• Woke up early and am now waiting: gas company ('all day' appointment is not an appointment) and internet (1 to 5 is closer to appointment). #
• Amazingly enough, Time Warner is here early to install THE INTERNETS. Hopefully it won't take too long… #

• I'm listening to The Choir's new album, Burning Like the Midnight Sun. It is really good. #

I’ve been listening to The Choir for years; in many ways, their music has been more influential on me than any other band. Their Speckled Bird album began my transition away from traditional “Christian rock” which, while often competently and expertly played, lacked any real personality, to music that came more directly from the personal experiences of the members. With Burning Like The Midnight Sun The Choir continues to create deeply personal music with a distinct, original sound. Each of the members is at the top of their game musically, and I especially like hearing more of Dan Michael’s saxophone. Lyrically, The Choir continues to present issues of faith and relationships in a way that is not preachy or candy-coated, but rooted in real life. For fans, this album is a welcome return of The Choir, showing that they haven’t lost anything in the years between albums. For new listeners, this is an accessible album that will give them a good start in looking into the rest of The Choir’s work.

• The Doctor playing football (soccer) = superbly brilliant. I love episodes where the Doctor has to be "normal" and totally fails at it. #
