a tasty morsel

At work today -

Me: I think I may have broken another computer today.  In the past 7 months, I’ve crashed 3.  Plus, my computer back at Southcreek is running super slow and now this one’s power supply went out.  And my home laptop is also in the shop, and I think it’s also having a power supply problem.

Debbie:  Maybe your super power is breaking things. You just point at things and say, “Break it.”

Me:  Yeah I was shooting for a super power of being able to “break it down,” but I guess my power comes up a little short.

So I haven’t seen the animated short that won the Oscar this year, but who does? People with dwarfism? Do you get discount movie rates? I’m not paying your ten bucks to go see a “regular” movie… especially if it’s Marley and Me, let alone for a short film. I mean, really, if there’s a chance that I could hate it, I might as well be in misery for a good amount of time.

So at any rate, I’m sure that Watson is well on his way to having a little, golden bald man himself (maybe that’s who watches shorts). These are the videos we came up for this week. I wrote them and voiced Katie. He took that and made magic.

Interesting fact: The exact amount of time that it takes to get from a parking spot at the Southcreek offices to a parking spot at the main campus of the church is the long version of Don McLean’s “American Pie.”

Shoeshine customer: How long have you been working here?

Me: It’ll be 9 years in May.

Customer: Wow.  I would have guessed 4 or 5. The thing about you is that you could put a cardboard cutout of you right here from when you started and one right by it of you now and they would look exactly the same.  Most people can’t say that about themselves over 9 years.

(self-esteem up)

Me: Thanks. My hair has changed over the years.

Customer: Yeah, it got weird there for a while.

(self-esteem down)

More fun with videos.  It’s for another Student Ministry series about the relationships between parents and teens.  Brandon helped me write these, and of course, they’re done by Watson.  The first is the dad, and the second is the teen that I voiced.

And look at how professional I look in this recording booth.  I wasn’t actually using the headphones, but how could I pass up wearing them?  They look so cool.
