The Simpsons Movie

Ok so I just got back from the Simpsons Movie and the I need to start out with that I wasn't really expecting much but it seems like it'd be funny enough to keep my interest. Well, in fact is was more than funny enough, actually I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was fearful that would be one of those movies that had all the funniest things in the commercial, but that's not the case. The entire movie was packed full of laughs.

Marge Simpson: How did the pig tracks get on the ceiling?
[cuts to Homer holding a pig to the ceiling]
Homer Simpson: [singing Tune to Spider-Man Theme Song] Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig. / Does whatever a Spider-Pig does. / Can he swing / from a web? / No he *can't*, / cause he's a *pig*. / Look out! / He is the *Spider-Pig*!

Also it maintains it's Simpsons characters not altering smaller characters to fit a full length feature film.
The basic plot is Homer screws up...
Springfield pays the price...
Homers family gets ticked...
Homer saves the day...
Oh and let's not forget also that we get to see more of Bart than ever ever before (once you see the movie that will make more sense)

Over all it was a good movie. I give it my suggestion of movies you should see during matinee at the theater.

Not so much Ranting as RAVING

Okay so I am some what of a movie freak. There I said it so you don't have to. I love watching movies, owning movies, talking about movies, making movies, but mostly going to a movie theater to watch new movies. And recently I have been putting some serious time into attending movies at the theater. But with all I've seen lately there are still more I have yet to see. But that's another post for another time. Recently I have seen Harry Potter, Transformers, Live Free or Die Hard, and most recently I say Hairspray. AND I LOVED IT. Now I was a tad hesitant in committing to see it because I am one of few but still a huge fan of the original movie starring Ricky Lake. But I decided I would give this new Hairspray a chance and I am SO GLAD I did. It was incredible. The movie is not only crammed packed full of funness and laughter but it's also full of talent. Can I just say that I love that they are bringing musicals back to the movie theater. I really am enjoying them. Anyway, out of all the movies I've seen recently Hairspray is my top pick for suggestions but I also REALLY enjoyed Die Hard (loved those all already) and Transformers. Truly I could take or leave Harry Potter. The book was better.

No more sick yuckiness

So I'm finally, after almost 10 days, feeling better. I'm still coughing but it seems to be the only thing lingering. Actually every time I'm ever sick I always end up keeping the cough for longer than I'd like. And if it's not a cough then it tends to be a soar throat or something having to do with my throat. Boo sickness. Anyway, I'm better.
Know what I wish...
I wish there was an instant cure for the common cold. Like pop a pill be totally better. Talk about miracle medicine. When they bring us the flying car and houses built on clouds they should also get rid of the common cold altogether.
You know what else I wish...
I wish I had a puppy. No more common colds, flying cars, cloud houses, and a puppy.

SO TIRED

Well, I'm still sick. It's been about 5 days and I actually feel worst today than I did earlier in the week. I'm thinking that's not such a good thing. Actually I think that earlier I was actually fending it off and now my body has just given in. SUCKS! And what else is so odd is that I'm also so sleepy all the time since I've had this. Just exhausted. It's very strange.
In other news, I got paid this past friday. I'm really liking this getting paid twice a month thing that I have with my current job at Ebs. I don't think I've ever had a twice a month pay check but it's fun stuff. Yay money.

Don't want to be sick any more...just thought I'd say.

So I'm sick. I hate being sick. It's been a while since I was truly sick. I've been "sick" a few days here or there but it's really allergies or fatigue. But now I am actually for real sick. I was so ill this morning that I actually woke up at 530am to find replacements for me at work. It seemed to have worked it self out, thanks Juliet and Christine and whoever else covered my shift but I have to go in tomorrow. I think the worst thing about being sick is I always get so tired and lazy. My body really shuts down and stops when I feel bad. Especially if I have fever, like I do. I can't wait to not be sick anymore.

These are the films that won awards at the Buzz Conference. They were sermon illustrations as well as church directions. Two of them are SO FUNNY! All the rest are just really well made videos. So take a minute check them out.

Ridiculous

I stole this from Rose's blog but I'm in it too so there you go.

There are a lot of things that Satan doesn't appreciate...
God...
God giving his son to fix everything...
People following God's son...
And things that work towards what God and His son taught us...
Lately he (satan) seems to be particularly peeved and annoyed with Ebenezers Coffee House. Most of my readers know what that is but for the few that don't it's the coffee house that National Community Church owns and runs and all it's income will eventually go to missions and outreaches done by the church. Anyway, Ebs is still a baby, a little more than a year old and recently a lot of bad things have been happening there. I've never thought about this or attempted this before but I'm actually gonna ask for prayer for an inanimate object. So, if you have a minute here or a minute there to lift up NCC and Ebs in some way please do so. And for all of you concerned of what "bad" things have been going on there, I'll cue you in now. But I also want to offer some encouragement of the good things that are occuring at the same time that we hope are counteracting all the bad.

In the last 6 months Ebs has been broken into twice...Our daily intake has almost tripled.
A pipe burst in the walls near the elevator causing serious water damage to that part of the building...we've had to double up on coffee orders and muffins from our suppliers in order to meet demands.
Not 1, not 2, but 5 windows in the last couple of weeks have started leaking when it rains not just causing dripping indoors but actual puddling...shifts are now be covered by 3 people instead of just 2 to help with customer service due to popularity.
TODAY the ceiling on the top floor caved in on the offices. Specifically it fell in on the desk of the coffee house manager. No one was there, praise God, but the caving also caused the air conditioner to fall in as well and be shut off all morning. FYI the temperatures in DC reached over 100degrees before 10am this morning...But the cause of the cave in was condensation from the AC which has been working over time lately. There were 219 people at the saturday service last weekend. Which is held in the coffee house.
Please remember to pray for this ministry and the people that keep it open.
