Austin Adventures

The wife and I went downtown last night with a friend to celebrate her birthday. We made great time getting there, then started the night at the Spaghetti Warehouse. Dinner was good. We decided to walk off our calories by traipsing up and down 6th Street, something none of us had done in awhile. It’s an entertaining experience just because of the variety of people that are there on a Friday night.

After walking east, we backtracked and headed west, all the way to Waterloo Records and Amy’s Ice Cream. We decided to eat ice cream before browsing for music, so we waited in line for 30 minutes or more, but it was worth the wait, as usual. The funniest event of the night, to me, was the piece of paper that sat on our table as we were swimming in ice cream. Amy’s walls are covered in posters for upcoming events. My wife found the poster from whence came the small, torn-off slip of paper that was on our table. They were wanting donors, and not for blood. I’ll leave it at that.

We ate more quickly after that realization, then left for Waterloo. We browsed, and I bought a Weird Al album because of this video (10:35):

Fun night. Good times.

Bad Website Names

I just stumbled across a Christian alternative to MySpace called DittyTalk. Read that slowly. The first time I read it (on a Christian site), I thought it said something completely different. Do people think about such things when choosing a website?

Obviously not.

(The above link, by the way, is not for the faint of mind. Although all of the websites are fairly normal, the names they chose to use are very much abnormal and may not be safe for viewing in some countries). I may need to find some addiction treatment from lists like this on the internet. Seriously, you can’t get away from them, because I know I’ve seen the above list in my inbox multiple times.

Possible Band Names

My first college roommate, the inimitable Mr. Belk, began a list of possible band names that would trickle out of our oftentimes strange and varied late night conversations. Sadly, this list met its demise when his computer decided to sing the songs of eternity. I intend to resurrect said list now. First entry, from an online conversation with my wife (because it’s important to know a band name’s origin):

Automatic Dog Whupper

If there are any bands that happen to stumble upon this post or any others, I’d be honored if they decided to use any of the names that might grace these pages. I’d only ask for a free CD, some attribution, and maybe tickets to a show.

The Church is a Funny Place

Pastor Bryson Butts catches flak for "Church Doesn’t Suck" billboard
Pastor Butts? Really? And they’re upset about the billboard?

Moment of Silence for Church Turkey Greeter
Most faithful attendee tries to be like chicken, crosses road, doesn’t make it. Seriously.

Techno Churches, on "snagging aspects of the wider culture"
QOTD: "Martin Luther is said to have written a few hymns borrowing music from drinking songs."
99 bottles of communion wine on the wall, 99 bottles of wine, take one down, pass it around, 98 tiny cups of grape juice on the wall…"
