For your information
When I offer a link to products on Amazon.com and you click on the link and buy a product, I make money.
I also make money from any other ads on my site (primarily those you click on and make a purchase).
When I write a reviews on books, movies, music etc. I may have been given a copy of the product before the review — I’ll disclose that on any such reviews.
Just thought I’d let you know.
A few words about Presley
To the tune of “Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer” (chorus)
Presley found some undies in the closet
She found them tasty on ole’ Christmas Eve
You can say that doggies don’t like undies
But as for me and Pres we disagree
Presley likes to sit on couch cushions
She’ll sit there every time you turn your back
You can tell her no 1,000 times
But she’ll plop back down when e’er you leave the room
Happy New Years from the Blundell’s – Presley included.
Wrestling, Faith & Science
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about the squared-circle.
But Tripp posted a great find over at Homebrewed Christianity in which “Wofford college professors Byron R. McCane and Dan Mathewson reveal how the equally toothless performances of New Atheists like Richard Dawkins and creationists like Ken Ham share more with the garish world of Hulk Hogan and the Iron Sheik than with serious scholarship.”
It’s a great paper piece that compares the one-sided, over stereotypical and simplified views of Ham (Creation Science Museum) and Dawkins to Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Lots of fun. I give it five Ric Flair “WOOOOOOOO’s”
What do you think? Do Dawkins and Ham respresent over stereotypical and simplified views or science and religion at it’s best?
What are your New Year’s Eve plans?
New Year’s Eve is just days away.
And with the possible threat of a snow storm on it’s way into town, we definitely don’t want a repeat of Christmas Eve (an hour and half drive from Garland to Red Oak in the freezing snow and rain).
So, as of now I think we’ll be sticking around the house, probably loading up on a couple Red Box/iTunes movies and enjoying a quiet evening to ourselves.
What about you? What are your plans for New Year’s Eve?
Top songs of 2009
I used to think I listened to a broad range of music — but after working up a list of my favorite songs from 2009, either my preferred listening tastes are getting more defined — or perhaps 2009 just wasn’t a great year for new music. (Feel free to offer up your own theories.)
Ten spots filled by six different artists. It’s not as diverse as some, but it’s my list and what I’ve been enjoying this year.
Honorable mention:
Knights Of Cydonia – Muse :: this track came out in 2006, but I didn’t find it (or them really) until I saw them open for U2 in Houston. My Muse station has now become one of my favorite stations on Pandora and this track quickly became one of my favorite tracks. See the video on Hulu.
