Mortgage Day
Thursday, September 1st, 2011Home D’oh
Wednesday, July 13th, 2011I am putting away my clothes, hanging up stuff in the bedroom closet, and I wonder to myself just what the capacity is on this wire shelving system they have, and thinking I should be careful about exceeding it, since I will have to fix anything that breaks myself. I put what seems like a reasonable load on each shelf and go to the bathroom for a minute. A few seconds later, crash and clatter, and sure enough, one of the support braces for the shelf that only goes halfway across the closet gave way. D’oh.
Christian House Music
Monday, August 31st, 2009It was the summer between jr and sr years of college. I was working at a christian summer camp. The owner installed a CD jukebox in the cafeteria, and one of the albums in it was Adventures in the Land of Big Beats and Happy Feets. They basically took some high-energy mixes of then-popular “contemporary christian” tunes, and linked them together with some odd little musical interludes. In many ways, I think the interludes are better than the actual songs. Every track is drenched in 80′s synth, and they all seem to have been chosen for their indirect lyrical references to God. It ends up being an overall enjoyable album, not overtly preachy, but clean enough for a church youth pastor.
