And the Random Knot Goes To...

This blog is for all of you Chuck fans out there...I fear it will be lost on anyone else.

As I was donating blood today, as always there was music playing in the background, but today it wasn't the usual local easy-listening radio station but rather the iPod of one of the phlebotomists. Whilst waiting I was entertained by many classic hits of the 80s and 90s including Hit me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar, The End of the World as We know it by REM and Video Killed the Radio Star by the aforementioned Buggles, only I couldn't remember it was the Buggles until I "googled" the song title and found an article on Wikipedia.

Open closer examination I discovered something shocking!

Remind you of anyone?

Can you honestly tell me, without a shadow of a doubt that this is not everyone's favorite rock duo JEFFSTER?

Didn't think so.

One might argue that The Buggles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Buggles) show no real resemblance to JEFFSTER.

You be the judge!

My 5 Minutes of Fame

Last week I helped at the National Genealogical Society Conference in Salt Lake City. I was there showing visitors a little bit of what I do on a daily basis working at FamilySearch. A fellow from the Deseret News snapped my picture while I was helping some cute little (unbeknownst to me until after the fact, I might have protested had I know what was happening). After taking down our names and telling us we'd be in the Mormon Times on Thursday the guy with the camera went on his merry way.

So, like any crazy person who wants to see her name in print I hunted down the print edition of the Mormon Times late Thursday night but I did not find myself there...Flash Forward to today when a coworker on the Elevator says "we need your autograph, you're famous!"

Famous, probably not, in print, yes, if you call the Internet "print" --

Check me out -- you might need a magnifying glass to spot me.

Granted it's not much to write home about, but one should take their fame where they can get it.
