Idle Musings

My sister, who blogs over at My Swirly Ageless Mind (on my bloglist), has a crush on Hillsong's Joel Houston and we recently saw a picture of him dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz for a costume party (I hope... otherwise the costume would be pretty hard to explain). I could be polite and say that he looked pretty in the costume but only if pretty could be synonymous with hilarious or, well, disturbing (imagine a hirsute six foot five inch giant in ribboned pigtails and a short baby blue pinafore). Anyway, I was thinking about it and it occurred to me that should he and his friends ever need to go in Scooby Doo Costumes, he would make a pretty good Shaggy. Of course, he would have to do something about his posture and such. Also, Shaggy's kind of scrawny and lanky, so he might have to starve himself for a week or so for the effect to be spot on. Anyway, if I'm thinking about possible costumes for a Hillsong worship leader, that means I probably spend too much time dawdling and having idle musings. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than obsessing about the things I do have to think about, which is my natural inclination. Having said that, guilt has overcome me and I'm now off to research Waldorf stuff for my daughter's homeschooling.

geez, what's up with us? you liking reubs and me, going for a ginormous and tattooed bloke in a dorothy costume...wait, it doesn't make sense to put reubs in the same sentence with my description of joel. anyway, i got a bad case of gas after seeing that pic.
i really should remind myself that he's human just like me and i should just accept him for who he is...because that's how love works, right?
yaaaaaaaks!

Ha- I think costumes like that are hilarious. It's only disturbing when they look like the person should dress that way!
