TGIF: Mystery Science Theater

This is a clip from one of the most beloved episodes on Mystery Science Theater. Enjoy.

This post was written while listening to Far-Less.

Playing the waiting game

“In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength…Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!”
Isaiah 30:15, 18
How am I supposed to wait for God when I can’t [...]

“Premonition”: I never saw it coming

The wife and I have a Tuesday night tradition where we go down to the local RedBox and pick out a dollar movie.  Normally, we greatly enjoy the process, and we are pleasantly surprised by our choices.  However, last night, instead of giving us cinema at its finest, the RedBox machine threw up 90 minutes [...]

Kevan Lee: princess rescuer

Last weekend, I completed my three-month tour de force of Super Mario Galaxy.  Mario’s latest adventure on the Wii, which has scored rave reviews from critics everywhere, was entertaining, vibrant, and fun–with heavy doses of psyche-shattering pain.  I have to do what to the demon gopher who is trying to eat me? 
I am rather [...]

Riggins to the rescue

Some might argue that Tim Riggins is already a superhero.  He gets girls, he drives a truck, and he drinks like a fish—mostly all at the same time.  Anyone who can pull off that trifecta must be working some sort of special power.
Well, what Friday Night Lights fans have known for awhile, Hollywood is making [...]

TGIF: the Office!

Here is a video from one of television’s best shows: The Office.  The clip goes through some pretty good Dwight pranks by Jim.

Photoshop: Lessons in Patience

I started learning Photoshop yesterday with the hope of someday being able to superimpose my picture into the 2007 New England Patriots team calendar. I’ll keep you posted.The program itself is easy enough to learn, but I am doing so on my old, dilapidated laptop.  Doing anything on this laptop ceased to be easy once [...]

The 16-minute Mile

I went running yesterday.  Ugh.
Quick question: is running on Tuesday supposed to hurt on Wednesday?  Maybe I was doing something wrong like not getting up on my toes or wearing the wrong shoes or running in the first place.  Whatever it was, my calves feel like aching cinder blocks, and I just caught my breath [...]

Becoming Ted from “Sally Forth”

I came to a stark realization the other day. Thankfully, this realization was not as stark as others, namely the time I realized that Pop-tarts were not healthy to have every day for breakfast. Ignorance is bliss.What I discovered about myself recently was a wholly strange, unexpected epiphany: I want to be Ted from the [...]

Friday Night Lights: A Look Ahead

The ending to Friday Night Lights season two was a cliffhanger for all the wrong reasons.
First off, the cliff was more like a ledge—a ledge that only dropped down three or four feet. Considering that the episode was not originally intended as a season finale (the writer’s strike made it one), I can understand [...]
