You blogwatched me too–
But not as much as I blogwatched you…

Amy Welborn: “And Jordan baptized Jesus in the john.” Hee!! I know some people find this kind of thing cheesy, but I love it like whoa. (And yes, I used to own at least two volumes of Anguished English, and one of English As She Is Spoke.)

Church of the Masses: Toward a theology of the movies.

Dappled Things: What is a vocation? (Marriage compared to the religious life, and more.)

Outer Life: In which our hero dreams of reading his own biography. Rather powerful–you could smuggle in some good aesthetic theory here, and some equally-intriguing theology, if you were into that sort of thing. Via About Last Night.

The Rat: I realized today that I trust Ratty to post all the links that I think are just a shade too catty for this little blog. (Huh–do cats eat rats? Do rats eat cats? Do vases have eyes? If you get all the references in this parenthetical, are you currently high?) Anyway, pop on over to La Rodentissima for exceptionally moving quotes from great literature… and stuff I’m too ashamed to post here.

Guess Who’s Coming to Iftar?: Michael Totten, that’s who. Hezbollah loves Giuliani, the hot war pretends it’s not-war, and more…. I forget where I found this.

And: “They couldn’t hit an elephant at this dist–” (or, famous last words. And really powerful, actually. No matter how many of these are apocryphal, they act as a sort of kaleidoscope of beliefs about the next life and its relationship to this one. I love the ones that play on theater conventions.) Via Dappled Things.

Current mood: bi-furious
Current music: I believe in ecstasy
