Wow. ..
You may have heard of this by now - but there is a 70 minute breakdown of the Phantom Menance that rips it to shreds. It is vulgar - but funny and accurate. Now, to be fair (and hearkening back to the imfamous e-mail debates of 1999), the Phantom Menance was meant to be entertaining pulp. . . it just happened to have a lousy story. It was designed to make fanboys say, "Cool!". But as a story. . . yeah. . . it runs like a poorly planned and poorly played Role Playing game where no one knows what they are doing. |

Finally!
I went on break, and had to finish some last minute homework (interspersed with decorating cookies with my husband's parents). I finished homework and had to work out a speech class. I got the speech class worked out and then got an evil head cold. Today I still have a head cold, but I can breathe through, collectively, about 2/3 of my nose! The cleaning is ON! This is good, as little itty bitty granules of red drink mix somehow started popping up, even on areas of the counter I had already cleaned, trying to stain. I think I have them quarantined now though. On another note, my husband is having way too much fun with Facebook. I am simultaneously amused and frightened. |

Huh?
Apparently, last night in my sleep I said: "_________ ___________ _______________ in the refrigerator, but we lost a week in radio time." Contest - fill in the blanks - with 2-4 words (I was yawning, we aren't certain of the length) -- what was I talking about? |

Bad day for me, Worse for them
I broke down crying at school today. One of my babies, the sweetest girl, got the shit beat out of her by her now-ex boyfriend. I had to ask her what was going on and she broke down. I took her to my room (I was on my plan period) and I just listened. She's pressing charges, and social services is handling all the details for her. I went back up to my room and just cried. And just now, I found out that another one of my students is having to deal with his mom dying. I don't know all the details yet, but he's been down and angry for the last few days so it's probably pretty bad. |

Kerchoo and sniffle.
I'm not sure if this is allergies or a head cold- guessing the latter since this is day 2- but I am beginning to imagine what it would be like if my head could be tapped like a sugar maple, just to let all the stuffiness out. On the bright side, feeling lousy is easier with short hair. On the down side again, it makes sleeping harder. On the bright side, I dreamed I was trying to do research in a quiet library while dealing with a haunted container of store-bought frosting that I was not allowed to just throw away somewhere. Then, on top of having a very LOUD lady ghost heckling me, I couldn't figure out how to turn the volume off on the computer monitor. And she made fun of me about it. She also made fun of me for doing extra credit in one of my classes. The big problem was that no one could see her, so they just heard noise coming from my general direction, as well as insults. And let's face it: if you carry around an open container of frosting wherever you go, it looks a little odd. If the lid was on she couldn't come out of her frosting, but she was very strong, and keeping the lid on one of those foil-lined cardboard containers as she pushed back was nearly impossible. I was beginning to make plans as to how to get rid of her before I woke up, and after deciding that icing a cake with her frosting would not do it, I was leaning toward a staple gun and super glue and weights. |

Facebook is a tool of the Repressive Patriarchal Oligarachy
Facebook is a tool of the Repressive Patriarchal Oligarachy. I say this having been a member for less than 24 hours. Here is what I notice - I can find all the guys I went to High School (and before) with no problem. However, gals who have gotten married -- no clue. The last names are blow apart and I can no longer make sense of who they are. Facebook is a tool designed to let men interact and connect, yet keep married women isolated and dependent upon their masculine overlords. That. . . and I just tend to remember man people by their last names. . . errgg. |

Salvation versus Spirituality
I know that for many of my friends, I come across a bit strangely with my religious ideas and focus. I found a blog post that really hit upon what is different about my approach than the approach many have. Pastor Peters writes about the difference between Salvation and Spirituality on his blog - and it is an apt distinction. The highlight of the post is this: That is why non-churchly people and places have become the sources of this spirituality (Oprah, for example). It seems to fit when you see that the commodity offered by the churches is not salvation and reconciliation with God but spirituality to complement the rich materiality of life. |

My wife's two discoveries
Whilest watching Lord of the Rings tonight, my wife made two discoveries. 1. Mulled Mead is tasty. 2. Mulled Mead is much stronger than beer. That is why I am still nursing my mug. . . . |

Writer's Block: Holiday blues
For me - the most challenging aspect is dealing with the various expectations that come up. I'm not just a husband - I am son and a son-in-law, so there is that. I am a Pastor, and that means that there's midweek services and Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and New Year's Eve. . . that's just a lot of expectations to juggle (especially when some of the expectations are over romanticized thing I'm not going to be able to meet!). |

Winter break
I am now on vacation until school starts on January 11. The speech class I need to take may end up being done over winter break, but if so it should only last roughly a week and should be online, leaving me plenty of time to enjoy myself. And clean the house... in fact, I need to do that for the next hour or so, as the preschool program is tonight at 6:30. |

No more for her...
So....I went to go get my oil changed just a few minutes ago. The guy comes out and says, "Excuse me, but...do you have any explanation about why these were under the hood of your car?" He's holding OVER A DOZEN PIPE CLEANERS! "Oh...my god. Uh...that would be my cat." Apparently Teak has not just been leaving these presents on the hood and under the windshield wipers (I have no idea how she manages that) but she's been crawling up INSIDE my car and leaving them there. I've always been really good about checking to make sure she's inside when I start my car in the morning, but I never actually thought she was crawling inside to hoard her toys. I busted out laughing and the guys told me this is by far the weirdest thing they've ever found under someone's hood. Weird cats. I have them. |
