For those of you who aren't aware or have never been to the Hare Krishna Temple here in Utah, you should definetley go at least once! It's a neat experience, and a fascination I have had for the last three-four years. To be somewhere and learn of a different culture is like feeling you are out of Utah for the night. Festival of Colors just happens to be one of the events my husband and I attended last Saturday.

We weren't able to make it to the good stuff (costumed dancers, burning of the god, throwing of colors), however we made it to the concert where there was some more throwing of colors and other crazy things students tend to do. I wouldn't recommend going later unless you are a student, or enjoy concerts where it is mostly students. I would recommend going early to see the things I mentioned, or to other festivals, like the Llama Festival, Festival of Lights, or India Festival.


By the way I love Indian food as long as it's not spicy, chicken korma is my favorite. For more information about the Hare Krishna Events please visit their site here.

My husband was telling me the other day that I have a lot of pet peeves, so I thought it would be interesting to some to know what they all are. Keep in mind that most people fit into my pet peeve list at one time or another but yet I still like them so don't take it personally, this is just for fun!

My pet peeves are (not in any particular order):

1. When people say they will do something and don't (phone calls, girls night out).
2. When others have a bad estimate with time (more than a half hour-like my hubby lol).
3. When someone you are walking beside is carrying a big bag on the side that you are walking (they tend to bump you with it).
4. People who cut you off on the road.
5. People who slow down on the road just because they see an accident CLEAR off to the side of the road (or someone pulled over), which by the way isn't blocking the road.
6. When people use the carpool lane without having another passenger!
7. When people talk during movies (thus my post of "24 Means No Talking").
8. Me being the initiator of most things (it would be nice if someone else took the initiative of calling, writing, planning, etc.).
9. Friends that forget you when they have a baby.
10. This one is kind of touchy but I get hurt feelings when friends forget my birthday. Don't worry if you did, I'm quite use to it-November is a hard month to remember. I mean we should all be better at remembering friends and families birthdays.
11. When there are certain "cliques" in Church and work. I mean how are you suppose to meet new people when everyone always keeps to their own little group!
12. Roommates (or hubby) being cluttered and pushing things to the side calling it clean.
13. When people don't really listen to what you are saying.
14. People who carry on the conversation themselves and don't allow any room for you to talk.
15. Little dogs-especially the ones that bark constantly.
16. When someone decorates or cooks with things that just don't go together.
17. Workaholics.
18. Parents who don't control their children when at a guest's house.
19. People who chew loud or with their mouth open.
20. Parties that only consist of board games all the time.
21. Kids/Adults who only talk about or live for video games and T.V.-there is so much more to life!
22. Having to go to work on a cold, snowy day.
23. Having to work in general.
24. Others who run red lights, when it is clearly the green light peoples turn!

So please tell me I'm not the only female who has a big list of pet peeves. Tell me that someone agrees with at least one of these pet peeves or have some of there own! Really I would like to know, please leave a comment.

I just have to say that 24 is by far my favorite TV show (that and House), it has been for like three or four years. This season is especially one of the best along with season 1. It's getting really tense, which actually makes my heart beat faster when I watch the stressful scenes! This season I am actually watching it live with some friends, as opposed to watching it when it comes out on DVD.

This week was a two hour extremely tense episode. I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it or try to describe it all to those who never watched it, but basically the President in the show is held captive in the White House by terrorists. Anyways when I get into my movies I do NOT LIKE TALKING. Mind you I don't like to be rude but I can't take it anymore! One of the people that come over to watch 24 is a couple with a toddler that is like 18 months. He is really cute, and sometimes he doesn't distract me (I do get distracted easily); however this time he was really fussy for the two hour episode! We paused it five times (watching it live from a lab top) just so we could wait for him to stop whining. Not only that the father likes to talk alot about his theories of the show, or what he knows about this or that, and that get's really old. Save it for the breaks for crying out loud!

Okay so I totally like these people, but I prefer to to watch it on my own! I mean what would you do if you really like being with your friends for once a week and get out of the house. However it's not your house to tell people not to talk? I already have asked twice so kindly before and that hasn't worked. But the baby whining the whole time...well that was my last straw, 24 is just not for talking or for whining babies!

Just had to get that out!!!!
