Friday night fun: cockatiels and love songs

1 Comment

Friday nights are good times to post fun and silly things.

Cockatiels

First, the cockatiels!

This one flies around outside: (DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!)

This one likes snuggles: (TRY THIS AT HOME!)

Remarkable creatures. Most people have no idea what it is like to own a bird – they are like little children. Since they can fly, you really have to work to earn their trust, or they just bite you and fly away from you all the time. And you can tell a lot about a person who cares for a bird, especially if the bird is well-trained and lives a long time. A loving, well-trained pet says good things about the character of the owner, and I think that is an important thing to consider.

Dragon Quest IX monsters!

This is what I’m going to be playing tonight – squishing innocent monsters!

Happy love songs

I was sad earlier this week, so I listened to some songs.

Here’s one of them:

and this one is another:

It’s hard to be sad when you listen to old-school love songs!

Game music

Bionic Commando – Going Commando Remix

Mega Man II – Dr. Wily – Stage 1 Remix

Happy Friday!

UPDATE: Spotted this video linked at Nice Deb:

Cute video of the best kind of bird ever made!

This is the funniest thing I ever got in an e-mail. It’s a real e-mail exchange.

It starts like this:

From: Jane Gilles
Date: Wednesday 8 Oct 2008 12.19pm
To: David Thorne
Subject: Overdue account

Dear David,
Our records indicate that your account is overdue by the amount of $233.95. If you have already made this payment please contact us within the next 7 days to confirm payment has been applied to your account and is no longer outstanding.

Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles

Second, here is a catchy tune for you to brighten your day from IMAO.us: (H/T Free Canuckistan)

And our weekly lesson in capitalism also from IMAO.us. (You have to click through to see the video)

Happy Friday!

UPDATE: I noticed that Dawn Eden had posted a serious post by Catholic Mark Shea about the different ways that Catholics and Evangelicals talk. Evangelicals are masculine and Catholics are feminine. Everybody knows that!

It’s funny to hear Catholics described like this, but it’s so true:

Similarly, Catholics should not dismiss Evangelicalism as simplistic chatter merely because Evangelicals tend to be more verbal about their faith. There is nothing noble or spiritual about the common lay Catholic’s inability to be always ready to give an account of the hope within us (cf. 1 Pet. 3:15).

But we Evangelicals also get whacked:

[1] Back in my Evangelical days, I saw a cartoon in The Wittenburg Door featuring an earnest Evangelical hunched over in prayer with eyes clamped shut, pleading, “Oh Lord, I just really worship you and I just really want to come before you and just really pray that you would just really take the words just and really out of my prayer vocabulary.” Not all spontaneous prayer is up to the glory of the task, and there is much wisdom in Catholics using the great and poetic prayers of the saints as their own.

It’s funny because it’s true!
