I just ate little tiny pancakes for breakfast!

I am up in Idaho for the Fourth of July. It has been pretty fun thus far. It is currently Sunday morning and we got here on Friday afternoon. Let's just say that the whole even has been jammed packed full of festivities. These events included things such as

• Five Episodes of Lost
• A pretty amazing pyrotechnic display
  
• Little Tiny Pancakes

I was also just informed that it is Fast Sunday.. after we had already eaten. There are three really good ways to get out of eating food that I have learned across my life (only two if you're not a Mormon)

• Allergies (You can only use this once you know what the food is)
  
• Diabetes (A personal favorite for the last few weeks)
• Fasting

If I remember correctly, Hillier is currently teaching a lesson to the Relief Society. I don't remember the exact topic, but I think it is something to the effect of "Guys want to marry a girl who is blazingly attractive." I committed him to use the exact phrase "blazingly attractive." I'll bet he doesn't.

Fun new whiskey purchase: Full Metal Jacket Skull Candies. I got mine for far cheaper than you find them here. Did I need new earphones? No. Did I want new earphones? Not necessarily. Were they really cheap? Yes.

Other fun new purchase: Burn Notice, Season 2. Why did I buy this? I was in a mood to spend money and waste time...

Russian is a nasty, nasty language. I know this because I've been awake since about 6:00, and had not much to do than study Russian. Just remember the following rules and you'll be fine: B=V, H=N, 3=Z, P=R, and there is a fish letter which shows up every now and then. I just ignore it and seem to be doing just fine.

Overall, it has been a great weekend. No complaints. Met some great people. Saw a great dance show last night. Overall, it has been pretty awesome.
