… Well now, Monday’s almost over. I was going to share with you a perfectly acceptable way to waste time on line but then I got busy at my real job. Real jobs suck. Anyway… Mary Is My Homegirl. And this picture of Ryan Gosling being all “hey girl” for the Eastern gals. Source: Eastern Orthodox Ryan Gosling Read more
… Wonderful men, I have not forgotten you. Please refer to this link while I blather on below. The newest thing in beauty creams is something called BB Cream. BB Cream is a blemish balm, hence the B.B. name. It’s a multipurpose cream that is supposed to even skin tone, hydrate, provide sunblock protection, work as a primer and replace the need for heavy foundations. Essentially it’s purpose is to make you look ten years younger and heavily airbrushed. Once... Read more
… You know us Catholics are infamous for never showing up to mass on time. This is a gentle reminder to turn back your clocks this evening unless you want to arrive at mass insanely early and be forced to bide your time be praying the rosary or something. Image Source. Read more
… I wanted to share with you ladies a new online magazine – that’s free! – created to encourage Catholic women; Dignitas Magazine. “A stroll through the mall or a glance at the magazines in the check-out line will give you a clear idea of what our culture promotes as the ideal image of womanhood. The plunging necklines and disappearing hemlines of clothing in store windows tell you that to be a woman you must expose yourself to the world.... Read more
… One of the saddest things I ever heard was at a funeral. Well, yes. Funerals are, by their nature, sad affairs. They are even sadder if the departed or their family aren’t Catholic. They lack that whole “praying for the dead” element. At my grandmother’s funeral her best friend of sixty years was overheard saying, “We can finally stop praying for her now. She’s in a better place with Jesus and angels and fluffy clouds and kittens and everyone... Read more
… Scaring the Jack Chick out of evangelicals. Now go to mass. Seriously. Go to mass. Related Link: Fr. Robert Barron on All Saint’s Day. Read more
… What has happened to my beloved Halloween?! Who are these entitled beggars shuffling up to the door? Kids don’t even try anymore. And young ladies, there are plenty of things you can be for Halloween besides naked. Your amateurism has forced me to lay down some guidelines for next year. 1- putting random shit on your head does not a costume make. If you are wearing street clothes and a mask you will not get a single piece of... Read more
… Do you ever sometimes wonder if you’d make a good nun because you look great in black, or because you’re really tired of having to style your hair every day. Read more
… Children. Those greedy little one percent-ers. Speaking of redistributing candy wealth; my son is having none of that. Did you know you’re never too old for candy. Or Halloween. Or just being obnoxious. A huge part of why I took to Catholicism like a fish to water was that Papists love to party. We have a feast almost daily, and if you’re bi-ritual or pre-Vatican II you’ll have multiple calendars to induce ecclesiastical schizophrenia. Catholics also have an amazing... Read more
… I don’t like to talk about my day job, the one that pays the bills, because it’s not prudent and things like that can come back and bite you. So let me be as vague as possible and hopefully you can follow along. Today there was a shooting, a domestic dispute that escalated into a double homicide. Leaving out the details about the event itself, I want to note that none of the neighbors present when the shooting happened... Read more
