Broomball!!!

For one my RA's program tonight 8 of us went to one of the outdoor ice rinks and played broomball. The hockey players on the next rink found us rather amusing. Pictures when I get a hold of them.

Top Ten Songs

An amusing little idea from Fr. Jim.
The rules:
1. Open up the music player on your computer.
2. Set it to play your entire music collection.
3. Hit the "shuffle" command.
4. Tell us the title of the next ten songs that show up (with their musicians), no matter how embarrassing. That's right, no skipping that Carpenters tune that will totally destroy your hip credibility. It's time for total musical honesty.
5. Write it up in your blog or journal and link back to at least a couple of the other sites where you saw this.
6. If you get the same artist twice, you may skip the second (or third, or etc.) occurrences. You don't have to, but since randomness could mean you end up with a list of ten song with five artists, you can if you'd like.

So here's what I got:
1. Goo Goo Dolls, Black Balloon
2. Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Maher Symphony No. 8, Finale
3. Chris Rice, Smellin' Coffee
4. Gin Blossoms, Perfectly Still
5. Righteous Brothers, Unchained Melody
6. Matchbox 20, Unwell
7. Count Basie, April in Paris
8. Rich Mullins, The Maker of Noses
9. Third Day, Consuming Fire
10. Jars of Clay, Silence

Because I'd like a more adequate sampling of the music that's on my computer you get the next ten songs as well.
11. Mark Schultz, Back in His Arms Again
12. Our Lady Peace, Bring Back the Sun
13. Kiss, I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night (live)
14. W.A. Mozart, I. Introitus - Requiem Aeternam
15. Kutless, Run
16. DJ Sammy, Heaven
17. Steven Curtis Chapman, Magnificent Obsession
18. FFH, Big Fish
19. Relaxation Dreams, Lullaby
20. Frank Sinatra, It Had to be You

So now let's hear what yours are.

"And when I go to heaven..."

The last words uttered by Rev. Jack Arnold before he died in the middle of his Sunday sermon which was, ironically, about heaven.

The Sleep Diet

Reuters released an article today about how to Stay Thin by Sleeping. Now the theory is that sleep deprivation triggers a biochemical reaction that makes you hungrier, but did they ever think that maybe you lose weight because the more time you spend sleeping the less time you have to spend eating?

Back to School

I'm finally back at school and will be resuming posting as soon as I finish settling back in. The settling in may take a few days as my roommate just moved out and I get to do some rearranging in here.
