I’ve had in-laws in, a job interview that never materialized, and all kinds of other reasons not to write here. Or read, for that matter. I’m making my way through Barth, but not nearly as quickly as I’d hoped. Tuesday is my next “interview” with EC, and I imagine I’m going to turn down the [...]
Okay, last night’s dream was so bizarre that I can’t even begin to interpret it. I was a student on a college campus built on a series of terraces on a steep hill. To get from a high point to a low point, there were no stairs, so everyone, from eighteen-year-old students to sixty-year-old professors, [...]
I forget whether it did back in college or whether I was just too sleep-deprived to maintain attention, but at this point, I’m about twenty pages into The Birth of Tragedy, and I’m actually getting out of it what people say is in there. I’m also chugging through Barth’s Dogmatics in Outline. If I’ve got [...]
I’ve finished up the Papal encyclical Evangelium Vitae, and I’ve started Karl Barth’s Dogmatics in Outline. I’ve also picked up Eats, Shoots, and Leaves, a British humor book about punctuation, from the public library, so I’m not completely devoting myself to hard-hitting theology. No real recollection of the content of my dream last night, but [...]
I had a full-fledged comic book ripoff dream last night. In the dream I was a talking mouse. By whatever means (I remember more towards the end of the dream), I had been changed into a talking mouse, and by exposure to a failed MiracleGro experiment, I had grown to thirty feet tall. I had [...]
I dreamed last night that I was playing third base on some kind of baseball team. The thing is, the batter was in a horserace-style gate that would open just before the pitcher delivered. Beyond that, I fielded a couple choppers down the line, but when I threw the runners out, after the first one [...]
When I went to sleep last night, they were just beginning their all-night marathon. This morning, it looks like like Pennsylvania went Kerry, Florida went Bush, and Ohio is going to be the new legal battleground. Unless one believes Fox News, which has Ohio already in the Bush column. I suppose Fox News, if nothing [...]
All this baloney about “gaining an hour…” whole lot of good it does when it’s pitch dark at seven o’clock and I’m getting tired at eight! I think all of us from Indiana who have landed in states that capitulated to the totalitarian “let Uncle Sam tell you when the day starts and stops” plot [...]
