Here’s Bryan’s, err…. I mean, Ralphie’s Halloween costume.

My Fairy Princess and the Deranged Easter Bunny

If for some reason you have not watched the best part of the best holiday movie of all time, or perhaps if you simply want to watch it again, here it is…

June 2010 Review

Jared Smith — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 05:36:32 +0000

It’s been a while since I posted – still getting over the lost shrimp, I guess. So here’s a quick update on what’s been happening lately:

We went on a handcart trek. It was fun, exhausting, and uplifting. My 4 X great grandfather died at Martin’s Cove. Sad. It was in the middle of Wyoming – a very long drive. In 150 years, my ancestors will probably honor me by riding on a bus for 7 hours.
The Supreme Court ruled that white AND black men in Chicago can own guns and Senator Robert Byrd kicked the bucket on the same day. Coincidence?
I just got back from my 7th trip to Oklahoma. They really like all-you-can-eat buffets there.
Abbie and I have earned 220 of the 241 stars in Super Mario Galaxy 2. I haz mad Nintendo skillz.
I might go to India and Singapore later this year. Cool, except for the 52 hours it takes to get there and back part.
If you fly from Japan to Utah, you arrive an hour before you leave.
My travel agent forgot to pay for my Oklahoma plane ticket. I learned this at the airport. The lady at the ticket counter wanted $1420 to fly there that night. I replied, “I said Oklahoma, not Okinawa.” She didn’t find it funny. I stayed in West Valley City that night.
The La Quinta Inn in West Valley City reeks of marijuana smoke. At first this totally bugged me, but after a while I was cool with it.
A bunch of hoodlums made a mess of Toronto while protesting the G20 summit. Good thing us ‘right wing nut jobs’ don’t protest it or we’d have taken over Canada.
My sister found a spot between her toes. It was cancer. They cut it all out. I found a spot too. I got to wear sexy paper underwear at the doctor’s office. They cut the spot off. I find out soon if it’s cancer too. Stupid toes!
iPhone 4. I have one.
Mary spent a week at girls camp. I watched the kids. They really missed their mother even though we ate at McDonalds.
My son just said, “I want nunchuk skills.” We’ll work on him not peeing on the bathroom floor first.

I’m a little spider…

Obligatory Halloween Photos

(“Obligatory” meaning that if I didn’t post pics, Mary would be obliged to hurt me)

Fun with explosives

Jared Smith — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:28:00 +0000

Last week was the annual Smith family reunion, which typically means my brothers, brothers-in-law, and I get together and shoot things. We decided to spice things up this year with some Tannerite – a fully legal explosive that makes a ‘small’ explosion when you shoot it. Loads of fun ensued.

Enjoy the video. Be sure to click the HQ button for best quality.

To see how the rest of our reunion went, please reference this Christmas video.

Discoveries in toddler cognition #742

Jared Smith — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 02:18:21 +0000

An informal scientific study has found that at one year and 344 days the human brain cannot yet deduce that a neighbor kid swinging will suddenly reappear in the same space he was a few moments ago regardless of whether your head has now assumed that space.

In other astonishing news, our other child does NOT have a black eye.

One year old + Cocoa Puffs = Mess!
