Not a lot of plans this weekend, so we will fall into routines fairly quickly. Kristen and Megan are hiking up Cowles Mountain. Stoney and I are waiting for them to return so we can head to Dog Beach for some beach therepy. After that we have no plans. A nice relaxing weekend lies ahead.
Right now I am sipping tea and listening to music. I did some rearranging on things in the sidebar, so make sure you check that out. The blogroll is back! Here are the next 10 tunes I’m listening to. As always, these are completely random and my ratings are included.
Typically for Saturday tunes I share the next 10 random songs coming out of my iPod. But today is Valentines Day and its all about love and sappy stuff like that. With that in mind I am going to change things up a bit this week and share some favorites.
Top 5 Most Listened to Songs
1. Falling Slowly by Glen Hansgard & Marketa Irglova
2. Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone) by Chris Tomlin
3. 1234 by Feist
4. Basket Case by Green Day
5. Stop & Stare by OneRepublic
Top Ten Faves of the Moment
1. Anyone Else But You by Michael Cera & Ellen Page (Moldy Peaches version is also my fav)
2. God’s Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash

4. I Will Not be Silent by David Crowder Band (Deliver Me, Foreverandever, and You Are My Joy are also Crowder favs)
5. Rise by Eddie Vedder
6. Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 (One, Beautiful Day, 40… tough to narrow it to a few U2 songs)

8. Sweet Home Alabama by Lynard Skynyrd
9. Chanukah Song by Adam Sandler (I love Sandler songs!)
10. Where Everybody Knows Your Name by Gary Portnoy (Yes, this is the Cheers theme song)
OK, so I don’t have just 10 favorites.I could list 50 songs here and not cover all the best stuff. But this is a good start.
Today we released segment one of two that I shot with David Crowder in Pittsburgh.
Not much makes me star struck in this world. But doing this podcast episode with David Crowder made me all giggly. Seriously, it was kind of sick how excited I was. Next to meeting a U.S. President for a discussion on politics or playing eighteen holes at Pebble Beach with Tiger Woods or doing a follow-up SNL skit with Adam Sandler where we sang a duet of Red Hooded Sweatshirt… I don’t think I could have been as nervous about meeting someone as I was in meeting Mr. Crowder.
Of course, it was not worth being nervous about. He was very cool and easy to talk to. And I felt appropriately silly for being so excited. On top of that, the shoot happened so spontaneously and was so short that it wasn’t worth being giddy about after all.
So, there’s my confession. I’m human and I get excited about meeting people I admire. Mock me. I can handle it.
In case you hadn’t heard, MTV has opened the archives to all of their videos for you to enjoy. I found my favorite, what’s yours? (My boss loves Eminem and has been blasting it from her office.)
With the truck unpacked, the mega job of unpacking everything has begun. Later today we plan to head to Ikea to start picking out new living room and bedroom furniture. But for now we’re just kind of hanging out, taking things out of boxes, and trying to have a down day.
In the meantime, I’m working [...]
Tough to believe it is Saturday already. What a quick week! This morning I had a meeting at the church about church marketing, then I came home to finish up the yard work before a 12:30 PM showing. (They were 15 minutes early) Now, I’ve got some work to do before I head back outside [...]
