I did suggest that actual content -as in things that might provoke thought or at least interest- might be posted today. Unfortunately, I can’t guarantee that the following will deliver on either of those counts.
Among other things, I’ve spent some time in the last few days cleaning out my email folders. This is […]

I think I’ve successfully switched the LJ feed to draw from this site instead of the old one, but I’m just testing. Please disregard… actual content may appear tonight…
ACK! Sorry for flooding Friends lists… apparently the feed is up and running…

I’ve been swamped. Matt’s been sick, youth group kids are having crises, there’s writing and editing goals and deadlines piling up, and the house is a mess, which doesn’t help anything.
As such, I’ll make it clear right now that this post contains very little in the way of original thought and analysis. However, […]

That’s right.
It’s not such a bad idea, really…

We just realized our kitchen sink leaks.
Rather, the garbage disposal is leaking, which means it’s not just water, it’s nasty brown food particles that turn into sludge in the under-sink cabinet.
Oh, and apparently it’s been happening for some time. The dishwasher detergent box shows signs of having absorbed two inches’ worth of liquid, though it’s […]

I’ve only read about 65 pages […]

Minutes spent sitting in front of the computer with the intent of writing: 270
Words written: 691
This is not a good ratio.
On the up side, I also went for a bike ride and took a shower, and I started reading From Homer to Harry Potter: A Handbook on Myth and Fantasy, […]

In my opinion, the best reason to watch CSI:Miami is to watch David Caruso over-deliver his lines.
Is it just me?

I know I’ve been quiet - been reading most of the weekend away, though I should have been writing. I’m getting things out of the way while I’m at work today, though, so I can write tonight.
I’d like to draw your attention to literary agent Nathan Bransford’s Stupendously Ultimate First Line Challenge, in which all […]

Did you know that Vicks’ VapoRub has turpentine in it?
Yep, that’s the same kind of turpentine you’d use for paint thinner.
It’s listed as an inactive ingredient, but it was actually used in ancient times, mixed with animal fat, as a primitive chest rub just like VapoRub. So how inactive is it? I’m not willing to […]
