  • I am being attacked by spiders. No, it's not funny, it's horrible. I hate spiders. I'm not afraid of them (I wouldn't say I'm arachniphobic) I just hate them, a LOT. I think these guys have it in for me or something. They must be communicating in some secret spider language about me, passing along my whereabouts and description or something. Seriously, it started with a spider underneath my desk when I got to work--now dead (may he rest in peace), THEN there was one crawling on my elbow during the community meeting today that I saw with my peripheral vision (thank God for peripheral vision...). I flung it off so quickly that my whole table laughed at me because it looked like I was spasm.  Then I'm typing my pop song analysis on the couch and I saw another one coming right for me! ARGH!! I swiftly rolled off the couch, laptop in hand, to safety and to find my flip flop on the ground waiting to be used as a weapon against the vile beast (God rest his soul). Yuck. Die spiders, die!

    I got to have lunch with Chuck today--it was good to talk and catch up after so long. It's good to know people well enough that you can sit down and have a conversation with them after 6 or 10 months and feel like you talked to them yesterday. It's nice to hear what he is doing in San Miguel Ranch and just all around super fun to hang out with an ole buddy!

    I saw Michael W. Smith in concert at Yorba Linda Friends Church on Sunday night. It was wonderful and amazing. He really is a living legend--with 19 albums and over 180 songs in about 25 years. We got to hear some of the songs from his newest album, and it's incredible to hear new melodies coming out of a guy that's been writing for so long. He really does still have it! Check out STAND when it hits stores on November 7th.

    I'm already working on the Concordia job for May 2007. It's such a huge deal, and we're all already brainstorming the whole thing. I downloaded a huge bunch of songs from iTunes the other day to do research on the theme. It was really cool. Oh iTunes, how I love thee...but really, what would I have done before iTunes to listen to all of the 50 songs from about 35 different albums? Go to the record store? I don't know, I don't even want to think about it. I love the future, and the future is now...speaking of the future, I've got to go to bed so I can wake up to watch HEROES on my iPod while working out...
    Yes...I love the future...

  • I hate to be the one to break it to you. But you ARE scared of spiders and are totally arachniphobic. If YOU'RE not, I would hate to see someone who is. I'm just saying is all...

  • Maybe the spiders are coming from your favorite deck of Nertz cards....But not to worry, Nathanial will save you...I think. You arachniuphob you.

  • When I was a freshman living in Adams, I called one of my guy friends over to kill a spider that I had trapped under a cup. I thought he was going to be all macho and squish it. He took my hairspray and sprayed it to death. Wimp.
