Pi Party 2009


(Be sure to ENLARGE this picture)


Saturday night, I had the good fortune of attending the most happening Pi Party in Provo! It was hosted by apartment 314 by my beautiful and gifted friends Riz and Manda. There were pies of EVERY assortment; I tried them all.

My Two Highlights of the Night

1. Cherry Chipotle Pie - Have you guys tried that stuff?! You can see it in the picture above; it's the one in the plate the guy is holding. While eating it, I imagined it was similar to drinking burbon from a bottle! HOT, HOT, HOT!!! Hands down, the most unique pie I've ever tasted. Thanks Lundy.

2. Guitar Hero: World Tour - As the night progressed the crowd was hard pressed to find willing band members. At one point, I performed [unsuccessfully] the roles of both the lead guitar and vocalist. The song was an edited version of "Santaria" by Sublime. Confident, since I recognized from an 8th grade Spanish class back in 1996, I placed my empty water cup in my shirt pocket and rested the mic in the cup. I quickly discovered that my eyes could not follow both tracks of notes without serious consequences.

Even though I failed the song for the group, I felt pretty good about making it almost to the chorus. But I was still kicked out of the band.

    Bryan! Do you have other pictures of our party? Amanda and I are sad that we forgot to properly utilize our cameras during the event.

    Also, I was way impressed with your Guitar Hero talent.

    Thanks for the enlarge tip - that was AWESOME! What an assortment of pies. Last night Rick finished off over half a peach pie by himself since the peaches were turning.

    Oh man, that first picture was intense! Thanks for the enlargement tip. I tried something similar to the cherry chipotle the other day. It was fire and ice cake with habanero added to mint ice cream cake. yikes!

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l
