First off, I strongly recommend that you listen to this song right here. It’s by The Decemberists and titled “The Mariner’s Revenge Song.” To my knowledge there is no official video, but I thought this production was pretty good. The song style, words, and music are all akin to a classic pirate’s shanty and the story is most entertaining. Go on. Watch it. You know you want to. I can almost guarantee that you’ll smile from ear to ear from the wickedly delightful lyrics. And, if you can listen to it and not feel like you’re on a pirate’s vessel, then you win today’s prize.
Well? Whaddya think? If you’re like me, after listening to it a few times I had to track down the lyrics and read the entire tale myself.
Second off, I have three episodes of Firefly left. I knew I would like the show from the onset, and I knew it was going to end prematurely, but still I can’t help but wonder how something like this could get canceled? It’s definitely better than plenty o’ other crap that makes it to tv.
Thirdly, I got an email from the library telling me Best Served Cold was in and on hold for me. Of course, I just started reading Ted Dekker’s Green, so I’ll go pick it up and hopefully finish Green quickly enough.
Fourthly, here’s an interesting blog post by Al Mohler. It discusses how many abortion workers turn to pro-life after years of work. Sad, but encouraging, methinks.
We’re in a winter storm warning until tomorrow night or Saturday or something. Expect 1-4 inches or something like that, so it’s said. Who knows? I know brevity is in order now. There’s much afoot and I must hasten on.
Find Him. Bind him. Tie him to a pole and break his fingers to splinters. Drag him to a hole until he wakes up naked, clawing at the ceiling of his grave… I hope you gave it a listen. So it goes.
