Show and Tell


I've had these pillowcases for a while, and I finally decided to embroider them over Christmas. I usually do projects for others, so it was a little weird coming up with something just for me. I was going for a seventies retro look--in redwork. I thought about doing the ladybug (the insect the turtle is looking at in pink and red, but ended up doing it in red too.)The light green matches one of the main art pieces in my room and the red matches my white duvet cover which has one red embroidered flower on it. They work, or at least I think they do.

My Christmas List

I wasn't going to do this on my blog because its a little self-indulgent as it is, but here goes.

1. Pettite to play for the Yankees. Oh wait, that's already going to happen. Now this is a nice early 30th Birthday present.

2. Ipod wall-charger. My nano needs a little wall-juice. Here's a few more links and this one too.

3. SNL Season One. Now this would be awesome.

4. Nacho Libre DVD. It's true. The movie is dumb, I love it.

5. Tortilla Press. I eat a lot of corn tortillas. I'd like to make my own, and this would help me do so.

6. A comal to go with the above. This griddle from Lodge? Pretty sweet.

7. The essential mormon cookbook. Because I'm trying a new trick to woo a husband. Funeral potatoes.

8. Classic Dylan. Blood on the Tracks for Piano. Yes, I'm asking for sheet music, Mom.

9. Camera ideas for Rich, who apparently is over losing his camera, and me, I'm over "losing" mine too, please. Personally, I like the Fuji's. If either of us get a camera, we probably should get a cheaper one considering our track records.

Camera
Camera
Camera
Camera
Camera

10. My pile of books is almost sky-high, thanks to Arlingon County Library .50 cent books, but I'd like some not fiction church books. Some real gospel doctrine to gnaw on please.

the Wit

(52% dark, 23% spontaneous, 21% vulgar)

your humor style:
CLEAN COMPLEX DARK


You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.

I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.

Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion.

You probably loved the Office. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/.

Show and Tell


This is for my mom mostly and for bragging rights. Then again, I'm a terrible bragger however that's another story entirely. Anyway, my friend Jesse alerted me to the fact that this blog was mentioned on utahpolicy.com in the blog watch section. The one time (okay maybe 5th) I talk about politics on my blog and I get a shoutout . Don't worry though, I don't plan on turning this blog into a wonky collection of stuff because that would be boring.

Yesterday I had an appointment with Margaret, my hair stylist. She runs a small business about a mile from my home. She's the only stylist and after she cuts my hair, she lets me blow dry it if I want. I've been wanting a change of look, so I had her cut it short and floppy. Here's some photos.

ENTP

A few days ago, my roommates and I were talking about the Meyer-Briggs test. I've noticed there's something about Mormons and well, humans. We like to categorize ourselves in little compartments.

"Are you yellow?" "I'm Blue." And then we proceed to talk 15 minutes about the different "color categories." (example of the color personality test that has been popular in Utah for the past 10-15 years-and I'm not blue, I'm a white-yellow).

For example, two of my roommates and myself sat for 30 minutes talking about the different types playing pop-pyschologist and trying to self-analyze eachother (okay chicas (and guys) like to analyze lots of different things).

Work has been slow, so the next day I took the test again and came up with ENTP: At first i was like, "Extroverted wth?" But then I read it, and realized yeah that could be a description of me, warts and all.....

From:
http://www.typelogic.com/entp.html

"Clever" is the word that perhaps describes ENTPs best. The professor who juggles half a dozen ideas for research papers and grant proposals in his mind while giving a highly entertaining lecture on an abstruse subject is a classic example of the type. So is the stand-up comedian whose lampoons are not only funny, but incisively accurate.

ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their often-impressive skills. They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. They sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.

ENTPs are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics; on occasion, however, they manage to outsmart themselves. This can take the form of getting found out at "sharp practice"--ENTPs have been known to cut corners without regard to the rules if it's expedient -- or simply in the collapse of an over-ambitious juggling act. Both at work and at home, ENTPs are very fond of "toys"--physical or intellectual, the more sophisticated the better. They tend to tire of these quickly, however, and move on to new ones.

and more...
ENTPs are nothing if not unique. Brave new associations flow freely from the unconscious into the world of the living. Making, discovering and developing connections between and among two or more of anything is virtually automatic. The product of intuition is merely an icon of process; ENTPs are in the business of change, improvement, experimentation.

Anyway, where do YOU fall on the test. What do you think about classification of peeps, the endless amount of quizzes etc?
