While grocery shopping the other day, Michaelyn spied an issue of Better Homes & Gardens with an owl cake on the front. She insisted she had no choice but to add it and a bunch of cake stuff to the cart. So yesterday Michaelyn and I spent a part of the day making a blue [...]

Hey people! Christina here… Even though JT tells me I can write whatever I want, whenever I want on this here blog, I sort of made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t turn this space into ZOMG-AMPUTEE-DISABILITY-ADVOCACY-CHECK-OUT-MY-LEG central. However, I owe you guys. I owe you guys a big thank you. This journey to [...]
Life is good.

I’m still in Lawrence with mah fiancee, who prefers that I stay close enough for her to snuggle when I write. I know it’s cliche, but I’ve never really been happier in my entire life than since we started hanging out/dating. Not by a long shot. And my NCAA bracket is going to thrash hers [...]
Off to Wichita to give the mental illness talk.
March 15, 2013 By 12 Comments
Today I’m off to Wichita for Skeptics of Oz. After I gave my Skepticon 4 talk on mental illness I got flooded with requests to give the same talk. I was touched, but had to decline all of them. I’m glad I gave the mental illness talk, but it took a lot out of me. [...]
Good morning, hangover.

After a day of amazing talks, atheists once again confirmed, by evidence, that they know how to party. I didn’t feel like a victim of this happy fact last night, but this morning is a completely different story. It’s all good. We will go just as hard today. Cool things about the Madison Freethought Festival [...]
Perk of the new ‘hood.

Sorry for the light day of posting yesterday. On the bright spot, Cambridge and I got mostly moved into our new place in a neighborhood without constant gunfire and domestic violence audible from across the street. And this place comes with a bonus… Xenos Christian School. Now if only there were away to make the [...]
When a turnover is the right play to make.

I love sports. But they should always be an extension of the human desire to compete, and should never take the place of decency. I’m happy to see some young people, who are often placed in an environment where winning is given more value than morality, have their priorities in line (even when many adults [...]
So romantic.

Michaelyn sent me this message this morning. You’re not my soulmate. You don’t complete me. But you make me really happy and I love having you in my life. That made me very, very happy. I don’t want someone to need me in order to be happy. I don’t want them to have to fear [...]
Meming it up.

While I was in Las Vegas, I posed for Mallorie Nasrallah‘s Faces collection. Essentially I sat in her studio and made silly faces for her. Today, she sent me the one she chose for the series. So I posted it to facebook…and then this started happening. This shiz cracks me up. If you do one, [...]
Good times in Vegas.

Vegas has been a great time. I’m hanging out waiting to speak at UNLV on Tuesday, but Michaelyn is long gone. I like Vegas a lot. We saw Penn & Teller and they were every bit as good as billed. Mostly it was great because Michaelyn was here. I bought her a balloon hat. We [...]
