Feb 29th

Maybe it's just a Provo thing, or maybe I wasn't paying attention when I was a freshman, but apparently "Leap Day!" is a thing?? One person definitely told me "Happy Leap Day!!" in passing, and they had a jumping (leaping) contest thing in the student center during lunch. I'm just curious if this happens everywhere and if it has always been this way? Or did I forget that I live in Provo.


p.s. my sister Emily was born on 29th. so cool.

Unicorn City

On Saturday I saw Unicorn City with Shawn. It's a movie about these Dungeon and Dragons type gamers who play out their gaming adventures in a utopian society in the mountains. The main character organizes the whole thing in order to get a job, and it leads to online gaming adventures being played in the real world with fight scenes, love drama, and "experience points" all mixed in together.


The director of Unicorn City worked on Napoleon Dynamite. It hasn't been released nationally (yet) but I wanted to post the trailer for it so you guys can check it out. Watch out for "Uncle Rico" from Napoleon Dynamite in the trailer:
