It's just like riding a bike...

Me and Roxy


The time has come for me to get up off my booty and start pumping my body weight to work through the use of my pretty purple bicycle Roxanne, lovingly referred to as Roxy. Hopefully this will mean less trips to the gas station and stronger thigh muscles. (As of right now they are pitiful and weak!) The Lord confirmed it to me through a fortune cookie, as is how he often communicates with me, that the choice I have made is a good one.

THE INCREDIBLE HULK

THE HULK

Don't let Ang Lee's poor excuse of a film prevent you from seeing Marvel Comic's new and improved version of the Hulk. I loved it!There was a guest appearance by Tony Stark in the end which means that they are preparing for the big film "The Avengers" in 2011. I'm looking forward to it! Ed Norton and Liv Tyler exceeded expectations and overall I give this movie several thumbs up!

Faces of England



Thanks to all of you who came to support me in the art show Faces of England. Christian Smith, who was a student in the last Study Abroad trip to England, wanted to put together an art show. He asked me, Greg Steele and Carly Cowser (other study abroaders) to contribute. We all agreed and submitted five to six pieces each. We were able to display the show in the B.F. Larsen Gallery in the Harris Fine Arts Center on BYU Campus. A great time was had by all and it was a real learning experience for me. I was able to do my own matting, wire hanging and displaying of the pieces. Turned out really well. Thanks again for all of your support!

Me with some people I know and don't know


Lizzy just loved the feeling of smooth marble on her body!

Here is the Artists' Statement:
Christian Smith, Katy Taylor, Carly Cowser, and Greg Steele studied in the United Kingdom for four months in the fall of 2007. Though their work features a variety of styles, together they capture some of the faces England has to offer. The subjects of these photographs range from well-known English icons to scenic landscapes and undiscovered city streets. See the United Kingdom through the lenses of four different photographers each with their own unique perspectives.

Iron Man

I LOVED this movie! I was so surprised by Robert Downey Jr.'s performance. My delight in this movie may arise from the fact that I had NO expectations whatsoever before seeing this film. I had never heard of iron man and so I was most pleased with this Marvel Comic film. I think it is the perfect solution to the chick flick and macho action film. There is something for everyone, humor, romance, and plenty of sweet awesome action! To me, it's a must see! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!
