Jeff Pre-carnate...?

A Frightening resemblance.

practice blues

Here's a blues that you can practice with. Get serious, or your blues will be lacking.

Christmas blues.

Here's an idea I had for when we get together. Let's all do some blues. Everyone can sing and play, so there should be no getting out of this. You can bring instruments, prepare some verses, scat, or just let it go on the fly (probably the best plan. I rounded up a video of Fats McPhereson and Joe Wallace demonstrating some F blues.

oh the memories...

Here's looking forward to Christmas in Jamestown:

Also featuring Joel HMS (how's my shovel) Land:

Snow day in Denver

good morning. Our church service has been cancelled. We only have 2-4 inches of snow, but its really cold......thought you northerners would get a kick out of that.

And while we're at it...

The other day I was browsing the internet and came across this studly figure. and then, as I stared I realized that I was looking at myself 20 years later. Notice the similar facial features, and it looks like I never decided to remove the mole on the left side of my face. click for bigger image.

brothers?

Wow you look sharp! Does anyone else see the resemblence between these two?

Or is it just me...

Have a safe trip home you guys and we'll see you up there in a few.

Finished

I turned in my final paper today at 6pm, and I am now finished! I don't know what to do with myself. Maybe catching up on sleep would be a good step. Joel and I are flying home Friday morning. I can't wait.

I feel this classy right now:

Nov. Band trip, finals, and such

Hey gang,
I know I promised you all some pics of the band tour but I didn't take many and several are on my phone and I can't figure out how to put them on here yet. If I do, I will. Anyway, if I could sum up the band trip in one word, it would be probably be: Interesting. From the crappy hotel (which included switching rooms three times before we got a good one, haha), to the driver (who had to make a u-turn into the right lane coming back across the border), to the performances (which went well!), and to the amazing Winnipeg Symphony. It was fun and worth the troubles and definitely memorable. I can go into details about the trip for those of you who want to know more, when we meet at Christmas time.
I have one final this coming week, then the other 5 finals are during finals week (15th-18th). So I should be pretty busy till Christmas break. I can't wait till Christmas rolls around, it shall be glorious!

AKLand

Greetings from finals week!

one week left of classes before winter break starts! i am writing from a computer lab where i am working on a video project. or sitting here for a million hours waiting for my video to save. it's been "fun" and "wonderful", actually it has been a royal disaster. let's just say that i have dropped my video art class for next semester. on a brighter note i have 25 pages of papers to write and a giant critique of all of my work with the entire faculty next week. then it will be christmas!

2009 Calendar

This is the time of year I usually start working on the family calendar. I decided this year I'm going to place orders and (sigh) ask for reimbursement. They run $20 each -Correction, I found a deal for $10 + tax! If anyone's still interested, I'll get going!

Keegan has BIG news...

Our bean is due July 15th 2009. We are all so excited for Keegan to be a big brother.

JHS Choir

Think back about 30+ years when the Prentice three were singing in the JHS Choir. I went to their Christmas concert tonight and it surely brought back memories. Then the JC Choir joined in for a number (I guess the first time ever). More memories. I'm surely grateful that everyone in the family likes to sing. No more backing out, Julie. The proof is right there on the Blog and Keegan has a good start. Would you care to try again for a church number on Dec. 28th?

Cozy

I know that having a fireplace is nothing new for the Prentice/Land family, but it is for me. Since I was young I have dreamed of having a cozy fireplace. We have been in our house for a few years but this is the first winter we are actually using the fireplace and its beautiful! I bought the screen off of craigslist, we are going to paint it brown to match the woodwork. Come to Denver and sit in front of the fire with me.

Gonna jump up and down

We've been practicing this one!

I'M GONNA JUMP UP AND DOWN, Gonna spin right around, Gonna praise Your Name forever. Gonna shout out loud, Gonna deafen the crowd, Gonna send my praise to heaven.
I will run this race and I will never stop. I'll follow Jesus till the day I drop. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. When you've got such a lot, When you've got not a lot, What? Be happy!
