Entertainment

One of my favorite forms of entertainment is reading the Statemen's Police Blog each week Some are laughable. Our police friend tells us that much more happens on campus than gets reported. So I think the paper pick and choose the most entertaining ones.


• USU Police responded to a fire alarm in the San Juan Hall building. The alarm was activated by a resident who was blow drying her hair too close to the smoke detector. The alarm was silenced and reset without any further problems.

• USU Police received a delayed medical report. It was reported that a parking gate hit a female in the head as she was walking in the area where the gate comes down after a vehicle went through. The female received medical attention, which included glue stitches to the forehead.




• USU Police responded to Wasatch Hall for a
Fire Alarm. A student did not remove a pizza
from the box before he cooked it. The Officer
educated the student on the proper way to
cook a pizza and how to deal with smoke in
the kitchen. The alarm was reset.

• USU Police responded to a noise problem. Contact was made with the renter who stated that he was putting together a dresser and was using a hammer.

Maybe we should report our missing wires and signs. Ha

What's Going on Around Campus

Posters & Signs

Lets Start with activities relating to Valentines Day










Or perhaps we could say Happy Valen-twaing Day.
I thought this was a clever slogan for a Western Dance












I"m not sure what this poster means. Is there a double meaning?









I have attended Helicon West several times and read two of my essays. It's open mike and anything goes. No censor




















Ever heard of a Hunger Banquet. Almost sounds like an oxymoron








USU is having a film festival.

















This poster caught my interest because it
was hard to read. When I moved away
from the poster I could read it better.
Still not sure about the last word.















Lauri and I saw this poster on the Aggie bus.
On campus there's much talk of diversity in ideas,
culture etc. Now they want Unity in Diversity. Come on Make up
your mind. Which do you want?

Missing Wires Mystery

Case of the missing wires.

Lauri and I were busy cutting when Cheri arrived and said. "Where's the wires?"

"What wires?"

"The wires that hold our signs." Sure enough two wires stretched across the hall and two of our banners were missing. Who would do such a thing? Even the hooks had been pulled from the wall. After Cheri, started cutting hair, she insisted that I call Allen in custodial.

"He's your friend, you call him since you have more clout." I called anyway and left a message,. "This is Angela in the Barber shop I'm calling as Cheri's secretary, our barber shop has experienced a theft. Two wires with two of our banners are missing."

It seemed only minutes when Travis appeared in the hall with a cart and ladder and wire to repair the damage. I thought this was quick service.

No, Custodial had received 4-5 calls about the missing wires before I called.

The new wire

The new wire with our

remaining sign re attached

Who would do such a thing? Our postman

Kevin gave me the clue.

" It must have been that wild Marti Gras

party on the weekend."

The Statesman 's Monday headline. "Mardi Gras Arrests higher this year than 2010 event." Sounded like a wild night. Upon further inquiry I read that officers issued three alcohol arrests citations. No arrests were made last year. Another example of a true statement sensationalized in a headline.

Actually I doubt whether someone intentionally stole the wire. They probably, tried to chin them selves, high jump it or tried to swing on it which ripped out the hardware. "Looks like we pulled out the wire, we better get rid of the evidence."

The Marti -Gras theory made sense to me.

Reward: to anyone who can find the perpetrators of this theft or

to who can locate the missing signs.

We promise to cut 4,000 hairs off the person's head

Birthday Lunches/ Cone heads

Another year has passed and Nancy, Kathy and I have turned a year older. Following our tradition we go out to eat. Lest you think I’m dwelling on the past, I remind you I'm going back in time on my blogs. With Noel in and out of the hospital, I got behind on blogging.

So lets start with my birthday in November and our night out. Ruby Tuesday won out, close, convenient, hadn't been there since it was Marie Callenders Pie place.

On Wednesday night it wasn't very busy and was very quiet. That's why we chose it over Texas Roadhouse, which is across the street, where they are rowdy and throw peanuts on the floor. I felt a little sorry for Ruby Tuesdays since they weren't very busy and was glad we chose them.

While we wait for our order I start shooting pictures of each other, another tradition. I’m going to include a photography lesson # 2 at this point. ( My first lesson was how to shoot a parade in my August Blog.

Lesson, #2 avoid clutter in the background, check for sticks, trees, plants and etc coming out of heads.

I shoot Kathy and Nancy and use their heads to cover up the clutter in the background.

They shoot me. I like the pose and smile but Here's Mrs. Lamp Head

Try again, that's better.

Nancy shoots Kathy & I.. Why are there two lights between the heads? Ok lets have some fun with this.

I go against rule #2 and make cone heads out of Nancy and Kathy.

Kathy makes a cone head out of Nancy & I. . Gee This fun breaking the rule.

We start laughing and giggling while looking at our pictures. The quiet desired restaurant be comes noisy because of our own silliness. Our food arrives and we were ravenous and eat without taking a pictures.

We got free desserts because of my birthday.

We ask the waitress to take our pictures but it's lousy because it's too dark.

In the lobby while we wait for Kathy to pay, Nancy decides to sip a cup of tea, if she could just pick it up.

Afterwords we shop at Sam's Club and use

Nancy's card. Last year we shopped at the

mall. Another fun filled evening with the girls.

Thank you Nancy and Kathy for such a fun evening.

On the weekend Joseph and Kim came to visit Noel and take me out to another birthday dinner. Where shall we eat? I thought Ruby Tuesday was delicious and wanted to return.

I shouldn't have felt sorry for Ruby Tuesday on Wednesday because we had a twenty minute wait to be seated Friday night.

In a different booth I started shooting pictures to pass the time waiting on our order.

I get creative

Joseph gets creative

Since I had the method of Cone Heads down,

why not try two heads under one cone?

Agains breaking rule #2 It's so fun to break rules.

I had yummy salmon so delicious. Thank you very much Joseph and Kim.

Now jumping ahead to Jan 2011 we celebrated Nancy and Kathy's birthday last week. Sticking close to home we ate at the the Main Street Grilll in Preston. We have loved this place in the past, but they went out of business. But now they are back, located inn the Old Snootey Cat, Shipleys Restaurant, Tony's/ Tampico, and a host of other names and owners.

Call it boredom or whatever, I start taking pictures again. I used to wait until the food arrived. Now I start early.

The glass pose

Kathy looks like a model. I try it and look clutsy.

Here Nancy has spikes. ( unintentional)

I've learned how to get free dessert.

First tell the waitress that we are celebrating birthdays. Then ask them to sing Happy Birthday. Sometimes they sing but if they don't they offer free dessert. At the Main Street Grill, they were good sports and sang plus gave us yummy cheese cake.

Happy Birthday All, now we're a year older.
