More alarm clock issues
April 4th, 2006 by Bill
Instead of the CD player, I went with the radio to wake me up. I set it to a station that seemed inoffensive while I was reading late at night. I guess I wasn’t paying close attention.
This morning I woke to someone urging me to accept the salvation of Christ. There was also something to do with a haven. Possibly in Califonia. It was a pleasant, if insistent voice. And whoever it was had concerns about The Da Vinci Code.
I recall groggily muttering, “For heaven’s sake, it’s a book, pal. Fiction. Get over it!”
(For the record, the book’s an okay thriller. Extremely well paced but written with pretty pedestrian prose.)
How did I manage to set my alarm to a station like that?
Another aside: the other day I watched the movie Domino. It is easily the stupidest movie I’ve seen in a very long time. Great example of cinematic gibberish. I would recommend seeing it if only for seeing how bad bad gets but it’s also offensively awful with it’s 13-year old boy’s idea of cool violence.
How grown adults can spend their time working on crap like this and hold their heads up is beyond me.
Am I cranky? Yeah. (The money spent on that moronic movie could have been spent on something useful. That’s the tragedy of movies like that - not that they are bad. There are bad movies that you can tell someone was at least trying to do something worthwhile. In the case of Domino, this is a cynical display of bad movie making. It gets worse in that they try to sell it by telling you about the great Tony Scott cinematic style. What a load of manure.)
how DO so many moronic movies get made?? it astounds me!
Maybe your clock radio was trying to tell you something.
So, have you accepted Christ to be your personal Lord and Savior?
