Know Jesus… Know Aloha!

16 04 2011

When we were in Hawai’i 6 years ago, we saw this sticker on the announcement board of a church that we walked past. Heidi loves the Hawai’ian culture and we have really latched onto the word and concept of Aloha (meaning affection, love, peace, compassion and mercy), even giving it to our daughter for a middle name.

I was scouring the net for these same stickers to get for Heidi but came up with nothing. I eventually decided to get buttons made (from Jesse at Custom Band Buttons, who was great) for her birthday but since the smallest order is a 50 pack, she also gets to share her ‘Aloha’ spirit with a bunch of other people.

Movies I've watched recently:

  • Air Guitar Nation (2006) 7/10

    2012-02-19 11:37
    * * * * * * *

    Documentary about the rise of Air Guitar in the States and it's popularity worldwide. The first few minutes it seems to be really bizarre to be taken so seriously but by the end it begins to seem much more normal.

  • Another Year (2010) 5/10

    Far too slow with little plot at all. I understand that it was going for character development more so than plot but it seemed to just drop every character that it started a story with, the insomniac at the beginning, Ken, the drunkard and ultimately Mary who seemed to become the lead character by the end. No closure and way too little happening.

  • Higher Ground (2011) 8/10

    On Kevin's recommendation, Heidi and I watched this movie and we were glued to the screen throughout. It's the story of a woman's acceptance and struggle with her faith. I have no idea who I could recommend this to as it can be a bit crude for a Christian movie and a bit boring for those who like more' entertaining' movies. Nevertheless, her openness is powerful, "I gave my heart outright. I'm telling you today, I'm still waiting for Him to make Himself at home. I feel like I live in an empty place."

    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.

Noisy House

Noise in the house from Matthew H on Vimeo.

A couple times in the last couple weeks, we’ve had a strange noise in our house that we couldn’t quite figure out (video above) – was it the furnace, the electrical, water, animals?? So confusing?

Well, we found out what it was, check here for the answer:

What a pecker! I’m not sure what kind of bird that is exactly, but here’s his song if you want to help me identify him.

Habs and Canucks in Playoffs

13 04 2011

The NHL playoffs are now upon us and my two favorite teams, the Habs and the Canucks have both made the cut, the latter in spectacular fashion as they got the President’s Trophy for being at the top of the whole league. Fortunately for me, I’m not going to have to pick which team to cheer for as my two teams couldn’t possibly meet until the Stanley Cup Final which is a long shot, so for now, I’m happy with my split loyalty.

I’ve probably lost a heavenly jewel in my crown for the image above, but I don’t think I needed that one anyway. In both Montreal and Vancouver, Jesus (and televised political debates) take a back seat to hockey.

Habs are in, Leafs are out

6 04 2011

Nothing could be better for a Habs fan, to make the playoffs and have the Maple Leafs not make it in. All is as it should be.

Greetings from Rat-ster

1 04 2011

We found an April Fools Rat on our car windshield this morning. I was eating breakfast thinking that was an awfully rat looking branch that landed on our car and later confirmed its rat-ness when taking the garbage to the curb. I left it on the car so Heidi and the kids could see it as well and a little while later Heidi comes and gets me to take a look at ‘something’ and Saff is raving about how there’s a rat with “red eyes!” on our car.

Thanks Luke B, I imagine this was your work.
