In honor of...

...the series finale of Chuck this evening, I am writing this post.

(IF you do not care about Chuck, Me, My obsessions, My Life, or The Buy More... skip down past the first 5 pictures because you just won't care about anything until after that. IF you LOVE Harry Potter or FRIENDS... make sure to read past those 5 pictures because I will make you GREEN with ENVY)

Chuck is (was?) such a great television show. I am (was?) addicted to it just a little bit. Except here's the problem... I haven't seen the finale yet! YES! I missed it. Shame on me. But shame on them! Shame on them (them meaning the people who decide when a show comes on) for putting Chuck in the worst time slot on television! 7 o'clock on a Friday night? Really people?! Anyway, I digress. That is not the reason for this post because I will just thieve it from my family's TiVo thanks to slingbox and watch it later. Maybe right now. Maybe not. Anyway. I'm not really very excited to watch it to be honest; I just don't want it to end. But it is killing me not knowing the ending. But anyway.. back to what this post is really about.

Over Christmas break (yes I know that was OH SO LONG AGO!), I had the opportunity to fulfill one of my lifelong dreams! Okay, maybe not lifelong... I exaggerate. Sue me. (Please don't sue me!) But as I was saying, I got to fulfill one of my dreams! I got to see THE BUY MORE. *Insert oohs and ahs here* Alrighty, well... the thing is, over Christmas break, I went on a Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Burbank, CA. (Chuck is set in Burbank for those of you scallywags who don't know this). At the time, however, I did not know that Chuck was indeed filmed in this location. I found out... oh maybe 10 minutes before my tour-IWASSOEXCITEDTHATICAN'TUSESPACES! Ahem. So I told our tour guide Rance (that rhymes with France... or Prance... or Dance... or Pants... sorta) that I LOVED Chuck. So he showed me some pretty neat stuff that I shall also show you!

This house was featured on an episode of Chuck... in the middle of Scotland. It was the home of Agent X if any of you hooligans know who that is. It's also the Seaver's house from growing pains. Pretty legit if you ask me!

This... has been in a lot of movies. And it served as part of Budapest in Chuck season 5.

This is me very excitedly standing next to THE NERD HERDER! :) 

I actually got to touch this computer that Zachary Levi too has touched. Shh.. don't tell because I don't think I was supposed to. :S

I forgot to turn it the right direction, but this is the orphanage from Annie. I'm not sure which version, but one of them.
These are the last things for real. Batmobile. :)

Willy Wonka! Pretty self explanatory no?

Anyway, that's just what the series finale of Chuck made me think of. So I thought I would tell you as I reminisce about 5 years of television... that were just so lovely. And nerdy. And full of subway sandwiches. *sigh* Yeaaaaah. Anyway, that's all. I'll give you an actual update about my life later. So much just keeps happening. :)

Anyway, peace out.

One day I'll be at least as famous as them... maybe more so

Well, Hello. Everyone else is apparently blogging again. It must be the new year or something, right? Anyway, I thought it would be fun to update everyone on my life. Woo. So I'm going to attempt to do this in a series of out of order blog posts. Today, I'm going to tell you what happened today. Later, I will tell you what happened earlier. See where I'm going with this? And then even later after that probably, I'm going to tell you what happens later. Coolio? So let's get started shall we?

Today, the cool dudes from The Buried Life came to UVU. If you don't know what the Buried Life is... then google it. Or watch it on netflix. Or read my brief explanation. If you know already, then skip this paragraph. My brief explanation: The Buried Life is these guys who decided to try and do all the things on their bucket list and film it all. They have a show on MTV. You can watch it on netflix as mentioned earlier. Also, when they do something on their list, they help a random stranger complete something on their list. That's pretty cool, right? Yeah.

Well, today they came to UVU to give us an inspirational little pep-talk. woot. It was pretty sweet. They pretty much told us to live our dreams and to turn them into "projects" because those are easier to complete than dreams. They also showed us a bit of their journey from a bunch of college kids to breaking into the playboy mansion and playing basketball with President Obama. They kept telling us how regular people can do "impossible" things. It was pretty sweet. And inspirational.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I have this knack for meeting sudo famous people. I got a chance to meet and greet them after their presentation and they were pretty cool. Here are some pictures.

This kinda blurry picture is from their presentation. 
This is me and the guys and 10 other random people. They were kind of trying to hurry us along. But Jonnie (in the green plaid shirt) has his arm around me. I feel pretty cool.

Well, that's really all the exciting stuff that's happened and it's not really that exciting. :) Really I just wanted to let you know that I'm not dead. So... I'm alive. Very much alive... mostly because I haven't finished my bucket list yet, so I can't die. But yeah. I hope you enjoyed this little update.
