Today has been such a blah day. I’m tired, and my body doesn’t want to do anything. But there’s work to do, but it’s frustrating work. And things aren’t going right… I’ve broken a bunch of tiles today that I was trying to cut, to lay in the floor. Annoying. And I melted a brand new 21$ Dremmel bit yesterday. Stupid.

So yeah… tonight I’m skipping cell and am going to play Psi Ops all night. All freakin night. It’s a Pudd Night tonight.

I just remembered something particularly strange that happened to me a few nights back. Honestly, it was weird.

So I was lying in bed, very tired, at around midnight. I had not been lying there long, when all of a sudden, what I can only describe as a bright flash, zoomed passed… inside my head! Haha, I know I sound insane, but something whizzed past the back section of my brain. I heard it as well. I’m thinking perhaps it was just a bunch of nerves firing, like a thought “going-off” and because I was kindof dazed and sleepy, it awoke me.

Either that… or maybe… I don’t know. Strange. That’s all I can say.

…those Robotic Traffic Cones!

Spent Friday night and Saturday day in Kids Camp training. 5th year in a row now? It’s gonna be fun, I’m thrilled. Then I went downtown and met up with Mike and Bronnie, and Antonella (SP?) and we bummed around for a while, gave some money to a bum, and then went to Mike’s for a video.

Paycheck to be exact. I enjoyed it, but there were a lot of issues with the acting, and convincing line delivery, and I didn’t really feel the story was told very effectively. But it was alright, maybe a 6.5/10.

I bought myself a copy of Psi Ops : The Mindgate Conspiracy. Silly name for a great game. Having lots of fun there. Got a free copy of Mortal Kombat : Deadly Alliance with it, I think I’ll give it to Russell.

Tonight I’m off downtown again with Maija and Mike, and Bronnie again I think, going to a church called Freedomize. Free dinner or something. I’m always up for free food.

I just got my template fixed. Or rather, Blogspot decided to let me pages load again. I don’t understand. Either way, I’m getting bored fixing this business over and over again.

But aside from that. Zing! Just got back from my first real date with my exquisite girlfriend, Maija MacLeod. Large smiles all round. Like any good first date, we went to see a movie. After dinner at Kelsey’s, we saw Troy, which neither of us had gotten around to seeing yet.

We quite enjoyed it. I think that in the end “The Iliad” is a rather difficult story to tell. There’s too many heroes, and too many soldiers bound to a timeline that’s too long. Given that, I think Monsieur Peterson did quite a good job. The casting was excellent, except I think more time should have been spent on the accent work. But still, a good film.

It was a pleasant evening. So easy and relaxed for a first date. I feel complete peace about this relationship. Honestly… there’s no anxiety, no worry whatsoever. It feels completely natural.

If anyone can actually read this – probably only the 2 using the XML feed – my template is broken again. I’m having trouble fixing it. I hate blogging. I will never blog again.

…very small change I just made.

Two good friends of mine recently picked out the song “Look What You’ve Done,” by Tree63 as being theologically unsound.

Here are the lines in question:

“It’s not a question of what you can do for me
But what can I do for you my Lord?”

I have spent the day since wondering what is so unsound about it?
Here’s the rest of the lyrics, if you’re interested:

Look what you’ve done for me
Your blood has set me free
Jesus my Lord look what you’ve done for me

Free at last I’m free
I owe you my life completely
Yahweh Yahweh look what you’ve done for me

Am I missing something? Are they missing something? I honestly don’t know. Someone shed some light on this for me.
