Huh...What?

...ooooookay...

So, on some tabloid program this evening, the information on the subject of the show included: "Update on the death of Michael Jackson." My initial thought was, "Yup, he's still dead." I mean, no offense to the man, his legacy, his family, anything...him, but I'm certain they could have made their point differently. "More news following Michael Jackson's death." There, I just did it.

4

weeks

This post simply marks 4 weeks of daily posts in my Every Day an Entry mission. This is certainly the month with the highest post count...might even be the one with the most comments, too.

The best way to fill time is to waste it.

A Bunch of Guitar Hero-ing

First III, then World Tour, now Aerosmith

On a trip to Fred Meyer some time ago, I marveled at the price of Guitar Hero Aerosmith, guitar controller included. It was less than an off-brand guitar controller alone...on clearance. I thought it would be nice to have it for the controller so that Genevieve and I can play together on the other Guitar Hero games we have. But, at the time, I thought differently of getting it.

Raspberries

WIC

In the midst of retrieving something we left in Salem the last time we were there, we went and got some fresh produce...as in farm fresh. Among the produce were some yummy, yummy, yummy raspberries. Have I said yummy, yet?

Vegiburgers are wrong.

Lutheranism

A Reformation Day...of sorts

I have always thought of June 25 as a second Reformation Day. It's not halfway to October 31. It's not surrounded by any other holidays (unless, like me, you consider the Nativity of St. John the Baptist a holiday). But, today is special, nonetheless, in the Lutheran Church.

They Come in Threes

  1. Ed McMahon
  2. Farrah Fawcett
  3. Michael Jackson

Since the last two died today, I'm sure Fawcett's death and "rememberance" will be overshadowed by Jackson's.

Now, if someone else famous dies...do we expect two more?

No, That's Not a License Plate With a Hidden Meaning

So, it seems the parties in Formula One have come to an agreement, if only temporary. So, for next year at least, there will be only one world-wide (ahem, not quite) premier racing series and championship. The current agreement lasts only through 2012. What will happen after that is only anyone's guess.

However, I can't help but wonder what next season's controversy will be.

The Nativity of St. John the Baptist

Happy Johnmass

Prepare...that's the theme of this man's message. Today, the Church observes his birth, as he was six months older than his greater cousin, God Incarnate, Jesus Christ. The readings...

GAP Night

Can't Stay Long

Sorry, playing Burnout Paradise with GAP. I've been a member for several years, only now really getting involved. It's fun...GAP is a great group of people.
