Odds and Ends...
- Why a sore throat? Why people in the band? Why J-mo? Why Eric? (Why anyone?) And now...why me? Noooo... Can I take Actifed and Mucinex intravenously? I'm popping pills like candy to keep the symptoms at a minimum. Not bad yet, but something funky (and painful) is happening in my throat. It's been creeping into my life for the past several days, but the feeling tonight has got me...concerned...
- I'm a new-song-chord-chart-making freak. For the past two days, I've used most of my time working on new songs for the band to play. As of now, I've made 15 chord charts of various songs by people like Matt Redman, Jeff Deyo, Chris Tomlin, Third Day, and others... This has actually been fun. If I can reach my goal of 20 songs by rehearsal Saturday, then I've made a LOT of progress (and accomplished what I need so I can get the songs into the hands of band members). Lord knows, our 'playlist' has needed a more significant update than 1 or 2 songs here and there.
- Playing Halo 2 with a mouse and keyboard. Yes. I can actually aim. I can make it through levels on the FIRST try. Just need to figure out how to sit and be comfortable. Comfortable or not, it's actually kind of cool to sit in front of a 42" monitor and play games the way I'm used to playing them...well, the way I prefer playing them. I'm pretty good with a controller, but the mouse/keyboard combination is pretty much second nature. The only thing worse than spending the $20+ shipping charge to get the adapter here from Hong Kong is the realization that I'm a bigger nerd than I already thought I was.
- Speaking of Halo 2, the "Arbiter" is really cool.
- As if to prove the age-old adage that a child will not learn a stove is actually hot until they actually touch the burner, Kailyn ignored Stacey's warning tonight and decided to place her fingers on a burner that had just been turned off. Much screaming and crying followed...again. Her pain is gone, but the headache the screaming induced in me remains. Tylenol, anyone?
- Stacey and I cooked dinner for Dana and her fam tonight. Why? They've had a very busy week, so we thought we'd be nice. Food was good, and we got to eat with friends without spending lots of $$. Still, I'm having to constantly resist the urge to partake in Lobsterfest... Mmm...lobster...(insert gurgling sound in my throat here).
