The six (ish) degrees of who?

Just wondering how many people will get why this was funny. Kev and I were talking in the car today, and the subject of that wretched Alien movie came up. (Resurrection?) I asked him who was in it, and he responded [sic] "Sigourney Reaver". His slip made us both laugh. Did anyone else get the joke and giggle?

Buy This DVD Now!

Serenity came out yesterday on DVD.
This movie rocks! You need to buy it.
It's based on the equally rocking, yet short-lived and canceled TV series Firefly.

Buy these DVDs from the links here, or from Amazon.com or from your local retailer -
Just BUY THEM!

You won't be sorry.

Rubi and I came to be Firefly fans only recently. In fact, I only watched the shows just before the movie came out in theatres. Rubi only started watching shortly after that. Now we're big fans.

I've subscribed to two different Firefly podcasts. And just today, I became a Browncoat!

MCFAT Vol. IV

MCF has another Astonishing Test.

 

1) Does the departure of any one radio disc jockey, no matter who it is, merit a radio station changing its name, firing some DJs, and hiring others as they rearrange their schedule? I'm thinking specifically of 92.3 KROCK, soon to be known as “92.3 FREE”, but readers are free to answer the question on general principal.

Absolutely Not.

2) What's the absolute worst last-minute gift you've ever given someone, and how do you feel about it today?

Can't remember.  I'm sure there were bunches though.

3) Which song would you say most influenced and/or changed your taste in music?

Either: One Vision by Queen, because before I heard that song during the Iron Eagle movie, and subsequently bought the soundtrack, and then everything else by Queen - I hadn't really listened to rock music, or classic rock (or movie soundtracks either).
Or: Beethoven's 9th Symphony, specifically, the last movement.  If I hadn't heard this particular piece of music in music class, I probably wouldn't given a rat's behind about classical music. Now I love it.

4) You can either have a passive mental super power, or an active physical one. Which would you prefer and why?

What defines "passive" in this situation. Passive as in I just sit there and do stuff with my mind, or passive as in my powers don't have a physical effect?  Let's say my passive mental power is to be able to completely and thoroughly communicate with electronic devices. Does that count.  Being able to do this, I could reprogram or influence devices, computers, toasters, ATMs etc. to do my bidding.  Is that passive?

Active Physical Power: Comedy!

 

5) Would you be comfortable with fame?

Maybe.

6) Since people thought the last test was too hard, I'll throw in an easy one: list as many prepositions as you'd like.

"Hey baby, is it hot in here, or is that just you?"  Oh wait, you said prEpositions... Dang! These tests are too hard!

Pointless Post

Because we haven't posted anything in about a week, I present you with:

The Pointless Post!

I'm thinking about changing the name of this blog to:


a) Hot Chick and Fat Guy.



b) A Dork and The Girl Who Puts Up With-I mean Loves-Him


c) Why is that pretty lady lounging in front of a cardboard cutout of some strange guy?

Okay, not really.
Like I said: Pointless post.

Pointless Post

The worst Christian witness on the planet.

Okay, maybe I'm not THAT bad, but I'm not all that great. Ugh. We took one of Elizabeth's friends, C., to church with us today. When I dropped her off at home, she announced to her mom that she wanted to be baptised. Mom, who I don't think is a Christian, looked rather uncomfortable, and there was silence all around. [cringe] So I piped up, and babbled for a few minutes about how it was something she needed to discuss with her mom, and that there were some classes our church would want her to take first. She said it again a few minutes later, and I fumbled again.

I totally blew it. There was a great opportunity to talk to her mom a bit and find out how much experience with Christianity C. has, what she knows, etc. C. has only been to church with us twice, and I think that's the only time she's been to church. She loves it, and wants to come more, but an alternating-weekend-custody thing prevents her from coming with us every weekend. I'm positive C. only is interested in Baptism at this point because of Elizabeth's recent Baptism, and because another one of their Bible study classmates was baptised today. But it was a great opening, and I feel like I dropped the ball.

Her mom and I talked more about the next time she could come with us. Next weekend is Dad's weekend, then it's Christmas, then it's Dad's weekend again, so the following weekend we can take her again. She was bummed about having to wait so long. I'm going to have to work harder at calling her mom on Fridays to let her know we can pick C. up if she wants to come.

The worst Christian witness on the planet.

Frosty

Today was the first snow of the season for us.
School let out at 11:30am and I brought the kids home.
A couple of hours later, the kids went out and played in the snow.
They made snow angels, had snowball fights, Elizabeth and Alexander seemed to be playing some kind of snow-tag, and Elizabeth made a snowman.
Forecasters say were supposed to get 2-3 inches of snow before it finishes up tonight. Right now, it looks like we've got less than an inch of it, plus some slush that fell for a few hours before the snow proper started.
