music issues

There are a couple issues we need to discuss concerning music. If you don't care about that subject, you can just move along to the next post.

first: Ryan Adams is dating Mandy Moore! Really? Ryan Adams and Mandy Moore. What? I cant even tell you all of the negative thoughts going through my brain when i read this. "Easy Plateau" and " Missing you like candy"? No! I just cant believe this. I hope he wakes up one day and realizes who he's dating and punches her in the face( i know thats mean, but i really do not like Mandy Moore) next subject.

So in salt lake, every summer, they have the Summer Twilight Concerts Series. Where the city gets bands to play for free down town, at the Gallivan Center. Of Course the summer Abe and I leave they have an amazing line up! The Roots, Andrew Bird, Clap Your Hands say Yeah, Nada Surf, Neko Case, and Broken Social Scene! I feel like they are just rubbing it my face that i don't live there anymore. Abe and I were debating whether or not we should go to salt lake just for Broken Social Scene. I am so mad about this. I would pay a lot of money to see any of those bands, but no, they are in Salt lake, for free! Why do bands skip over Phoenix? seriously though... Abe and I were looking for shows to go to, and wait... they were NONE! not only do we have to bake in this heat, we also get to listen to the"Top 20 songs" over and over again. We are living in the wrong city.

two years in uruguay

While watching the RSL vs. KC game on the desktop in our 800 square foot home of pure stucco, I received an email picture from my loved friends in slc that where at rice-eccles watching the game, REB Too Tall and Homer. When I lived in Uruguay for two years, I never felt as homesick as I did at that moment. But while living in Uruguay for two years I was never able to cope with homesickness as I am able to now thanks to conjugal living

the day in the life

Since Xbox 360 Live's inception, there's been 2,300,000,000 hours spent playing games on the network. Which is 95,000,000 days. Which is 260,000 years. 2,000,000 text and voice messages are sent over the service every day. My husband... he is one of them. It all started when Abe's friends got him an Xbox 360 for "our" wedding present. Wedding present? really? Everyday, if not every other day Abe is on the Xbox 360. It wouldn't be such a big deal, but when he is playing, he is occupying not just the television, but the internet too. So what do i get to do... i am left with no other choice, but to be stuck watching him play. yeah, thanks for the wedding present. I really picture my first year of marriage, watching my husband say ridiculous things into headset, while his are eyes glued to the T.V.( I hope everyone is picking up on my sarcasm.) So, to entertain myself, i started recording all of things he says. Its funny to me, because its things that i didn't expect Abe to ever say to me in real life.
"Look at this guy twitching, i feel bad because i killed him."
"dude."
"Look at my gun, customized baby!"
"dude."
"Do you want to see me snipe this guy?"
"dude, dude."
"Do you want to play? I can plug you in."

Did he really think i wanted to play? All i could say in response was,"this game swears."
Just another day in the life of being Mrs. Abe Reyna.

The Captain's Mistress

Last night it was brought to my attention that Jessica was famed for her great skill when it came to the Milton Bradley game Connect Four, circa 1974. Two players, ages generally range from 7 and up; games tend to last around ten minutes. I was curious to see her in her flair that made her a Connect Four celebrity in the Provo area. Children would come from a far to see her toy with her challenger, as she juggled the checkers across her knuckles, starring straight at them as if she could read ones thoughts. I must be honest with you, I did fear for my life as we laid out the travel size game. Instantly, I lost the first game not even knowing what had happen, I felt violated and used all at once. I mustard up all of my courage and took her once more. Final tally: Abe-6, Jessica-1. I was foolish to think that we could simply “spoon” afterwards…but that wasn’t the case. Needless to say, after she reads this, she most likely wont “spoon” with me tonight as well.

One more thing, while I'm just rambling...When i first started this blog i was kind of nervous, i felt this pressure to write about really cool things that me and abe do( and i will do that). But really? thats probably not what I'll be writing about most of the time. I like to talk about nothing that has any real importance. Thats how my brains thinks. You know, its the thoughts that come you when you are driving alone or in the shower. I feel like i need to get these thoughts out or my brain will just explode. Just bare with me. thank you.

Everything is a "situation" to me. i.e."what are you going to do about that situation?" ; " how do you feel about that situation?". I don't even know why i say it so much... it just comes out. When i say it, it can mean anything. Abe missed a call from a friend, and i say" what are you going to do about that situation?" when its not really a "situation" at all, but i just call it that.
I also attach "or something" at the end of my sentences. i.e. " i think we are going to my parents house or something"; " I'm really hungry or something"; " I think she is cute or something". Can i even do that? Do all English majors hate me right now, because i talk/write like that? I don't even make sense when i say these things. They have to hate me, they probably have some club.The" i wish Jessica would not talk like that" club. And they would also discuss that i frequently write run- on sentences. i like to call it rambling, but they would probably call it " poor grammar". well good thing this club does not actually exists and i am free to write and talk how i please(even if it doesn't make sense)

seriously?

These are Abe's shoes. He had taped them up because they were falling apart. These are the shoes he said he was "only going to wear to soccer". So, why do i see him start to put them on right before we go out? I know what your thinking... "get the boy some new shoes!" But no no, he has new shoes. He has about four other shoes he can wear. Why he still wears these? I'll never understand.

This rainy day

Today was perfect. I love that its raining, I love that its cold, I love that i am wearing a jacket, and i love rainy day music. I didn't realized how much i missed the cold weather. I don't want it to go away . For the last couple days its been in the triple digits. This rain is refreshing. Tonight me and abe opened all of our windows in our house so it would get really cold. We made tomato soup(which is my favorite thing in the world) and made the best grilled cheese sandwich we have ever created. We sat our couch(because we don't have table) and ate, while we listen to the perfect rainy day soundtrack(+/- and death cab). It was perfect. It was the first time since moving to Arizona, that i felt like we were home.
