Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted for so long! Whoops! It involves accidentally erasing emails and being pretty busy...Anyway, an update on me...

I am currently in the middle of one of the most fun and probably my favorite weekend of the year...COMICON INTERNATIONAL 2004!!! It is a totally geeky convention at the San Diego Convention Center for comics, sci-fi, fantasy, and all that jazz. It is totally fun. It started today and already I have had a blast. Tonight I went to the Star Wars Fan Film Awards which were awesome. A guy that works for Lucasfilm did a one man live show of his adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope (Episode IV). It was amazing. He did all of the voices and soundtrack and everything. He has seen Star Wars 475 times!! Tomorrow I am starting again bright and early. Tomorrow we plan on seeing Keanu Reeves and the guys who played Pippin and Faramir in the Lord of the Rings. Hopefully there will be some surprise guests!! And Jude Law is going to be there on Saturday for Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! I am very excited. Comicon is so fun. Some of you will definitely have to come with me one year. It is an experience. I will definitely post pictures once I have them on the computer.

On Monday I am flying up to Vancouver to see Mom and Dad and to join them for a Harry Connick Jr. concert in Portland. That should be fun. Then back to work until school starts at the end of August.

Life is good here. Church is good. I like my ward and I have a feeling I will be getting a calling soon. Work is good. We are losing a lot of cashiers to out-of-state schools but I know we will live through the inconveniences. Play time is good too. I try to get to the beach as often as possible to attempt a tan. Mostly I just hang out with my friends Bob and Derek and an assortment of others. It is a fun summer. School will be hard in the fall so I am enjoying the free time now.

I just read The Da Vinci Code. Excellent. Definitely recommend it. And for any fellow Jane Austen fans, The Jane Austen Book Club is a good book as well. I am currently trying to read all of the Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events so I am prepared for the movie coming out in December.

Good movies seen lately: The Terminal. Excellent. Napoleon Dynamite. Independent, very funny. Shrek 2. Funny, cute. Anchorman. A little dirty, but funny. Planning to see The Bourne Supremacy and The Village in the next couple of weeks. I will let you know how those are.

Love you all. It is fun to read this and know what you all are doing. I will try to keep up with it.
