(Disclaimer: So, things are crazy hectic around here right now, so posts on "the wax" might be slightly delayed this week. This post, for instance, will cover Saturday night and Sunday. "Why," you ask? Well, yesterday I came home to find my wonderful new iPod had been delivered, so most of my spare time has been involved in playing with my new gadget. Plus, I had a show last night and a show tonight, both of which will be covered in the following days. Please be patient, friends. I will update when I can.)
Anyway, Saturday night, Tanya, Caleb, Tasha, Kyle, and I went to a haunted house up in Ogden. It was $12 to get in, which is pretty standard around here, so I was hoping to leave with wet pants. No such luck. It was pretty much a nature walk with the occassional guy in a mask jumping out and screaming. Pretty weak. I'm hoping to go to another one down in SLC sometime this week.
Sunday, I slept in, then went down to SLC to watch The Constant Gardener, which was both sentimental and thrilling, beautifully photographed, and thought-provoking. Highly recommended.
After the movie, I went and had a soy latte at the Coffee Garden, a nice little cafe located in a rather artsy section of SLC. I think it's funny that they put in a Starbucks on the adjacent corner, but nearly everyone prefers the local place.
While I was having coffee, Kyle called and invited me to dinner with Drew and Chris, who live in Sandy (on the south end of SLC). So, I decided to just hang out for a couple hours at Liberty Park. Here's a few shots:
As you can see, it's a pretty big park. I like this shot because if you look really close between the rows of trees, you can see the mountains in the background.
While walking around the park, I heard drums, so I followed the sound until I found a bunch of hippies playing bongos and kicking around hackey sacks. I tried not to stare, but I probably stood there for at least thirty minutes. (Trish: I saw children rolling down the hill and thought of you.)
I came across angels in the leaves, and it made me smile for the rest of the afternoon.
I love spending time at the park. Just walking around and watching people and staring at the trees and the lake is so relaxing.

The park is the one of the few things I remember about life as a little kid living in Sandy...good stuff...:)

we are so doing that when you come out here. of course we might be rolling down a snow covered hill rather than a autumn leaf covered hill.
The angels are really neat. Very good idea whoever thought of that...made me smile too:) Hopefully you have much nicer geese in Uath then I have Minn.
