I'm a fan of documentaries, human interest and psychology pieces, and how-it's-made sort of films. So when somebody linked me to the Russian-hosted Best Documentaries blog, I was in bliss! Shortly after, I discovered the @Google YouTube series, and found myself watching and listening often. In 2008, I started tracking my viewership of these things ( Read more... )

DANGIT!!!!!!!! Livejournal just ate a whole long entry that I'd written. And I'd already polished the sentences and stuff. Dangit, dangit, dangit...

Well, what I had been saying is that I'm watching Facing the Giants tonight for the first time ever. I know, I know, what type of Christian am I? This is like the flagship movie for us ... and thank ( Read more... )

I'm a reader. Since the age of five, I always have been and I always hope to be. You'll understand why I thank God for letting me live in the age of the Internet ( Read more... )

Well, now. I've fallen behind with photos on gerr-bon-365 and it's bothering me, being somewhat of a perfectionist as I am. I like to finish things that I start. And I like to find excuses for when I can't. Bah, humbug.

But then, speaking of photography, I have been published once again, in the Schmap! Guide to Los Angeles. It's just an internet travel guide ( Read more... )

Last night at Downtown Disney, Gerry and I sat and listened to a classical violinist for a while. He had an orchestral accompaniment track going on speakers in the background, and his music was wonderful and soothing. However, because I was raised on good classical music, I could tell each time that he fudged a note or skipped a beat. It was weird ( Read more... )

Over the weekend, Gerry and I went with some friends to see the movie Taking Woodstock. It stays away from the obvious story of the Woodstock concerts and artists, and instead looks behind the scenes at its effects on the families of White Creek, New York -- and one family in particular ( Read more... )

Two songs that I am really loving right now:

"King Without a Crown" - Matisyahu. It's so ... messianic. Joyful. Hopeful. The first time I heard this reggae song was after the wedding as Gerry and I drove north to Napa Valley. The artist is an Orthodox Jew, apparently, and he wears his full orthodox garb in concert or in videos. Wild!
