Movie Music Videos

After seeing Lars and the Real Girl and posting the movie trailer, I thought about other movies I've seen that make pretty decent music videos and/or movie summaries. So, for no other reason other than these are pretty good, please enjoy: (the first is a little gritty and the second is a cute little Jane Austen thing)


Children of Men (R) - Apocalypse Please by Muse




Persuasion (2007) - Run by Snow Patrol

Things we forgot to post about

Lock-In: It should have been re-named "Playstation & Wii with other stuff night" because the videogaming dominated this year. The next one tentatively scheduled for sometime in December.

Ask A Priest Night: It was great. Diana read our questions aloud to Fr. Nick, who stumped us all
by answering them all... even the "anonymous" question about aliens. Fr. Nick mentioned "The Day The Earth Stood Still," which sounds like the perfect flick for our next movie night.

Jeopardy: After a completely unfair skewing of points and scoring, Chu Chu and Windell's team finally won the game formerly dominated by Diana and Pedro.

A's Game: Well, we didn't win, but at least we got a good deal on hotdogs. ha ha. The forest fires gave us an eerie sunset and we had lots of opportunities to shout things - perfectly PG-rated things.. You know, like the kinds of things Jesus would probably shout during the game. Our praying must have paid off because we came back to win the game the following day.

Uninvited Guest Request

If you haven't provided your upcoming graduation or other end-of-the-year event information, it will make it hard for me and others to happily show up as uninvited guests :) I don't know about you, but I've waited all year to make a complete fool of myself in a bleacher full of relatives on your behalf. The more advance notice you provide will help us get a larger cheering section for you. Congratulations!

Lock-In prep

We're getting ready for our Lock-In this Friday and my not so subtle hints at the "at the door admission" being $10 instead of $5 has led to people handing in thier permission forms earlier than ever. Nice.
At Principal Margaret's reception this Sunday, someone graciously offered to bake us cookies, so early arrivers will have first dibs on the fresh-baked treats. Another new addition to our all-night menu are our hit-selling nachos. Yum!
