Getting LOST with the Jughead

WordPress just lost my entire post here. I’m too tired to repost it. I’m trying not to spit profanity and move to blogspot. 

So what’d you think?

Youth and Super Bowl

So what’s everyone planning for Youth Group this Sunday? 

If you’re like me, Youth Group runs some time on Sunday afternoon, maybe 4:30-6 like in our case, and this weekend the Super Bowl kick off is at 5pm CST but with pregame events starting even earlier. 

SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING? 

Canceling? Throwing a big party? Nothing in particular?

HOME

We are HOME! After a crazy weekend of driving, playing, sleeping, playing, driving, detouring around a wreck and driving along the levee and finally getting home!

Incredible stories, some pics, and great laughs! Can’t wait to share. Glad to be HOME though. 

Flossed my teeth and kissed my kiddos. Time for bed! See you in the morning.

The Office vs. Prince Family Paper

Boy did this week’s episode seem to FLY by? Or am I just that exhausted? 

Recap: 

Michael and Dwight are sent ‘undercover’ to spy on a competitor paper company called Prince Family Paper. Knowing a few local business owners, it’s kind of silly the way this plays out. They kept the home grown family just a bit too clueless for me. 
That being said, I love that this episode highlights the side of Michael that ISN’T a bumbling idiot. There’s truly a struggle within him to do the right thing for Dunder Mifflin or for Prince Family Paper. The little ‘bitter-sweet’ analogy at the end was too much of a biting reality I was so thankful for the comedic relief after the credits! But such a great moment in The Office.

The rest of the branch is entrenched in a bitter debate over whether or not Hilary Swank is ‘hot!’ I must have missed something, why Hilary Swank? Regardless, this plot-line was so absurd and so over the top that it had me laughing harder at every moment! It also attests to the caliber of comedians in this show! Everyone is hilarious! 
For some reason, these past 2 episodes have shown Jim making a true effort to try and work? Not sure what that’s all about though :)  

Thoughts and Quotes: 

He’ll be fine, I made it up there. – Jim thankful for another prank!

You will have pancakes and you will like it! – Michael

That was the most disgusting display of lip licking ever! 

A painting can be beautiful but I wouldn’t want to bang it! – Kevin

I’m your son now, you can visit this guy on holidays. – Dwight

Hot is a temperature people! – Angela

IHOP or DENNY’S people you decide!
Cast your vote please for your favorite breakfast hot spot

Getting LOST – Because You Left & The Lie

LOST 502

Welcome to a Spoiler filled discussion of one of the best shows on TV: Lost. Join with me Thursdays to laugh, discuss, go HUH?, about all things puzzling and hilarious from the night before! 

Season 5, Episodes: 501 & 502

The Numbers: 4 8 15 16 23 43

  • 8:15 alarm clock starts off the show! Awesome. And it’s the Dharma Initiative. 

The Nicknames

  • Shut it Ginger…
  • When are we now Wizkid?
  • …Danny Boy…
  • I’ll take that as a yes Frogurt.
  • …Dr. Wizard.

The Music

  • Livin’ la Vida Loca by Ricky Martin while Hurley goes to buy his I Heart Shitzu shirt!

Best Moment

  • Hurley throwing his Hot Pocket at Ben! I nearly peed my pants! That’s THE BEST thing to do with one of those! Hysterical!

What an incredible season opener! I haven’t felt this excited about a season for a show like…ever?!?! We know what we’re dealing with now: time travel but we just don’t know ‘who’s’ traveling through time? Crazy stuff. My favorite characters on this show are Daniel, Ben, and Hurley so I got SO MUCH out of this episode! I think Ben’s got to be one of the best actors! I mean you hate him so mercilessly at times and yet there in the kitchen I was convinced by endearing gaze that Hurley should follow him anywhere! The guy is incredible! 

Hurley’s big heart also makes me all mushy inside! He’s this incredible persona of the human confliction that we struggle with. His hang up with lying! We lie so easily in our culture and I am so glad this was not taken lightly.  

Daniel’s going to be the most interesting character to watch this season. (And Locke! How does he die?!?!?) But I just can’t get enough of Daniel. There’s this balance of timid science geek and glint that he knows so much that quite possibly could make him the most powerful person on that island! 

Quotes and Questions: 

You know maybe if you ate more comfort food, you wouldn’t have to go around shooting people. – Hurley

You’re going to have to die John. – That dude.

Oh yeah, Libby says Hi. – Anna Lucia

When am I?

Who’s moving through time? The Island or the inhabitants? 

Why is Desmond so special? 

Why is Aaron so special? 

What the hell is up with Sun? 

How does John Locke die? 

Is Jack going to tell Kate about Aaron? 

Could Sayid kick Jack Bauer’s butt?

What do you think?

The Office’s Duel

The Duel

I’m waaaay behind on this one but it was one of the best episodes that I absolutely could not miss the opportunity to discuss! I mean every time I watch it I find something else hilariously awkward!

PLUS, don’t you want to PLAY THE DUEL? Check it out

Recap

What a great cold opener! I guess because I’ve truly always wondered if I could run fast enough for it to pop up on one of those things! Hilarious!

We have Michael going to David Wallace’s office in which he thinks he’s getting a chewing. Hysterically, David wants to know the ’secret to his success!’

Then we have THE DUEL! FINALLY, Andy comes face to face with Dwangela! It’s some of the funniest physical and witty comedy I’ve seen! 

Thoughts and Quotes

It’s actually caused a bit of a traffic hazard! – Pam

I mean eventually he’ll figure it out, when their kids have giant heads and beet stained teeth! – Jim

Where Dwight? – Oscar on the verge of tears
Seems like you already know where. – Dwight 

Learn your rules, you better learn your rules. If you don’t you’ll be eaten in your sleep. ARRR – Dwight

Michael’s beautifully poetic ramblings out to the car with Andy ending with Dwight and Angela are having an affair…so…that was the news…just wanted to let you know…YEAH…pulling out of the parking lot

You said that yesterday – Oscar
Yeah, my neighbor got murdered. – Meredith  

What are you doing…right? – David Wallace

Sometimes I start a sentence and I don’t even know where it’s going…- Michael

She certainly enjoys making lovemaking with me! – Dwight

I call loser! – Meredith

I guess people have fewer choices when they get older. – Kelly

The Prius is silent if he keeps it under 5 mph. – Oscar

Sasquatch are the strongest animals on the planet….so fine call me a Sasquatch! – Dwight

Absolute greatness in Office history!

Solo Acoustic Youth Worship Suggestions

I haven’t had the opportunity to get out and lead worship lately but this Wednesday I’m getting out to the Dunham School here in Baton Rouge to lead worship/speak for their High School Chapel. I’m pumped! 

I’m curious: 

What songs have you done with your students with just you and an acoustic guitar that were stellar?!?! 

It’s been a while so any help would be greatly appreciated!
