Halloween has not seen me different since 4th Grade

I need to shave. Badly.

a righteous vote

Jeff is doing a splendid job with remainng neutral in a sermon about the upcoming election.

I'm buying a Hammond M3 tone-wheel organ this afternoon. I cannot adequately express to anyone how excited I am.

Kelly and Heather's apartment is so stinking neat.

White balance vectorscopes seriously look like some sort of instrument out of Star Wars; like from the Death Star warming up to destroy. Oh, and surely you all know that the bar the guy pulled down to launch that laser is a crossfade dissolve bar to a major video switcher.

Facts are facts.

My Kim got a Macbook Pro recently from her parents. Go her.

I didn't like it at first but the background lights behind Jeff do look good, especially when he's directly in front of one.

Yes, a leader must have Godly character.

And hey, all you doubters out there. Yes, Pilotdrift IS coming out with a new album early next year.

I have a (free) calculator in my iPod!

To the lady sitting behind me after my piece at tonight's student recital, 

There are multiple versions and arrangements of "Ave Maria". In fact, probably much more than ever needed. Please don't look at a title and think that that song is too easy or too hard for these students; it's a tad judgmental.

I enjoyed my grandfather's ol' suit. It was comfy. I found a napkin in the pocket too.

I seem to get apprehensive about my daunting class/work/life schedule sometimes, feeling that I'll get hopelessly behind on things. Yet, it never happens that way. I'm getting things done. 

Go Rachel and Sifan.

My car is whiny.

Got to look out and not be the one who sits down too early in choir next time. 

Somebody drove up into our yard, egged the house, and left gauges of tire tracks. Darn hooligans.

The new Macbook lines are bittersweet.

Alright, time for some Musician's Circle-manage-ness.

Black, with bold red and silver-gray stripes.

Boy-O-Boy! Community Awareness!

I personally don't think that giving a cause/issue/personal vendetta its own week or month is really the best we as people can do towards promoting the betterment of those items.

I don't personally have a better alternative for such at 4:04 in the afternoon, but maybe later.

Just thought that briefly right before we shoot our community events-based show, "Out & About with Joann Rice". *Another shameless plug*

Oh, and for your sake. Eat to live. Do not live to eat.

Espys are the Besties

So, ESPN rocks.

As a television professional, I'm really nit-picky about what I'm watching on TV and completely over analyze anything production wise. Granted, I work in small-time local television, but with an Emmy winning, 25+ veteran of this business for a father, you tend to pick up on things.

That being said, I believe ESPN to have he absolute best production value on cable TV.

Unlike major news networks like CNN or FOXNews who have some pretty huge goofs (FOX, you got to turn off mics sometimes and not allow your anchors to curse on-air!), ESPN brings professionalism and entertainment to everything they do. Their commercials, hilarious and witty. Their anchors and hosts, accurate and well versed in their fields (hint, hint MSNBC). Their shows, pleasing and well driven.

And have you seen their innovations lately? I mean, it's been around for a few years now, but do you realize how hard it is to make those first down markers and other on field graphics in a virtual 3D space that players can cross over in real-time? Like, really hard. And they've taken that concept one step further in their analysis segments now by recreating plays digitally and creating a 3D world for analysts to literally walk through and explain what's going on.

I love it.

'Bout to shoot some Sports Report action. Check it out on KTEV-TV Ch15 on Texarkana's CableONE!

glasses look nice on her

I don't enjoy being late to big band rehearsal at church; especially when I live just down the road.

Dad lost a tape. I really want to make this sentence with the last one but it's not coming to me.

Telca is directing today. She still makes a few mistakes, but she's definately improved.

Alex's Heath Ledger-Joker bobble head doll seems out of place in a church TV control room.

Things that bobble are cool though.

Jon Foreman has some of the most heartfelt EPs in the world.

Th-Th-Theremin!

That's all for now.

P,P,Puh-Palin.

Palin finally let her hair down. Yay.

a preface to chaos

Alright now ladies and gentlemen, here's how it goes.

This blog will be about a variety of things; not really pinned or tied down to one particular item or other. It shall be brief, as witty as possible, and simple. Like an anecdote.

For those of you who don't know what an anecdote is, I'm terribly sorry. It's your loss.

One of the things I will keep consistent however are my observations from Sunday morning service at my church, whether from front of house or the choir loft. Like today; the choir was really good on their special and Curtis and Madison showed up. A pleasant surprise indeed. However, there was still some green bleeding from the Broadcast Pix. 

I don't necessarily expect anyone to comprehend most of this, but if you do, kudos.

That is all for now.
