when I say that I simply mean that I don't want to take the time to think of the proper words. Sometimes I have the words, but my brain doesn't communicate with my mouth hole so I am unable to convey how I feel. This happens more that I want to admit.

Like when I see Jennifer Connelly in The Rocketeer.
Side note: I love The Rocketeer.

Ok, back to business. I love Community, and I love that it's back. Community, for those of you who don't know, is a show on NBC set at Greendale Community College that focuses on a study group and their wacky antics. On the surface it just seems like a ridiculous show made for easy laughs, but it's so much more than that. There's something special about Community, something that most shows never even come close to achieving. There's a heart to it, characters that you fall in love with, that you care for, that make you feel in ways that a television show never should but does.


Whether it's watching "Troy and Abed in the Morning", reading #AnniesMove tweets, listening to "Baby Boomer Santa" on repeat, or just thinking about building my own Dreamatorium I just can't stop watching this amazing show. I doubt they'll get to #SixSeasonsandaMovie, especially since it seems like this their last season, but I'm ok with that. Hopefully when it ends I'll just get Changnesia and have to rediscover this show all over again. 

I know that last paragraph was confusing if you've never seen the show, and I apologize. I'm going to leave you with some wonderful Community gifs and videos, a suggestion to watch the first 3 seasons on DVD, and an offer to watch them all with you. 









I almost forgot, HAPPY VALLOWEEN!!! It's like October 19th all over again!

Time to get to work

I finally have all 36 goals in my hand. It's pretty amazing honestly. And the way that I got my last 12 were quite pleasing as well. As I walked into my office the other day, I was handed this:

I felt very spy-like
At this point I figure this is either an elaborate assassination attempt or.... Actually I assumed assassination attempt all the way. I haven't made too many enemies over the years, but the ones I have are ruthless.

Side note: I really like Danny DeVito
Slowly I opened my package, expecting the worst. But to my pleasant surprise I had been sent 12 brand new goals. 12 new goals that would challenge me mentally and physically, taking me to new levels of awesomeocity and IndianJonesitude. And even better, they came on their own individual notecards. AND WITH A BOOK!!! 
I probably should take better pictures, but I don't.
As a reminder, here's the other 24 so far:


  1. Walk at least 4 miles every single week until Spring Break
  2. After learning to swim, learn one type of swim stroke and perfect it (for example: the breast stroke… he he he )
  3. Tell yourself something truly positive about you every single day
  4. Take someone to your favorite spot
  5. Have lunch or dinner by yourself without any internet distractions
  6. Watch season 1 of Veronica Mars
  7. Plan a super date
  8. Get more batman gear
  9. Go down a slide or swing whenever possible
  10. Dedicate 5 blog posts to someone or something
  11. Live tweet 5 of the Bond films
  12. Try a new and exotic type of cuisine
  13. Blog once a week for three months.
  14. Learn to swim
  15. Create a geo-scavenger hunt.
  16. Create an original superhero.
  17. Write a short story about said hero.
  18. Create an original recipe that must include bacon.
  19. Run a 5k.
  20. Watch every Bond film (All 23).
  21. Learn a hobby of my choosing.
  22. Eat somewhere from "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives"
  23. Go on a road trip.
  24. Ride a Batman themed ride.


And here are my new 12:
  1. Read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
  2. Pick 3 people to intentionally pursue relationships with this year
  3. Dress up for class twice a month throughout the semester
  4. Write "The Ladies Guide to _______" My choice what.
  5. Learn to cook eggs five ways: scrambled, fried, hardboiled, poached, and softboiled
  6. Take someone stargazing
  7. Watch 5 Hitchcock films, and choose a favorite
  8. Give ten strangers a compliment
  9. Design a tattoo that may or may not ever get
  10. Treat a girl to bacon fondue
  11. Mean an article of clothing 
  12. Write "The Comprehensive Guide to Dinosaur Fighting"
So that's it. My full plate for the year. I've already knocked off a few, but I still have so much to do. So I'm gonna go get started with a nap and a late night snack.

Later days

Filler

This is really just a filler post until I can edit something together that is much nicer. I would've posted earlier but I was in Memphis this weekend and didn't even touch my computer. Lots of things have occurred in my life, and I'll talk about them tomorrow.

Sorry I'm the worst
