Yay! New motherboard and faster CPU (2.6 GHz) and my computer hasn't crashed since.
Anyway, it's been quite a while since my last update. There have been a lot of new people at church. Church has been packed the past few Sundays. The church we rent from is building a new sanctuary with three times the capacity. Construction hasn't even started yet, but it looks like there won't be much trouble filling the new place. God is awesome!
Our College and Career group has grown, too. So much that we're planning on splitting up the group into a college group and a career group. The individuals who are literally in college are off leading the high school and junior high kids anyway. So that leaves the people in the career group, people my age (give or take five years or so.) We have to think of a better name than just "Career group"...
I've been practicing singing out loud while playing an acoustic guitar, but just on my own. It's kinda hard and confusing at first to do them both at the same time. An acoustic guitar's not even my primary instrument. I play the bass guitar on Sundays. Not that singing while playing the bass is any easier. That's probably harder, although not as hard as playing the drums while singing. Now that's hard. I'm still amazed when I see our drummer, Nikki, singing along while playing. Somebody bring that girl a mic.
The Evolution 2004 fighting game tournament was held just this weekend at Cal Poly Pomona. They had the US debut of the Tekken 5 arcade machine at the free play area. (No pictures allowed, though.) However, the highlight has got to be the match between Daigo Umehara (one of the best Japanese players) and Justin Wong (3 time Marvel vs Capcom 2 champ) during the Street Fighter III finals. Here's a video. I can't wait to get this year's DVD.
