Tablet Action

Okay, so the church studio has taken off and brought in some funds so that the media wing of the church can buy some new equipment that will aid us expanding our capabilities.
In other words, we bought a Wacom tablet pen. I love it. I want one of my own to bring home with me [...]

Dad’s Prayer

Remember the post in which I recounted the story of my Dad praying at Bobby Jindal’s inauguration, accompanied by a few pictures?
No?
Oh, well. Here’s the video (finally). It was finally sent in to us.

Licensed

I am now an officially licensed minister of the UPCI. I don’t have the license in hand yet (it takes several months to be sent from St. Louis), but just call me “Reverend.”
Actually, please don’t call me Reverend. Or Rev. Or Revvy. Or Ringo Starr
I woke up at 5:00 AM Monday morning, after having taken [...]

Day 4

Today marks my fourth straight day of exile. I have been lurching groggily through the chambers of Castle Dean.
I first started feeling weak on Wednesday afternoon. I was coughing a bit, feeling stuff, and knew what was coming. Thursday I went to my first class, then skipped the next two to go home and rest. [...]

Mum

I don’t consider myself to be a “mama’s boy,” but I’ve been severely pampered the past few days, while I’ve been sick. My poor mother has gone from house to house, accompanying a grandson to testing, taking care of her husband (kidney stone), and visiting her flu-stricken son.
Dad has no doubt been inconvenienced the most, [...]

Sick!

That would be me.
I’ve been lying either on my bed or my couch for the past 24 hours. I have whatever it was that my wife had last week. It’s a mixture of coughing (phlegm included), severe weakness, achey pain all over the body, fever, a sinus infection, and, in my case, a bit of [...]

Romney Gets Punk’d by Son

My friend Brad showed me this video of Mitt Romney getting punked by his son.
I thought it was pretty funny. Enjoy.

When the Wife’s Away…

…the husband will play?

No, not exactly.

The husband will sit in silence, prepare his message for youth service, and hope to God that he’s (the husband) not leaving something off his schedule that he should be remembering.

The husband will accidentally fall asleep reading on the couch and wake up at 4:35 AM. The dog’s sleep cycles [...]

I Had A Dream!

Not the noble, Martin Luther King kind, but a dream nonetheless. I’ve figured out that I only dream in two situations:
1. While taking a quick catnap.
2. When I wake up in the morning, but realize I have another 30 minutes two an hour before I actually have to wake up, so I go back [...]

Steve Jobs: Cuddly Pumpkin-Bear

From Apple Insider:
BusinessWeek’s Peter Burrows wrote a story a month ago that said Apple wouldn’t be able to get Sony and Universal to go along with an iTunes Store movie rental plan. Well, Burrows was wrong, and the two companies were definitely on board by the time Jobs delivered his yearly MacWorld keynote.
But Jobs is [...]
