the day the music died

chestnutcurlsTGIF! It's a quiet day, something I haven't experienced in a while. I am full of anticipation of our date tonight. We decided to postpone ceramics for a special occasion. Instead we're going downtown to have Chinese food and see 50 First Dates. :) The rest of the weekend will be full of other fun activities. We're seeing Passion of the Christ on Sunday night with the church group. Knowing how much it will shake me up, I'm not really looking forward to it, but being spiritually jarred is good for growth. I'm very disturbed by gory movies, but I can stay okay by telling myself it's not real. This was real, and it was for me. It's pretty overwhelming.
On a lighter note, my musical appliances have formed a conspiracy against me. A couple of months ago, my beautiful, fairly-new Kenwood stereo stopped turning on. The standby light is on, but when you hit the power button, nothing happens. (I refuse to believe that it's dead and want to take it to a repairman...if I ever get around to doing so.) Shortly thereafter, my tuner/discman died completely. The cheap discman that I use in the car became my all-purpose one. On Wednesday, it went the way of the others. Today I'm getting another cheap one because I can't stand the radio anymore, but Evan thinks I should just get a car stereo with CD player and he'll install it for me. It might be a better idea in the long run, but it seems like an unnecessary expense right now. So many things demanding my tax refund. :P
Yolanda didn't show up last night. I went to Streets and she had just left. It was weird, but not unexpected since you never know what's going on over there. Hopefully we can do McDonald's next week.
I miss Jessica.
A quote to think about today:
The questions worth asking are not answerable. Could we be fascinated by a Maker who was completely explained and understood? The mystery is tremendous, and the fascination that keeps me returning to the questions affirms that they are worth asking, and that any God worth believing in is the God not only of the immensities of the galaxies I rejoice in at night when I walk the dogs, but also the God of love who cares about the sufferings of us human beings and is here, with us, for us, in our pain and in our joy. - Madeleine L’Engle

I'm trying to think of something fun for Jonathan and I to do tomorrow. Everything is a drive, it seems.

Date: 2004-02-27 09:46 am (UTC)I know what you mean about The Passion. I probably won't see it at all because violence and gore disturbs me so much too. I mean- I could barely stand sitting through LOTR and that was complete fantasy! I hope that it is a good experience for you, despite the challenge.
