about how different Christian confessions interact (or maybe should interact).

The Map Discussion

It’s long, but worth the read.

Well, one year ago today, Sandra and I both took a day off from work, to spend some time together. We went to see Cars, we went out to eat, and we came back here to play Super Smash Brothers Melee. Then we talked for a while about our past, our futures, and we agreed to start our ‘dating’ relationship. Though we did keep it on the DL from the parents for a few weeks.

Today, after a year together, and 2 months of being engaged, we celebrated. Sandra got me Mario Party 8, we went to an estate sale, bought a chair for the living room/future library, ran a few errands, and then PLAYED some Mario Party 8, and then went out to dinner.

To MF Sushi. Which is one if the top 3 sushi restaurants in Atlanta.

One word: YUM.

Spicy Tuna Tartar (not for the faint of sushi heart), followed by some sake, some nigiri (including Otoro :drool: ), and a lobster roll (which was very good as well).

Then we went to Jeff and Adriene’s Baby Shower.

It was a great day. A little productive, a little relaxing, some good celebrations. And best of all, was spending time with Sandra.

Almost perfect days don’t come around often enough. But this was one of them.

So, Andy O had a cool idea for a summer project. Use his blog comments for ideas for songs, write some songs, then solicit said fans to record voice and instrument tracks for the chorus/background music. Anyone with a microphone and an internet connection was given some notes, and asked to record, and send them in.

Andy then took the tracks, recorded the songs, and overlaid the song with fan vocals. He just put them all together with protools, and released the results to the wild. He’s suggesting a $6 donation for the 6 songs (itunes charges $1 per song), but you’re welcome to give more.

It’s a pretty cool idea. Andy O has got a rocker edge to him most of the time. These are all acoustic, and sound pretty good.

So starting here: http://andrewosenga.net/2007/06/11/letters-to-the-editor-volume-1/ it’s just 4 clicks to get to the free music download. Along the way, you can also listen to his previous album which is pretty good too.

I just saw a quote from Germaine Greer (who from what I can tell briefly was a womens rights activist in England/Australia).

“Psychoanalysis is the confession without absolution.”

Struck me as interesting.
