One Music Thing: The Arcade Fire, "Intervention" (because above all, irony and serendipity abide)

Friday morning
One Good Thing: Affection.
"Talk not of wasted affection. Affection never was wasted." [Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]
One Funny Thing: Hope.
“You will soon have an opportunity to make a change to your advantage.” [fortune cookie fortune]
One Weird Thing: Unrequited interest.
"The tragedy of love is indifference." [W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965)]
One God Thing: Faith.
4 For a thousand years in your sight
are like yesterday when it is past,
or like a watch in the night.
5 You sweep them away; they are like a dream,
like grass that is renewed in the morning;
6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it fades and withers.
[Psalms 90: 4-6]
One Music Thing: Dreams.
"Do you feel my strength when you call my name?"
["Love's Light," by Vertical Horizon, from There and Back Again]
One Book Thing: Anticipation.
This weekend I get to place an Amazon.com order--all for me!
"Talk of the happiness of getting a prize in a lottery! What is that to the opening of a box of books?" [Robert Southey]

Wednesday morning
One Good Thing: The sun is supposed to come out, briefly, today. Finally.
One Funny Thing: ...uh... I can't think of anything right now. It's ironic that I have to wait 10 minutes to leave for work so that I don't spend that 10 minutes sitting in traffic. I'll get to work at the same time either way. School buses, etc.
One Weird Thing: In spite of the health issues whirling around us right now, I spent the night worrying about one of the youth group girls. Transference? Not that the concerns aren't real, it just seems like a weird priority for my brain
One God Thing: "But I call to God,
and the LORD saves me.
Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice." Psalm 55:16-17
One Music Thing: In my head, I'm hearing "How long..." as sung by Bono.
One Book Thing: I've got four books going--five, if you count the one on CD--right now.

Tuesday afternoon
One Good Thing: UM defeats Florida, 41-35, in the Capitol One Bowl -- Lloyd Carr's final game as UM head coach.
One Funny Thing: I hadn't realized that Michigan made it to a bowl game this year, until I turned on the TV this afternoon at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Bad fan....
One Weird Thing: It's colder than [bleep] outside and still snowing. I literally don't remember the last day that was snow-free.
One God Thing: "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down his life for his friends."
[John 15:13]
One Music Thing: Leona Naess -- introduced to me by my friend Gayle -- is awesome. Look for the song "Chase" from Comatised.
One Book Thing: I got another book for Christmas! Repair, a Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of poetry by C.K. Williams, arrived while I was away. Yay!

Monday afternoon
One Good Thing: Sparky has new clothes and looks less orphaned (I hope).
One Funny Thing: My surprise at how cold I have been all day.
One Weird Thing: I reek of cigarette smoke because of where I ate lunch today.
One God Thing: "Are you cheerful because you belong to Christ? Does his love comfort you? Is the Holy Spirit your companion? Has Christ been gentle and loving toward you? Then make my joy complete by agreeing with each other. Have the same love. Be one in spirit and purpose." Philippians 2:1-2
One Music Thing: I'm going to trade the duplicate Favre book for the Nelson Mandela 46664 concert CD.
One Book Thing: I've finished more books in the past week or so than I did in a few months this year. Pretty sad.
