The Lingos

Every Year, the New York singles gather for a short film competition called The Lingos (named, obviously, after of the greatest LDS films ever, Johnny Lingo).

Ryan created this movie with the help of Collin. I'm in it for about 2 seconds so...I thought I'd post it here (not to mention that it's true and a little autobiographical).

Enjoy!

To My Readers

Okay, okay people.

Good Job!

Seriously. You impressed me with that whole Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song. Don't you secretly want to sing that all the time? I do. There's something so rewarding about singing every memorized word of a rap song, even if it's from a theme song...wait, especially when it's from a theme song. I mean, come on...when you didn't even mean to memorize it? And it's just there in your brain even after 10 years and 100's of tests that you crammed for in college?

Just tell me, can anyone do that head move that Will does right at the end? You know, the one where he rolls his head down, back up and then in a circular movement like it's in a blender.
So cool.
So impossible for a white girl.

Um...I just inadvertently did it at my desk.
I can just hear my co-workers:
"And then did you see Calder? She was like flopping her head around and smiling. So bizarre. I mean, she's nice, but what was that?"

I've already convinced myself that they probably just think that I'm stretching my neck after a long day/week at work.

But let's get back to Will:

So yes KT, Jessica, and Megan. Of course I thought you'd get it. But to explain, I have 3 people on my "email-me-every-time-you-post" list.
My Mom
My Dad
My Sister Christine

Those are the only people that I'm pretty sure will read my blog at some point.
My Mom, whenever she happens to check her emails (2-3 times a month or so);
My Dad, when he's not busy;
and Christine, when she has time between feeding 7 mouths (seriously, if I had 7 kids I probably wouldn't even be able to zip up my pants let alone do things like check my emails. I would literally just run around in sweats all day long. My kids would probably all be in sweats too because I wouldn't have time to zip up their pants either. Don't even get me started on shoe laces...).

Although my love for them (i.e. the three on my list) has always been greater than even my annoyance for Carlton, these people do not know the theme song. Right?

And although they may feel like I'm calling them out at this moment (or in a few weeks when they get the chance to check), I'm not. You should feel pretty pleased with your life that you haven't watched so many TV hours that you have the theme song memorized. Good job.

However, I will be working with you on that head move when I'm home for Christmas.
