Really, Really Good-Looking

The keyboard guy at church this morning was wearing a piano-key necktie. I don't know if it really was invented by the guy from Frankie Goes To Hollywood, but it was pretty great, I thought. My only regret was that he was playing a traditional keyboard, rather than a keytar.

And if these references (or the title) confuse you, ask someone who's seen Zoolander.

The other interesting thing this morning was that the pastor was talking about how rare it is to find a friend who really cares for you, who is faithful and honest and open and caring and interested in your real well-being, how you are doing spiritually. He was talking about people who are really there for you when things go wrong, people who care enough to stick with you, who really, really love you. People you can depend on, people you can trust, people you can live your life with, no matter what comes.

At first I was a bit confused, because I don't think those people are rare at all... I have a lot of those kinds of friends. And then I realized... I am just very blessed. So for those of you who fit that description in my life: thank you.

My old roommate dubbed my cat "Zoolander", or just "the Zoo".

But we know what you think about cats. Even those who consider themselves really really really good looking.

I've always wondered why the piano key neck tie didn't spark a fury of sub brands.
I'm holding my breath for the Drum Kit Eye Patch, the Synthesizer Cummerbund, and the Sheet music patterned-fingerless-adjustable wrist size-pleather gloves.

Cummerbunds are strange things. Whose idea was it to take the body part that is, on most men, our least appealing feature, and emphasize it not just with a big band of (depending on the wedding) mint, teal, or peach and PLEATS?!?

Plus, before my computer did it's spell-check thing on this, I always thought it was "cumberbund". Whoops.... that one could really have come back to bite me.
