The Other Knight
April 19, 2010 in Blogs
Today’s Examiner temporal anomalies article might sound like something medieval, as the title The Last Mimzy part 3: the order of Mimzys might be taken to suggest some sort of knightly honors. It’s much more mundane than that, simply considering in what sense the last Mimzy is “last”. In a time travel movie, that’s not a stupid question.
Meanwhile, I have begun the analysis of The Lake House. Put it down as ridiculous, that half an hour after I started this analysis effort, my lost copy of The Time Traveler’s Wife resurfaced; but there are a lot of complications in the impossible fantasy I’m examining, so it should make for an interesting series.
I feel obliged, based in large part on II Corinthians 1:11, to thank those who prayed for our Collision concert Friday night. Our performance went quite well, thank you; we received several compliments on it. The other acts included a few rather impressive ones, and the headliners Tal & Acacia surprised me pleasantly, combining a folk-jazz flavor in Simon & Garfunkel stylings with a sister act that was at times quite reminiscent of The Smothers Brothers as they talked over each other and spoke the same words at the same time. I recommend hearing them if you get the chance. On our part, we were struck by the vocal abilities of a female soloist whom we have approached about replacing our lost lead vocal/rhythm guitar, and hope to meet sometime this week to talk further. Something may come of it, which might mean I have to focus a lot more effort into getting our equipment up and running and our bass guitarist trained.
I’m not sure what plans others have for me today, but I’m making headway on everything, so it seems to be a good day.
