A Day in the Life

We went to the BYU Surplus sale this week at the Office of Information Technology. If you have never been to this event, you need to see it. We went looking for a flat screen monitor for our computer desk, or anything else cheap that looked cool. We were definitely NOT expecting to look for parking for 15 minutes and wait in a 45 minute line just to get in the door. The place was jumping! There was a line full of nerds waiting to buy the parts to build their own computers or just add on to the one they already owned. Maybe an extra screen or two for those oh-so-important computer games that need more than just the standard 15″ screen to really feel the full effect. Once we finally got in, they told us we only had 20 minutes to shop, and all of a sudden it was a madhouse. Nerds were pushing and shoving just to get the prized cables, motherboards, and CD drives that were on sale for ridiculously cheap. I wont lie, I wanted my flat screen monitor just like the next guy, but when we finally got to the shelf with the flat screen monitors, we were heartbroken to see the sign below them that said “Broken things”. I guess we’ll just have to live with the “beast” (a 50 pound monitor that we picked up at DI for $10 last year) for a little longer. It’s too bad we wont be in Utah for next years installment of the Surplus Sale.

We also went golfing yesterday, as it was a very beautiful day. We were matched up with these other two guys that we didn’t know, and they asked us if we were going to hit from the Blue tees (Men’s) or the Black tees (PGA level). We looked at each other like, “oh crap these guys are professionals” and answered, “oh probably the blue tees”. Well, after one slow and awkward hole, we just decided to let them play on and we’d just follow behind. We were glad because they were good and we were just there to have some fun and snap Zac out of his post-test-taking depression. And it might be the last beautiful and warm day before winter comes. Do you like my golf shoes?

Today we will be going to the BYU football game in the rain and wind and freezing ice weather. But we are still excited because, although many people may disagree with this, we are “fully invested” fans. No, we did not buy the Tshirts, but you know what, my BYU pride does not depend on which shirt I buy and don’t buy. This picture is from the last home game, and we will probably look similar at the end of todays game!
