UNDERWORLD II : Evolution

I like dark movies. Brotherhood of the Wolf, Matrix, The Cell, Underworld.... I'm a fan of them all.
Recently we went to see Underworld II : Evolution. It was great : vampires and the whole bit. But why do they have to throw in the obligatory sex scene? I really don't get it... does anyone really enjoy it? It just seems so pointless to me. They say that sex sells, but who is going to go see Underworld for the 20 second sex scene? I don't think that the scene helps this movie sell --- but what do I know...

24

If you haven't been watching the show 24, you should start. It's not too late to jump in. Trust me, Jack Bauer is worth it. In honor of the season premiere, we had a little party at our house...here are some pics.

I can sell it now, after passing my exam....

Where Have I Been?

I don't know really. Right now I'm working one of my last 2 papers that I need to finish for this semester.

Recently we had a Christmas party with eveyone from the Reunion music team over. We packed our house out, and it was a great time. Here's some pics.

Holiday Decorating

I braved Garden Ridge. I barely made it out alive.
But our house is very festive now. In fact, it's the best on the block.

My favorite Trick-or-Treaters....that I MISSED...

Rarely do I ever miss things because of work - but I missed both of these tricksters last night.

Homecoming

So. I'm not the biggest Waco fan out there...but Elaine and I are traveling back to Waco this weekend to participate in a few Homecoming festivities (yes...we're actually going to the game) and to eat at some good spots....Kitok's, La Fiesta, and Ninfas (in no particular order).
We're also visiting our old home church Greater New Light Missionary Baptist Church.

Great Concert

Last night, Elaine and I went with some friends Simri & Shawn Davis (for more on Shawn check out The Whetstone and Jeff Berry Band) to see Nichole Nordeman in concert. It was a great concert. Not only are all her songs original, beautiful, and worshipful, but she also presented some great testimony. She incorporated scripture and some dang good theology compared to a lot of the other junk that's out there right now.

Stoneleigh P

I found my new favorite burger in Dallas. The Stoneleigh P. Pumpernickel bun, provolone cheese, and homemade garlic mayo make this burger awesome. Great atmosphere, too. On Maple and Wolf in Uptown. I highly suggest it.

The Fair

Elaine and I went to the fair with a lot of folks from Reunion Church to celebrate the church's 8th anniversary.
I have grown up going to the fair pretty much my whole life (in Waco) - and I remember the hot dogs, funnel cake, cheap glittery motorcycles you ride on a track, little ducks floating in water, and my sister taking me on the Zipper (which I ended up falling in love with).
This year I was on a mission to find the fried peanut butter and jelly - but couldn't find it anywhere....so Elaine and I decided to ride the ferris wheel - since neither of us have and it's the biggest thing there. I guess I didn't know the fair was so dang expensive. $11 just for us to ride that thing that went around twice. Rip off.
If you went to the fair and really did it right, you'd have to spend well over $100 to ride stuff and to eat....and I think that's pretty crappy. To me, the fair is supposed to be a place where you can look at the new cars...and also be surrounded by some nostalgic things unique to Texas - not a place where you have to blow your inheritance to take your family and kids....I mean...skip it and go ride The Cave at Sixflags...

R.I.P.

The New Way to Meet Neighbors

Today, I'm reading Bingham's History of the Church when I hear a knock on the front door.
I open it and see an older lady that lives down the street from us, who I've seen while walking the dog and such. She says that's she's in a 'situation' and needs my help.

I offer for her to come in, but she says she needs my help at her place. After I throw on a T-Shirt, I go outside and follow her down the street. She explains that she's locked herself out of her house because she lost her garage door opener.

We walk into the back yard and there is a ladder right next to a window. She asked me to crawl through it and open up one of the doors. So I shimmy my way into her bedroom in a small space between her bed and nightstand and go to the back door to let her in.

After she thanked me, I told her my name was Jerod. Her name is Betty. And now we're neighbors.

Weird Dreams

So I've been having some crazy STUPID dreams lately....I've seen myself working in a fried chicken restraunt, complete with the little paper hat thing.
But last night's dream was especially odd and cool. I was riding in a huge purple car...maybe an Impala..

Something like this car. Anyway - I'm riding along with Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg. We pull up to a huge metal-ish warehouse and walk towards the front door. I open the door, peer inside, and turn back around to Snoop and say, "Do you roll with 50 cent?" He says, "No" and the next thing I know we're running back to the car. Gun shots ring out, I'm lying down in the back seat, and I get shot in the stomach. Then I wake up.

Dream interpretations welcome.

Creepy Love Tape

Some 19 year old guy made this little tape for his girlfriend for their 6 month anniversary. She broke up with him days later.

Listen to it.


Speaking of anniversaries, Elaine and I will celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary on Wednesday.

Stupid Joke

Here - have a cheap laugh.




Three third graders were walking down the street: a redhead, brunnette, and a blonde.
Which one had the best figure?
The blonde - she was 18.

Was It That Bad?

Well. Pretty much.
I survived the first full week of classes at DTS. I feel like it pretty much owns my soul. Hopefully that will get better. Or maybe there's a pill or something for that feeling.
Bingham's church history class is at the top of my list.

A New Feeling

of complete dread.
I guess up until this week I've been kind of looking forward to going back to school and hitting all the books at DTS. But something about this being the last week before school starts again makes me have that feeling I used to get when I had to go back to school after Christmas break.

I can't explain the exact reason why - maybe it's the Greek or the no flip-flops rule. Maybe suicide greek left a bad taste in my mouth....

Anyway - I'm probably the only one who feels this way. I'm sure all of the other good DTS-ers (excluding Matt who doesn't have to ever visit campus) are more than thrilled to go back.

16th months

My niece is my newest and youngest piano student. If only my adult students could have such great posture.

I'm spying on myself

Matt recently showed me GoogleEarth. Amazing. You can check out anyplace on the globe with this thing...
Makes you wonder just how much big brother does know....
