A nice list because it is a great medium to fill up space.
1) I ate some fruit gushers at work and had mixed feelings:
(a) They were delicious
(b) I was expecting a bit of a liquid explosion after reading the box for the past 3 days. It was more of a trickle, albeit a tasty one. A delicious puny dribble.
2) I like L.L.Bean catalogs for the future home decorating ideas. I am such a sap- I totally want to walk around in lambswool loafers and sip gourmet hot chocolate out of novelty mugs while I play deluxe L.L.Bean edition Scrabble. I also like reading knive catalogs and planning all the epic life threatening survival treks I might have to make across Canada.
3) Once in priesthood quorum I raised my hand to comment just to hear the teacher call on three guys named Chris in a row. I thought I was clever but I don't think anyone else noticed because no one offered me a high-five or a thumbs up.
4) I like art museums a lot and I fulfilled a life goal this summer of going to the Chicago Art Institute. I spent 8 hours inside and saw everything except for the dollhouse furniture and the miniature rooms. I was pretty sad about that. I wasted time on the performance art gallery when I could have seen miniature throne rooms from Buckingham palace and miniature great halls from Hogwarts. But it was a nice time and my legs were tired.
Also, the museum does not let you take ANY food or drink inside, even if it is an apple and a coke inside your backpack that you only want to check in and not even have access to for the rest of the day. I don't think my coke (which I was given for free on the street for some promotional thing) was going to go run upstairs and spray itself on the video of a cleaver hacking beef steaks, but the people told me I had to go outside and drink it. So I chugged it out of spite and burned my nose. And then I ate three apples and a granola bar.
But I think that would be my dream day- walk around art museums with apple juice and sandwiches. Or ride one of those Wal-Mart scooters with a shrimp cocktail. And it would be an even better day if the scooter had a tennis ball launcher from American Gladiator that I could shoot modern euro trash with. best. day. ever.

I can imagine you with one of those snuggies blankets with the sleeves and the ear muffs that just clip over your ear. You would have to be sitting on the ground next to a coffee table with a perfectly good comfy couch sitting unoccupied behind you.
Also, I think I would get bored in an art museum for 8 hours. Now, if it was a children's science museum, I could spend all day in that place.
Remember when we set up the American Gladiator arena in the living room and one person would run through it and the other would use your nerf bow and arrow? That was awesome.
I like reading topographical trail maps and imagining hiking to the little lakes and places.
Okay, that's cool that you now like art museums. Remember all the times you complained about going to another museum or old church or even to Venice? But now, I am satisfied that you turned out okay, after all!
Now, let's go play football!
Chris, how did you get so stinkin' funny. That had to be the funniest post!! I particularly like your great idea to make the teacher say Chris again, just to get high fives and thumbs up. Don't get me wrong that's totally worth high fives and thumbs up...it's just funny!
I also loved the whole museum experience...especially your idea of the perfect day. Hilarious.
So you're not going to blog anymore? Or maybe you're just taking a breather.
