Community genius

We love the TV show Community. Love. It. And last night's episode was pretty much completely brilliant - a spot-on parody of Law and Order. Everyone needs to watch it so you can fully appreciate some of these more hilarious quotes:


(Troy and Abed as the cops, trying to end the scene)
Troy: “Looks like it’s going to be a long night. How did we manage to pull the short straw?”
Abed: “It’s not a short straw. It’s a hot potato.”
Troy: “Yeah, well. It looks pretty cold to me.”
Abed: “Cold? Or dead?”
Troy: “Survey says…”
Abed: “We can't both do the zinger.”


Starburns: "Kiss me.”
Random girl: “No!”
Starburns: “I’ll explain later!”
Random girl: “No!”
Starburns: “I’ll explain later!”
Random girl: “The explanation isn’t the issue!”


Troy: “Todd Jacobson, you have the right to do whatever you want. Nothing you say or do could be used against you by anyone, but we’d really like it if you came with us. Please and thank you.”


Professor Kane: "You may proceed, Ms. Edison. But do so with caution. Need I remind you: this is NOT a courtroom!"

Community

Sometimes I look up quotes from the TV show Community and I just laugh. For example...

Jeff: You know what makes humans different from other animals?

Troy: Feet.

Pierce: No, bears have feet.

Jeff: We're the only species on Earth that observes Shark Week. Sharks don't even observe Shark Week, but we do, for the same reason that I can pick up this pencil, tell you its name is Steve, and go like this -- *Breaks pencil in half; everyone gasps/cries out.* -- and part of you dies, just a little bit on the inside. Because people can connect with anything. We can sympathize with a pencil, we can forgive a shark, and we can give Ben Affleck an Academy Award for screenwriting.

Pierce: Abed, your social skills aren't exactly "streets ahead." Know what I mean?

Abed: I don't.

Jeff: You're not alone in this case.

Abed: Jeff, I think you should play the role of my father.

Jeff: I don't wanna be your father.

Abed: That's perfect. You already know your lines.

Troy: That's one of my biggest fears.

Abed: What is?

Troy: If I ever, like, woke up as a doughnut...

Abed: You would eat yourself.

Troy: I wouldn't even question it.

Some things I love

I feel like not much has been happening lately--it's just the same old, same old. Work, school, work, callings, work, house. And then all of a sudden, the pace picked up and life started to happen and big things might be changing. (No, I'm not pregnant.) I'm not going to tease you with all the things that are potentially going to happen until they are more official, but I will say that it's been so interesting to see how things fall into place when they are supposed to, and how things that didn't make sense earlier suddenly fit together. The lull in exciting things was nice, but I can't wait to see where these new developments are heading. (Is that enough of a teaser for you?)

So instead of news, a list of things I love, in no particular order (it's an update in its own way):

1. Our new shower curtain. Seriously, possibly the most exciting thing that happened last month was getting a new shower curtain, liner, and shower curtain rings. That really says something about last month, I think...

2. Our new griddle! I think Tim has cooked on it every other day since we got it (on mega sale, I might add), and I love it.

3. My sewing machine. I've been trying out some of the cute projects I've written up at work and it's just so much fun. Pictures to come...

4. Along those same lines, finishing my quilt! I still need to tie it, but I started this t-shirt/pajama pants quilt when I still lived in Provo...three years ago. Yeah, it's time to get it done.

5. Parking in the garage. Tim always gets home before me in the evenings (and usually leaves after me in the mornings), but he lets me park in the garage. Not just because my car fits better--because he's just that sweet.

6. Community. Oh. My. Hysterical. It's been a really, really long time since I laughed so hard at a TV show. Seriously.

7. Modern Family, the other best thing on TV. We started to catch up on the last few episodes and it was so great to watch it again.

8. My calling in the Primary. I'm the first counselor in our ward's Primary presidency and I love it! It took a few weeks to get used to it, especially because we have a very active and energetic Junior Primary, but the kids are so cute and funny and I am feeling more comfortable with it now. It's something I actually look forward to every week, if you can believe it.

9. Crystal Light drinks. Sugar-free and low calorie and soooo delicious.

10. Days that feel like spring. There have been a few delicious days of sunshine and warm breezes, and as soon as I get that whiff of grass and dirt, I get so excited for spring to come!
