3rd GPS stolen

5 06 2010

The other day we lost our third GPS to thieves (see 1st and 2nd). I’m not sure if we just don’t lock our door because the car alarm didn’t go at all. Anyways, for me this is the third strike; as much as I like having a GPS, I just can’t afford to keep losing them to thieves (this time it was on the floor of the car with no octopus marks on the window). The car change was gone as well but thankfully, that was it.

I was frustrated about it for awhile but then I spent some time on my drive down to Seattle listening to the Meeting House’s series on Inglorious Pastors (recommended to me by my brother and Lyf). It was about pacifism (actively pacifying) with the theme being that you should be willing to die for Christ but not to kill for him. It was a great series that addressed a ton of questions that I had myself and others that are frequently asked – it really challenged me to live with Christ’s peace at the core of me and submit to His Lordship.

Back to the GPS – I’m also not getting another one because I’m getting a new phone that’s going to have an included GPS, the Droid Incredible. It’s a pretty sweet phone that can do a lot of cool stuff, presently it’s on back order and I should be getting it in a few weeks; I’m really excited to play around with this thing.

    YVR > SJC - kind of a zany concept but it works relatively well, not a great boxing movie but not too bad.

    This movie came well recommended to me and it was a good, strange and profanity laced comedy. The main character was profound, confusing and yet remarkably consistent and believable. Some good lines in there and a nice change of pace from an action movie loaded with action to this one which seems to try to avoid it at every turn.

    When a movie with a plot as benign as MLB drafting and trading using statistics instead of scouting intuition is this entertaining, you know they did something right. Great story that had both Heidi and I riveted to a sport that we really know and care very little about.

    MSP > YVR - Solid acting in this action-drama, decent story, pretty good fight scenes and sympathetic characters. All in all, nicely done.

    Ugh, this Christian movie was not worth watching. While it followed the plot of the Prodigal Son story closely, it seemed to lack all the great details that we had been learning about in the Prodigal God book study that we were going through. The acting was poor, most of the characters were poorly developed and the dialog was very local (to Texas) and didn't sound very natural to my Canadian ears.
