Who is this that wipes the tears from my eyes?
Just one glimpse of you steals my heart away
You’re the lover of my soul
Draw me into you, draw me into you

We will run, we will fly
We will be together
We will laugh, we will cry
We will be together

Sometimes, it’s really, really hard to keep a straight face when playing in the band at church.

Not that I’m not hugely busy at work or anything, but I made a proverb generator.

Genius.

(and yes, I know it’s not real, but it’s still excellent)

• Nayf is back and this time he’s got a domain. Seriously, you should go and read his blog. It’s very funny, and is mainly about how his wife thinks France is in the southern hemisphere or something.
• orion has figured out where the socks go. I always knew there was something wrong about furbies.
• 11 truths about men that you’re not supposed to tell your wife. Where they write “golf” it should probably say “World of Warcraft”.
• Muse’s new album is very good and you should probably buy it. It’s like a cross between the Scissor Sisters and Depeche Mode and Queen and the older Muse stuff and everything. Also, “Supermassive Black Hole” is the best pop song this year by miles.
• Ulrike has moved in next door, which is nice. We were in the same hall of residence in our first year at University. It’s funny how things come around like that. In related news, I finally got to meet the guy who lives downstairs tonight. He seems a bit quiet; that flat always attracts slightly unusual characters. Mind you, quiet is a distinct improvement on the screaming rows of the (newly married – I hope that’s not a sign of things to come) couple before him so I’m not about to complain there.

• It occurs to me that working for The MET Office would be awesome. Maybe.

This is going to sweep the board at the MTV Music Video awards. You knows it.

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Humble grocer quietly gave away millions

Waldemar Kaminski, who quietly ran a food stand in Broadway Market for more than 50 years, has been revealed to be a self-made millionaire and philanthropist who anonymously gave millions to Buffalo charities and neighbors in need.

Total Depravity, my ass.

In other news, I went to a church business evening tonight and actually came away feeling vaguely positive. Words like “relational” were mentioned and, although The Big “E” Word wasn’t mentioned explicitly, there was a definite ‘feel’ of things heading in that sort of direction. So, yeah, I feel quite positive about it. Which is nice.
