Pictures of my new apartment!

When it comes to you, I'm lazy.

On Monday, I went into the little café next door to my office, and the snow was just pouring down. It was really surreal, because the snow was dumping down, but none of it was sticking. It felt chaotic to me and invigorating.

It seems like life has really slowed down this week, which I am elated about. Last night, I watched the Nuggets play like ass and lose! Then I went home, folded my laundry, and watched the Danielson documentary: Danielson: A Family Movie. I was extremely impressed by this film. It goes through their entire career and really involves the viewer in the story. They are such an inspirational family. They make some of the most obscure sounding music ever, yet their hearts and attitudes are completely sincere and simple. They honestly just want to honor God with their music, and this is the sound that comes from them. I find that to be super interesting and beautiful.

This weekend is going to be quite busy! On Saturday, I am going to watch the Nuggets stomp the Spurs at the Pepsi Center. I am especially excited about this because it’s the first time I have ever gone to a playoff game. Directly after the game, I am going to walk across the street and watch Bright Eyes at the Buell Theatre. I am anticipating this show quite a bit. I really love his new album, Cassadaga.

PS – Last night I started writing some acoustic music for fun. I have been using a 1970’s tape recorder from Montgomery Wards. It sounds like total garbage, but it kind of has warmth to it. Regardless of sound quality, it’s really convenient for getting my ideas down.

I don't know how I feel about this:

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Get ready for "Spider-Man: The Broadway Musical."

That may not be the official title, but Marvel Studios is putting the pieces together for a musical on the Great White Way starring the popular superhero.

Julie Taymor, who won Tonys for direction and costume design for the Broadway production of "The Lion King," will direct, with U2's Bono and the Edge creating new music and lyrics for the project.

Auditions are taking place, and a reading is scheduled for the summer. No dates for a Broadway opening have been set.

While the Spider-Man musical marks the first time a Marvel character has been the subject of a Broadway show, it's not the first time a superhero has hit the stage. Superman was in the spotlight of "It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman," which opened at the Alvin Theatre in 1966. Despite fairly positive reviews, it closed a few months later.

Spider-Man will next be seen on the big screen, when the third installment of the blockbuster franchise opens across North America on May 4.

SIIIIIIIQ!

So I was hanging out at my church last night, and DJ, our worship leader approached me about playing bass this weekend for all 4 main services. I agreed, and we had practice. It was really interesting playing with in-ear monitoring, I have never done it before, and it was a nice luxury! The coolest part about the whole ordeal was this: I get to play a 1964 Fender P-bass! This is pretty much my dream guitar, and the guy who owns it was completely happy to let me use it for practice and the services. The bass played like a dream. It is heavily modded, but that vintage mojo is still there. I am really excited to play in front of thousands of people this weekend!

My Evening

Last night, Caleb and I watched High Fidelity, Made dinner, and ate the best ice-cream on earth. Seriously, why haven't people thought to make carrot cake flavored ice-cream sooner? I am pretty sure this stuff is going to take over the world.

PS - High Fidelity is the best movie of all time!

Good Friday

It is a wet, overcast, dreary day outside today. I drove into work this morning listening to Young Mountain by This Will Destroy You as I reflected on the meaning of Good Friday, and its personal relevance to me. It really is emotional to think about the price our heavenly father paid for our redemption.

Tonight at bible study we are going to watch The Passion of the Christ. The last time I viewed this film, I was alone in my apartment with a glass of wine, so it will be interesting to watch it with others. I hope I am able to open up and let it sink in, because sometimes I get really distracted by people around me.

Moved in!

We got all moved in yesterday! What a task! I am so sore today it’s unreal. We should be all unpacked and settled in by the weekend. I am so excited to be living downtown. I love the atmosphere. I will post pictures of our apartment as soon as it’s all set up.

Relaxing Lunch

I think my favorite lunch breaks are when Jonas and I go to the Robusto Room. It is so relaxing to just sit there in the nice leather couches and enjoy a stogie.

The Most Bitchingly Fast Bike Ever!

Well, these past few weeks have been insanely busy. Dave and I will be officially moved into our new place on Wednesday this week. I am very excited to be in the new apartment. Once we get settled in, and life is less crazy, I plan on watching all three seasons of Arrested Development because I miss that show!
