On the Boob Tube: That Mitchell & Webb Look

Posted: Thursday, February 25th, 2010 @ 4:29 pm in Humor | No Comments »

Tom and I have been discussing canceling our cable. After a long discussion, we determined our DVR is currently set to record three different kinds of programs:

Programs we like (10%) Programs we watch when there’s nothing else to watch (15%) Programs we thought the other person liked so we sit through them and pretend to be happy [...]

Hey, here’s a public announcement just for giggles: If you get into a relationship with a married man who gets caught, you have NO reason to complain and demand a personal apology. You’re a slut and no one cares about your feelings — except Jesus, and that’s only because he wants you to stop acting [...]

A couple of weeks ago I posted about some piano and music theory lessons I was teaching to a friend. The agreement was for me to teach piano for a month, and at the end of the month we would reevaluate their progress and see if they could continue to learn from me. [...]

Tom’s been listening to a new online music station called thesixtyone.com. One of the songs he heard had a funny accompanying image with it and he sent it to me. So funny. Had to share.

Sunny Sunday Morning

This morning, I woke up to warm sunshine – a treat we haven’t had much of in the last few months. Wanting to enjoy it as much as possible, I got out of bed, grabbed my laptop and went downstairs. I made a strong Americano and parked in the dining room, where I had [...]

Butterscotch Brownies with Chocolate Ganache

A few months ago, the girls at church had a Dessert & Movie night. Special events like these give me ample opportunities to try out new recipes. Sometimes it works out and I end up with a wildly successful morsel, and sometimes it doesn’t, leaving me with a disaster.

Luckily for me, these Butterscotch Brownies with [...]

I forgot to mention this — a couple of months ago I changed my twitter name. I am no longer using the missmacchiato moniker because I associate it with AwK, which is mostly defunct. If you’re on twitter and you want to follow me, I can be found at jleigh612. I try to [...]

Prepping for my Saturday Sabbath is a big deal. Not only am I preparing breakfast and finishing up chores, I have to make a meal that will serve as leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day — I’m not cooking on my day off! One of our favorite dishes that I pull [...]

Theory Lab

The change from worship to any other, structured music is like going from the game “Operation” to actual brain surgery. For me, worship has been largely unstructured and improvised – a single sheet of lyrics are attached to general chords and that’s it. No grand staff. No notation. No symbols. The system (rather, lack of) [...]
