Here's to hoping that your weekend went well... mine wasn't too bad... little boy got the first trophy of what i'm sure will be a long and storied atheletic career... this one was for participating in the Upward Basketball League... the ceremony was accompanied by puppets and a magissionary... yes... anyway, he's extremely proud of his trophy, that's for sure...
a few things before we dig in... first, i was stuck in traffic this morning and i read through Psalm 91... i'd like to dig into it a bit further, but not today... today, i'm just working on digesting the though of "dwelling" in God's presence...
Next, i joined up with Technorati and unless i misunderstood, i think they're supposed to make me famous, but it all starts with you adding me to your favorites... i think... also... well... i forget... so let's just get going...
MARCH MADNESS
to the tune of We're So Far Away - Mae
The big news of the weekend is that the fields have been narrowed down to just four... Davidson, the last hope for a Cinderella story, put on a spectacular show up until the last 6 seconds of their game against Kansas... which leaves us with a Final Four consisting of all the #1 seeds... this is the first time that the selection committee has gotten all four correct... this will either make it a fantastic final three games or a very uninteresting one if you like underdogs... i'm undecided, but i'm not sure i'll even be around to watch anyway...
MOVIE TIME (brought to you by Netflix)
to the tune of Teacher's Pet - Doris Day
two more movies this week... hopefully quickly as my time is short... first up... SPIDERMAN 3... i finally got around to watching this, even though i've had it for a while... as expected, the special effects and the fight scenes were spectacular and the storyline was pretty well done as well... i enjoyed seeing the cocky Peter Parker strutting around the streets... very nice touch... the notion of forgiveness was nicely done and relayed to the audience in a powerful and entertaining way... bottom line... i give Spiderman 3 an A...
next up, i dig deep into the archives of Netflix (actually, my wife picked it)... and we come up with TEACHER'S PET starring Doris Day and Clark Gable... obviously, this is a romantic comedy, but Gable is a grizzled newspaper man and he stumbles upon a night school class teaching journalism... the story revolves around the romantic attraction between the two of them as well as a discussion about what journalism is and what it should be as well as whether or not it can be taught... it plays out very interestingly and i'm not ashamed to say that i enjoyed it... i'd give it a B+
THE WORLD AROUND ME
to the tune of Work - Jars of Clay
Well, with just under three weeks left, my GMA Week is shaping up to be pretty busy... i've booked somewhere between 20 and 26 interviews over the course of 2 days (waiting to hear back on a few, still) and i've been staring at the showcase schedules for a while, trying to decide which ones will be the most appealing... one thing's for sure, Robert Randolph is scheduled to play and i'm going to do anything i can to make sure i don't miss that one... it's already what i'm looking forward too most...
Other than that and my day job, i'm working on a number of writing projects including a concert review of the Tobymac, Jeremy Camp, and Matthew West show i went to a couple weeks ago, a few, yes few issues of Left to Write, a number of album reviews, a handful of interviews, and even more... all this and my "o" key is sticking... actually, it's been working pretty well tonight... maybe i fixed it... anyway... that's all for now, kiddos... remember to favorite me so i can get really famous or something...
peace... love... bdg...
