all is lost, perhaps

I'm sure you all remember the video of the beauty pageant contestant who had a rather unique view on the crisis in basic geographical knowledge or understanding in the U.S. Among, ahem, "U.S. Americans." Who don't have maps. And need help from South Africa. Or something. Okay, now, if you listened...

London

::12/26/2007-1/8/2008:: I went to London for New Years and to celebrate Erin and Sam's escape from the Peace Corp. I lived in London for a while when I was in college and it's one of my favorite places. It was wonderful to be back. The exchange rate was brutal, but I loved every minute. Day 1:...

Recent Reading

Last week or so, I finished up The Thirteenth Tale which was very engaging, apart from its sort of bad Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-like epilogue. It was, by and large, a rumination on authorship, storytelling, and the British gothic romance in particular. (And because of that, the tacky...

Ex-Gays Afraid to Come Out for Fear of Persecution!

I personally don't like describing myself as "ex-gay," however; it communicates a quick sound bite of the reality and a direction of many. So while others might be disturbed by the term, "ex-gay" I feel it is a waste of time to wrangle over words that work in concisely communicating. Yes, folks I am...

I felt that if I could have married Little Red Riding Hood, I should have known perfect bliss.” Which got me thinking who my first love...

I don't care what all those other parents say -

I think Chuck E. Cheese is a fantastic establishment! We just returned from there and I ask you, what other restaurant is designed so that your children can run around and make that kind of noise? I frequently hear parents say they can't stand the noise and chaos there. I can understand where...

Happy or Merry?

I'm on a mission. A mission to find out which is the correct or simply more popular form of Seasonal greeting; Merry Christmas or Happy Christmas.

Scan of the Week: Tricks and Manners

I have been asked where the name "Tricks and Manners" comes from, if anywhere. It definitely came from somewhere: it comes from Charles Dickens.

Reading Challenge: The "Authors" Authors

So did you have that card game called "Authors" when you were a kid? Whitman produced it: a deck of cards with 11 (or in some decks, 13) authors' portraits and four of their book titles. You played it like "Fish": "Do you have any Robert Louis Stevensons?" "Nope! Go Fish." (I don't think we ever...
