Why I loved studying Philosophy at BYU

Its a long video, but really great. I loved studying Philosophy at BYU. I don't think I had a class with Foster, but this sentiment just kind of permeated the whole place and it was lovely.

Bossypants


I just finished reading Tina Fey's book, "Bossypants" and I thought it was amazing. AMAZING. I read it all in one night. So funny and even a little poignant at times, or was that just because it was 2am? oh well. Also, things I learned Tina and I have in common:

1. Stressed-induced chin acne.
2. Hideous childhood haircuts (sorry mom, it's true)
3. An early sense of acceptance through small-town community theatre.

There were also things that gave me absolute joy and hope for the world:

1. That a self-admitted shy person with little to no salesmanship could pitch a tv show and just generally have success in life.
2. That someone can write a book with a dangling modifier and get away with it these days - grammar nazis be damned. (For the recond I only found one, but I'm someone who takes joy in grammar mistakes and so obviously I'm not that great at spotting them)
3. That there is a book that compares the creepiness of putting in a contact lens with the creepiness of looking for a lost tampon string.

Tina Fey I absolutely adore you.

Coniference




That's what Cory calls it.
Here is our post session conversation.
Cory wasn't watching conference, he was computer working.
Cory (face down, glasses off): "I wish I didn't wear glasses, this is so comfortable"
Me: "ya"
Cory: "What did people blind as me do before glasses?"
Me: "they were called the blind, and they begged on the street"
Cory (in all seriousness): "oh that sounds awesome"

Someone is a little stressed. Time for an eye-ball massage. Hoe you enjoy a restful weekend of inspiration.
