Sunday Song of the Week (4/10/11)

So I neglected to do a song of the week again last week.  Sorry.  I almost didn’t do one this week but then I popped in Little Big Planet for the Playstation Portable and was instantly reminded of how amazing the music is in that game.  Take this little diddy for instance.  It is unabashedly [...]

Odd Conversation at the Laundromat

While sitting at the laundromat by myself waiting for my clothes to dry a little boy (probably about 10 years old) walks in. Boy: “Where are you from?” Me: “Around here.” Boy: “Where do you live?” Me: “A few blocks from here.” Boy: “You have any kids?” Me: “No.” Boy: “You married?” Me: “Nope.” Boy:

Sunday Song of the Week (3/27/11)

Perhaps it has been because my mind has been in several different places lately but Sundays have been sneaking up on me as of late (that might also be why I keep oversleeping and missing church). I’ve been in a bit of a rainy day mood today.  It’s not raining though it has been rather [...]

Recommends: Film Edition 2

It has been a while since I put together a recommendation piece and even longer since I’ve done a straight film edition.  So just in case you wanted to hear my take again I thought it might be time for another.  As with the first film edition I’ve borrowed the film descriptions from Netflix (in [...

Sunday Song of the Week

You know, I was really planning on doing another recommended films post this week but, as is my want, I let it slide onto the back burner.  Don’t let me forget to do that this week. On a similar unprepared note, I also neglected to pick out a song of the week before now so, [...]

Sunday Song of the Week (3/13/11)

Sorry there wasn’t a song of the week last Sunday.  It completely slipped my mind.  It very nearly slipped my mind this week but not quite. Lately Japan has been on my mind quite a bit since the huge disaster that struck there this week.  It is a tragic situation that landed heavily on my [...]

Prayers for Japan

Right now my thoughts and prayers are going out to the people of Japan and along the Pacific coastline.  Early this morning an 8.9 magnitude earthquake occurred 80 miles off of the northern coast of Japan.  This was the largest earthquake ever in Japanese history and caused a large Tsunami to strike

Sunday Song of the Week (2/27/11)

If you’ve been watching the Sunday Song of the Week for a while now then you probably have realized that I like pulling in music from all around the world.  From Canada to Japan and everywhere in between I believe that great music can be found anywhere and I love that our modern society affords [...

Sunday Song of the Week (2/20/11)

Like anyone I am prone to the occasional bout of melancholy and that tends to affect my listening habits.  At the same time, though, I’ve developed a bit of a loathing for the self-pitying whining that’s common in a lot of music these days.  No, when I am in a mood the kind of music [...]

“God’s Gonna Take Care of Me”

On the way home from work today I was listening to Morning Edition on NPR when a story came on about the island nation of Kiribati.  Kiribati is a nation consisting of a string of islands in the Pacific Ocean that, due to climate change, is sinking and may be rendered uninhabitable within the next [
