Rosa and I got a night out without the kids this past Saturday (thanks mom). We ended up doing dinner at Five Guys with a movie after: The Lovely Bones. I’d heard from Rosa that the president loves going to Five Guys. That was our motivation to try it out. Eh, it was alright. It wasn’t bad, but I must say that it wasn’t any better than what I could do at home (except for their cajun-style fries).
Afterwards was a quick trip to Cinemark Memorial City for The Lovely Bones. The Google description of the movie said Drama/Horror/Suspense/Thriller, but all I saw was Horror/Suspense/Thriller. When I mentioned that I could see it, Rosa warned me that it was probably not going to be what I was expecting.
She was right. There was suspense in it, yes. But for me, the flick elicited a lot more emotion than I thought it would…and I’m talking about the “lump-in-the-back-of-your-throat” type of emotion. The thing I related to the most was the father-daughter relationship in the movie. And the anguish depicted of losing one’s daughter (or any child for that matter) was just so gut-wrenching. (Don’t worry, I didn’t give anything away. The movie opens with that fact.) Some parts of the movie made it quite the downer, but overall I still liked it.
It was a fun, relaxing evening.

In trying to confirm who was actually in the Superbowl this year, I came across this SNL short with Peyton Manning that I’d never seen before. Man, I was crying it was so funny.
Not a huge fan of either the Colts (or the Saints for that matter). But Manning sure does land the funny scripts.
I was looking for some Christmas carols to sing for our Christmas Eve service, and I stumbled across a couple songs by this artist, Josh Wilson. We ended up playing his rendition of Angels We Have Heard on High and his song Sing.
The guy’s got talent.
I also found this video of him performing Amazing Grace at Willowcreek. One can expect to hear more of his stuff at Pathways Church of Houston.
been such a long time since I read about supercritical fluids. Not sure what it would take to get gasoline into a supercritical fluid state and what that means in terms of its properties. The video seems to state that it allows for more efficient burning process so that some of the energy wasted as heat will now be used to push the piston down. Anyway, seems […]
