A new Pixar movie means? Rejoicing! Although I haven’t seen WALL-E yet. Because I am a bad fan. Soon. Every Pixar movie, though, I see the trailer and I’m like, how are they gonna pull this off?

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s to trust Pixar.

Do you know how many YouTube concert videos you have to look through to find ones that both look and sound decent? Lots. Many, many, many. But I think I have been mostly successful in order to bring you this (still grossly inadequate) approximation of last night. Thing to note. Amateur [...]
Met some interesting new people at church. Okay, this didn’t really rock that hard, but usually the greet-the-people-near-you part of the service (before the sermon) devolves into “hi, I’m ____, nice to meet you” unless I already sort of know the people near me. So it was nice to actually have a conversation.

Here’s for the inaugural Music Monday post! (And yes, it is still Monday.) Yet another thing for me to start and then fail to keep up. But let’s not start fatalistic, shall we?
EDIT - the “Wires and Waves” file has been fixed - thanks Mark! I thought I checked them all, [...]
