Musings in Search of a Muse

Tomorrow night's Bible Study group is going to watch a video on street preaching as part of our study of growth through ministry. There's no DVD player in the house we'll be at so my original plan was to use my computer but the audio connector on the ol' girl is broken and it's a bit of a pain in the butt to connect the beastie. Further, as I type this post I've noticed that even more keys are going bad, particularly in the QWERTY row. So I'm not sure I want to drag the machine up there to use it.

I would disconnect my DVD player and take it up - and I still might - but I've been shopping over the past few weeks for a good but inexpensive (i.e., under forty bucks) DVD player to leave with the family that hosts the meeting. So after school today I stopped at an electronics mega-store and got stopped by a performance by Blue Man Group on the best large screen monitor I had ever seen. Yup, I had to buy it.

Not the $3000.00 monitor. I hopped over to the DVD aisle and picked up The Complex Rock Tour Live. I haven't liked enough of the group's music to buy more than a few tracks from iTunes but it looked like they put on one heck of a show so I figured twelve bucks for the disc would be a safe investment. I wasn't wrong about it being worth the money nor about the quality of the show. It was fabulous, even the tunes I wouldn't buy otherwise. The whole band is scarily hard working and scarily talented. I just wish their rendition of The Who's "Baba O'Reilly" was available for download because it is better than the original in many ways.
