Particle Man

The last two days have been great. Gilbert, Craig, Jason, Mike, and others have been at Jason's cottage, which is on a lake about 20 minutes away. Both days after work I head out there and we boat around, water ski, watch movies, and when the sun goes down sit around and smoke cigars and play cards. Today we did fireworks and watched the lightning. Gilbert will probably have some photos up on his blog in a couple days. We got some good shots of the lightning.

I got 12 Angry Men and Touch of Evil out from the library. Reviews as viewings warrant.

The current "Carl's Top 5 Songs of All Fucking Time" list (in alphabetical order):

"Geek USA" by The Smashing Pumpkins
"One" by Metallica
"Reba" by Phish
"Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits
"Where Is My Mind?" by the Pixies

The changes from a month ago are the different SP and B&S songs, and the elimination of the Pink Floyd song for the incredible "One." Seriously, words cannot describe the awesomeness of this song. Or any of the songs on the list, really. So I won't even try to describe them, but instead I'll recommend all of them, and let the music speak for itself.

I took some random "what's your religion?" quiz that I found in a friend's blog. It nailed me pretty accurately, but I have a number of complaints about the wordings of the questions and answers. I wanted to post about it now, but I really don't feel like working too much right now. I'll probably crank it out tomorrow, along with other various bits and pieces of my thoughts on religion in general and Christianity in specific. We'll see how handy the stuff I remember from Western Religion 101 will be. Could be interesting. Or could be a complete waste of everybody's time. Much like this post has been. Yeah, I'm done.
