and again
see, i do post all the time. you guys just never notice. trust me on this one. "mmhmm!" *nods head like BeccaWaskey*

listening to::
best of Five Iron, a CD made for me by my good buddy Daniel Campbell

location::
sitting halfway out of my window, 3rd floor, Lincoln (Ketler Side), facing Lincoln Lawn and Henry B

currently::
watching a film crew set up. they're taking their gear out of a white van. i wonder what they're doing. that's pretty much the reason that i'm sitting here, other than the fact that it's not that cold outside, the view up here is pretty sweet, and i have nothing better to do.

ooh, now the're clipping a lavalier mic to the guy in tan pants, jacket, and hair. he must be like the anchor guy. he looks like Pastor Harvey, but Pastor Harvey doesn't have that much hair on top. i wonder why they're here. they seem to be looking for somewhere to film. oh wow, that's a nice video camera. it would be sweet have one like that. i love how they have one of those big boom microphones with the fuzzy wind guard. it's a really furry one. ...looks like a raccoon on a stick. oh, here comes two girls toward them from across Lincoln Lawn. they appear to be walking with determination...they must be with the crew. they yelled something at them, but i couldn't understand it. oh! oh !! wait a sec!!! the guy just yelled back to her and it sounded like he was speaking Dutch. ...yeah, they're all talking with like an icelandic-type accent. i know who these guys are!!! this is the Norwegian Television crew! they're here to do a peice on Dr. Throckmorton! yes, that's right, GCC's own director of mental/emotional/spiritual counselling--the guy to whom i referred people for psychiatric help when the mass emailing blitz was going on last year.

last year, when i referred all those people to him, i did it jokingly. this was mostly because i thought that the job of a campus counsellor was a sort-of silly one, and i figured that Dr. Throckmorton was probably the right fruitcake for the job. of course, that was before i had even met Dr. Throckmorton. now that i have met him (since he is one of the praise team leaders at FCC) and know him as "Warren", i realize he's actually a pretty awesome guy who loves the Lord. i feel bad now about making fun of him, but oh well, i suppose every year i grow up a little. anyways, back to the point of this, apparently he's one of the world's foremost speakers/writers on ex-gay counselling, or, as he described it, "gender affirmation". for more: read here. last week at praise team practice, Michael Frey, the leader of my team, informed us that after practice on the next monday night (that would be today), Warren wanted us to stay after and play along with some of the songs he's written. i knew that Warren had written quite a bit of Christian music, and even had put out several albums, but i never would have guessed that that would have led into an opportunity to play Christian music on Norwegian TV...hahahahahaha..oh man. but--i'm getting ahead of myself...

so, this Norwegian television station is doing a peice on ex-gay counselling--*ahem* i mean: "gender affirmation" counselling--and they also want to get some of Dr. Throckmorton playing his songs, especially a couple off of his album that is directed toward that topic. (note: does anybody else think it is a bit unusual to record an album that is dedicated to affirming the correct roles of males and females? maybe a little strange, but i suppose there's a need for it somewhere, somehow.)

right, so::
i'm sure that if you pay attention to The Neuch's blog, or have just clicked that link and then read under the heading "I'm Going to Be on Dutch TV", then you've already heard all this before. too bad, i like repeating things. The Neuch has been beside himself with glee this week because of the fact that he gets to be filmed by a Norwegian television station playing guitar. i mean, it is pretty cool...but mostly because it's so funny ( = ha-ha. and peculiar. again.)
