The Calorie Bank

I've been living at home (aka the "Gingerbread House") and not doing a whole lot of exercise because I was a little bit sick. I've been eating lots of food, and much of it has been junk food. I have made lots of deposits in the calorie bank without making a whole lot of withdraws. I might be getting a little fatter. I think that's how it works...your deposits in the calorie bank build up in the form of fat over time and you can withdraw against that fat when you aren't eating as many calories as you're burning.

Switched from Motorola to a PrimeCo Phone

Like Lil Troy, I'd like to be a baller, and to that end, I'm switching away from my Motorola phone. Since PrimeCo's not around any longer, I'm getting an HTC Hero phone with Google Android. Should pick it up tomorrow. I'll give an update about how I like it.

Another Hammock on the Block

I used to tell people that once on my street, they can identify my house by the hammock in the front yard. I guess I'll have to start telling them it's the one with the black hammock out front because I saw that someone else has put up a white one.

There's a periodic table of the elements at http://ptable.com that gives you way more information in a really sweet way than a printed table would be able to give. All you nerds should check it out.

Pick #167

Rufus Wainwright - "Hallelujah" from Singles

I'm told that Leonard Cohen wrote this song, but Rufus does my favorite rendition.

Forgive the Inexcusable

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. This is hard. It is perhaps not so hard to forgive a single injury. But to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life - to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son - how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it means to refuse God's mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says.

-C.S. Lewis
