Fun title

"Say Something Theological!" from Moral Discenment in the Christian Life by James M. Gustafson.

This title reminds me of when I was taking German in third and fourth grade, and people would look at me and order me to "Say something German!", and I would just have this look of "What should I say?". So for all of the theology nerds on the f-list, can you say something theological?

Sunbeam Wars

2007-10-03T15:51:42Z

There is one sunbeam in the whole house but it is not big enough for three kitties. So while I have been researching the cataloging of websites. There have been hisses and growls all around. Jelly currently has a puffed up tail, which is the cutest thing ever.

Owwww!

Excuse any bad typing as i have a small, grey kitty on my chest. She is being sweet so i really don't wish to disturb her.

So on to the owww! I sprained my knee getting off of a metra train. It hurts. But I am otherwise fine. ahn1010 is doing an amazing job taking care of me. She is the best.

What do you think this book is about?

2007-08-30T17:49:05Z

Men Behaving Badly

Believe it or not it is about the first and second books of Samuel. Isn't that brilliant?

Ever had that feeling you were being lied to...

It's because you are. This article, about the abuse of copyright by content holders, summarizes one of the many things that is wrong with our view of copyright in the modern age.

Did you know copyright is actually written into our constitution? And that ownership is important, but the fair use is just as important.

I guess I am blinded

by my own reading habits.

But not reading for a whole year.

My mom grounded me from reading when I was a kid, I would go behind her back for the printed word.

I feel a little evil now

I have the best dog ever. This is not up for discussion she really is a great dog.

It is a beautiful day. That makes me smile.

I start my new job soon, where being a font of useless information is a good thing.

One of W's many problems

2007-08-01T13:05:47Z

Listening to NPR I was reminded of a line from a movie that explained one of W's many problems. The interviewer questioned the wisdom of having a Navy general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs when we are involved in a couple of land wars in Asia. "Land wars in Asia," I thought, "something about that phase sounds familiar." And then the light bulb went off...

"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous in 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well known is this: 'Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.'" -The Princess Bride

This explains something.

This is interesting

Sicko

2007-06-25T14:24:00Z

Sicko even got a good review from Christianity Today! I really want to see this movie now, if Christianity Today can actually give it a good review that is an impressive feat.

I meant to write a review of Micheal Tolliver Lives, but i just don't have it in me.

Author appearance

2007-06-21T19:08:26Z

One of my favourite authors, Armisted Maupin, will be at the Newberry on Tuesday. He will be reading from his new book Michael Tolliver Lives.

First of all: I am not the kind of girl to go "Squee!!!!" but a new book about Michael Mouse, makes me go "squee!!!"

Second: If anyone would like to join me at the Newberry, I would love the company. Just let me know

Borked

2007-06-11T14:55:13Z

Does anyone remember Judge Robert Bork? The notoriously conservative, anti-tori supreme court nominee who was famously "Borked"?

Well, suddenly after a fall at the Yale Club he is a little more pro-tort, at least when he is the one who is personally injured.
