out of sheer boredom
a couple of adam’s friends made this video while bored. it made me laugh mainly because i’ve seen my kids and their neighborhood friends doing the same thing around here.
“the dark knight” as an old school console game
this is so spot on.
ted talks
i meant to include this in yesterday’s “thorn birds” inspired random thoughts post but i forgot to do so. so here goes.
if you are not presently regularly listening to the ted talks, then you should stop what you are doing right now and go subscribe to them via your rss reader or podcast aggregator. they are consistently good. obviously i don’t always agree with them but only an idiot sees truth and wisdom in just the things he/she agrees with. the ted talks are one of the regular podcasts that i listen to and i am usually very thankful for that.
run fatboy run
pam and i watched “run fatboy run” last night (in continuation of our lazy CHRISTmas day). it was a pretty decent little movie. i think the fight scene is one of the most enjoyable fight scenes i’ve ever seen.
A CHRISTmas story
all the males in the terrell family absolutely love this movie. it gets better and better every time i watch it. i am saddened to admit that my lovely and intelligent wife doesn’t like the movie. she doesn’t like the princess bride either. sometimes i just don’t get her.

netflix on xbox 360
the new xbox 360 update is great. my kids think the new dashboard with its avatars are wonderful and we all think having our netflix account on the xbox is terrific. i wasn’t sure how good the quality of the video stream would be but it is wonderful. watching the office and heros on the stream is a good thing. great update.
SIDE NOTE – there are many reasons that i hate it when pam is gone but the one last night was because the cats meow a lot at night when she is gone. stupid cats.
Senior Adult Choir Hip Hop
this is great and i so wish that i had done then when i was doing youth ministry (right now i’m the closest thing to a senior adult we have at tapestry).
the senior adult choir agreed to sing parts of hip hop songs for an intro to a youth ministry thingy. what a great way to get senior adults and youth together on something, cross a few boundaries, and make a great video at the same time.
