interpreter movie poster“The Interpreter” was our Friday night date-nite movie. Jess and I went to see “The Interpreter” after only seeing the previews on television and before other films.

Neither of us had heard whether it was “good” or not, so we went in unbiased.

This movie WAS “good”. Minimal language, no sex, good plot, great actors.

However, this movie was just “good”…

What I mean is – this movie didn’t make me want to change my occupation to that of Secret Service or UN Interpreter. It didn’t make me want to read any books on either occupation. It didn’t make me want to buy the movie to watch it again when it’s available. Nothing.

The movie was long (more than 2-hours) and it felt long. I don’t like it when this happens.

Good plot, great idea – could’ve been better.

Maybe owning a new camera will help me be a cool photographer like this.

Probably not, but at least I’ll try!

MY NEW FRIEND!

Today I purchased a new friend. It’s the Olympus C-770 4-mega pixel, 10x-optical zoom digital camera. It will be in my possession sometime next week.

I can hardly wait.

10x-optical zoom?! Can you imagine those close-up shots of my nose!!

Thanks to Matt VanKirk, I now have two headlights that are MUCH better!



BEFORE.

AFTER.

After we fixed the headlights, Matt let me drive this year’s Demolition Derby car! Yepper. A Buick station wagon will meet it’s end in just a few months! It was pretty fun to drive a car that will eventually be so beat-up that it won’t be recognizable!


After I got a try driving, Matt showed me how a professional drives – and he even took it out on the road in front of the house and “burned off” a little rubber.


A fun time was had by all!

John Davis - John DavisI’m pretty sure my musical tastes have “matured” in the last hours of listening to this new John Davis album.

A modern day “Damascus Road Conversion-ite”, John Davis, formerly of the band Superdrag released this solo album after meeting Jesus in a real-way.

His website’s biography says that he was on the way to his folks’ home when he felt an overwhelming presence in his vehicle and instandly knew the “void” in his life would not be filled by the “alcoholic road” he was currently taking..

This album is a sinner-turned-Christ-follower’s heart for sure. The lyrics are over-the-top Christ-centered. The music style is unlike ANYTHING I’ve ever heard under the umbrella of Contemporary Christian Music. It reminds me of listening to some of Dad’s old 8-tracks and the “oldies” stations on long road trips as a family!

Honestly, my DAD would like this music!

www.johndavismusic.com – you can listen to tracks from the CD there!

12 great tracks accompany this disc that I actually downloaded thanks to many of you and your free iTunes Pepsi caps.

Honestly, if you have ANY time in the next few moments after reading this post, visit John’s website and listen to the tracks. Amazing stuff!
