Speaking Of

Speaking of rockabilly (see previous post), the highlight of my day today may very well have been seeing a rockabilly family at church. Cuffed jeans and white tees on the guys (including an adorable little boy with a mohawk), black rectangular glasses and wallet chain, and the gal was rocking a great black dress-and-boots combo. I love the diversity at Substance.

Speaking of Substance and to some extent diversity, I now have two sets of acquaintances with the same ridiculously unique names. At least the [K/C]onrads have different first initials so it's easier to reference which one I mean. It still amuses me that they were both the first other [K/C]onrads either had met. But I'm going to be getting involved with the production team at Substance working on sound (I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a sound board after 7-8 years!), and the guy in charge of that is named Caleb. This makes him the second Caleb I have ever met and will possibly be talking to on a regular basis, and this time I don't have initial differences to work with. I'm not good with names, and I have a hard enough time keeping track of multiple different Bens, Lizs, Jons, and Andrews. But if I meet another Damaris or Valerie anytime soon, I might do like I do at camp at start calling everyone "hey you" or "gals/guys". Not that the Madelines we had one week weren't adorable with their very specific opinions of how to pronounce the name.

Speaking of sound, Pastor Peter was wired for it this morning. His "charismatic shuffle" was just about the funniest thing I've seen all week. I wonder if he's that hyper all week long, or if he saves it up for Sunday mornings?

And speaking of being hyper, there were some guys somewhere on our block last night who were up shouting and singing and just generally being hooligans until the wee hours of the morning last night. So I might catch a bit of a nap and then hit up the massive pile of homework due Monday... espresso and then homework.

Oh... and speaking of roller derby, I got out the skates I bought on a whim at Everyday People and spent all of yesterday evening skating around my house, and in particular my kitchen. It probably wasn't a great idea to skate around with the oven on and open and with a knife in my hands, but cooking on roller skates is the most fun I've had in quite a while.
