“What I Should’ve Said” by Elise Matthesen

April 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I got my bracelet from elisem a few days ago and I’ve been wearing it whenever I can. I love it. It’s magic. It makes me happy to look at the skull grinning on my wrist. On Fridays, Elise lists her works available for sale. Everything she makes is […]

A bit of what I read today, theater edition.

Why do we feel the need to make Jesus cute, or our pal? I have a hunch about why. The things He had to say were radical, often offensive, to the people to which He was speaking. The things He asked us to do are just about impossibly difficult. Love your enemies.

Have a meme, since I’m not doing anything.

“What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded.

A piece of an epiphany.

April 17th, 2008 · 3 Comments

The rest is in edits. This is part of a letter I sent to my e-wife and my <3 girlfriend today.  I didn’t really work this out until right now.
But the truth is, we are grownups.  We feel like children because we feel worthless or scared or voiceless and that’s what children are.  We feel […]

Baking without grains or beans.

April 13th, 2008 · 4 Comments

I love to bake, but I’m trying a new diet to try and stay away from things to which I’m theoretically (by skin testing) allergic.    That means no wheat, no corn, no legumes, no grains of any sort for a while.  I can have nuts except for peanuts and cashews.  I can have seeds, […]
