more Methodist Tweets

Some more of my favorite tweets that show up in my methodist, methodism, umc search.

I have been church hopping all morning. I’m drunk of course. The Catholics hated me, but the Methodists love me!

If golden retreivers were people, I  think they would be Methodists who shop at Lands End and vacation in New England.

You can live with me.  I live in a Methodist Church.  Yeh damn cool.

My mom explaining the methodist religion: methodists are kind of like relaxed catholics. lutherans are crazy. look at your aunt.

Just got a note from Jesus inviting me to join the local Methodist church. It was addressed ‘Hello darling’. Who knew Jesus was such a fruit

Feel Good Friday

My video for feelgoodfriday is the video duo of Rodrigo y Gabriela on Conan, though it hurts my hands to watch them.

facebook drag and drop

Everyone is familiar with the changes on facebook, but I think some of them are pretty handy. Here’s a video that discusses the sidebar. Mari’s complaint re: temperamental can be solved by clicking More at the bottom of the list. I also like the dragging you can do in the fb chat list, and maybe it will inspire me to make my own videos in the future.

Methodist Tweets

Most people who use twitter a lot find that using an application like Tweetdeck makes usage much more manageable. You can make columns that help you find other people interested in similar topics, and organize the people you follow to keep things straight. One of the columns I use is a search which shows me when people talk about Methodism or Methodists or even the United Methodist Church, if they use the letters UMC.

I’ve learned a lot from those columns, and have saved some of the tweets that I found most hilarious. These aren’t tweets that occurred today, but they’re my favorites for the day.

Twitter is mostly public  so I suppose I could credit the people who tweeted these, but somehow it seems to make more sense to leave their twitter IDs off the posts.

1. Ummm…this chick is singing the most Methodist version of his eye is on the sparrow ever.

2. ThisWeek Deep Fried Snickers. Donut Holes. Anything from the Methodist Church eatery. (in reply to: The Lunch Ladies and myself will be doing doing a video of fair foods. Anyone have a favorite you want us to tackle?)

3. Are all these  brick churches with white steeples Methodist?  Oh wait… this is Utah….  Never mind.

4. Does anyone else think KFC’s “unthink” ad campaign & #rethinkchurch look eerily similar?

5. I just walked past a methodist church and the sermon for this week is gonna be “the realistic church” that can’t be good.

Fuzzy Fur Feet (part 2)

In July, I bought my Vibram Fivefingers shoes and have really enjoyed them. I’ve worn them for a lot of walking, even when I’m not walking just for exercise. I wore them all over the place at The Southern Festival of Books and though there was a lot of wet marble, I was comfortable, if a little more damp than I would have been in regular shoes. If you haven’t already seen these shoes, expect to see more, as well as other brands that are designed to be as closes to being barefoot as possible. Even Nike is getting in to the act. Check out the video after the break for a review of the shoe and concept.

Southern Festival of Books: the writers

Trenton Lee Stewart, Kathy Mattea, Kate DiCamillo, Silas House, and Jason Howard were the only authors my wife and I were able to see during the three days of The Southern Festival of Books in Nashville. More than 200 authors were present, but we could only be there for 1 day.  Despite what we missed, what we attended was well worth the trip.

I’m a Librocubicularist

Amy and I had a great time yesterday in Nashville at the Southern Festival of Books.

Meo Mio’s

I don’t know if you will ever accidentally find yourself in Bath Springs, Tennessee, but if you do, you will probably do a double take when you pass by Meo Mio’s. After all, there really shouldn’t be a restaurant at all in the middle of this sparsely populated restaurant, let alone one with a bar and crawfish tails.

fuzzy fur feet

Dr. Seuss’s Foot Book comes to mind almost every time I put on my new vibram® fivefingers®.  I hesitate to call them shoes, because they’re really not shoes in the traditional sense, as you can see from the picture.
