I had a great day--spent time with unibear , although sadly not a lot as she was feeling under the weather, but also intercepted with cinchntouch and hufe. Only regret was not getting a pic of unibear , cinchntouch and I together. It has been many years since we were all in the same place atthe same time. Great Pride but very tired now from sun and crowds and walking...

I thought I would provide a link to my thoughts on the new Trek film.  I have to be honest, I didn't really care for the movie all that much and thought that I would link here to see if anyone else was having some of the same reactions I was having to it. http://cinchntouch.livejournal.com/502762.html#cutid1

I looked at a list of the films of Toshiro Mifune and have concluded that it will be impossible to see all of them. Today's motion picture, to be watched while americanstd is out at a client meeting, is "Zatoichi and the Festival of Fire". I have the whole collection on my Netflix queue but have a feeling they will all run together in my head after a while. Of interest to the Catholic readership...

Latest book finished. I had already seen the movies "Night Watch" and "Day Watch" which are loosely adapted from this book, but fun in their own right. It turns out that living amidst humanity are magic users called "Others". They're divided into the Light Others who work the Night Watch and the Dark Others who work the Day Watch. Much of their time is spent trying to swing uninitiated Others to one...

I've decided to start blogging whatever books I've just finished, the way desert_vixen and kittikattie do. I'm presently looking for a book icon. I have this button that shows a Day of the Dead skeleton reading a volume of Zapata, but haven't found it as a picture online yet. So recently I've finished: Solomon, Robert. "Living with Nietzsche: What the Great 'Immoralist' Has to Teach...

Much of this has already been discussed between my LJ and cinchntouch 's. Cinch and I have commented on how the Gospel writer is quite uninterested in the conception of Jesus, with a sly hint that she might not really have been a virgin. "She was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit" could mean the HS got her pregnant--or it was through the Spirit that the pregnancy was found out. Furthermore...

cinchntouch and I are starting at the beginning of the New Testament tonight. We're going to read chapter 1 and discuss.

I am not going to attempt to restate this, as cinchntouch has already presented it so eloquently here . It is specifically about Christianity and same-sex marriage. You should read it.

Reading a short exchange between cinchntouch and electorprince is making me think I need to pack a carpetbag and move to some small town in Montana or something so I can become mayor and then governor so that maybe *I* can become VP or hell, even POTUS. Consider my qualifications: B.A. International Relations, George Mason University, 1983 Lived in Canada 1990-2002 Lived in Mexico...
