Contrary to popular belief, I am alive. It wasn’t until I posted today’s WBQotW that I realized my last three posts have been weekly quips. See! I knew that posting my quips would keep me loyal to this blog. Well… to that part at least.

So, what’s been going on the last three weeks? Well, I saw HHGttG and haven’t posted my review. I may have to go see it again so I can remember all the goodies. (Just kidding, Tammy.) Star Wars III was released and to voice my resentment at the suckage of the first two “prequels” I have not seen it yet. (Take that George Lucas!) Tammy and I celebrated our 6th year of wedded bliss. And my office temperature has gone from frost bite to heat stroke.

The review of the Hitchhikers will be posted in the next day or so, honest. I’ll also be posting a review of “13 Going On 30”. Tammy and I have developed a bit of a tradition. For our anniversary the last two years, we’ve stayed at St Botolph’s Inn in Weatherford. They have a couple of cottage rooms each with full sized a hot tub in the room and wall mounted TV/VCR so you can watch a movie from the tub or the bed. Schah-weeet! Last year we watched “Something’s Gotta Give” which is now one of Tammy’s favorites. We also stayed at Botolph for New Years, and watched “Along Came Polly”. Do you see a theme here?

We wrapped up our youth drama season with a really great mime performance. Those kids have a ton of talent and I’m glad God has given me such a rewarding ministry. (Yeah, they get on my nerves and disappoint me once in a while, but hey, they are teenagers, right? The good really does out weigh the bad.) Now I just have to update the drama troupe’s web site, which has been neglected much more than this blog. Time for another digi-cam dump.

Spring has sprung here in DFW. Okay, spring sprung two months ago. Now it’s just hot. Nasty, drippy, melt stuff in your car hot. Yesterday was 100*, today is supposed to be refreshingly cooler… 98.

For the last couple of months, our office has been stupid cold. You know it’s bad when people bring sweaters to work in May… In Dallas! While it was a beautiful 75 outside, my cubicle was hovering around 67 and that’s with my mini-heater running under my desk all day.

After weeks and weeks of complaining, “they” finally did something about it. Turns out the folks in the next office have been broiling. We run on the same AC unit and the vent baffles (thingies that tell the cold air where to go) were broken, so we were getting all their cold air. So, the guys in the heavy work boots got up on the roof and fixed everything… riiiiight. Now the AC unit is on strike. Right now, the thermostat across from my desk reads 85. *sigh* Well, at least our neighbors office is the same temp as ours now. Oh, and all you folks out there who have experienced manual labor in the summer… Shut up. I know I’m a wuss. Leave me alone.

I am helping out with the spring children’s musical at the church. I managed to keep my involvement to a minimum this time around. I have two lines, both or off stage, and I am running the lights, which involves one light cue. Piece of pie! My hat is off to Bill Meers for running the children’s musical every year. It serves as a reminder to me why I do not work with kids younger than fifteen (high school freshmen). Sure there’s a lot more drama (the personal/social kind) working with high schoolers, but at least you don’t have to tell them fifteen times per hour to stop playing with the microphones.

* All temperatures are given in Fahrenheit. Yeah, I know Fahrenheit is the worst temperature scale, totally unscientific. But it’s what most of my readers understand, so you’ll have to convert it to Celsius on your own. C = ((F – 32) * 5 / 9) Duh, people.
