It will be interesting to see what my nephew will have to say about his experiences when he gets back from his trip to Israel. He’s a history student currently, but I don’t know if he’s a student OF history; doubt if he’s made the connection that my online acquaintance Mad Priest did. BBC News – Deaths as Israeli forces storm Gaza aid ship More than 10 people have been killed after Israeli commandos stormed a convoy of ships carrying aid to the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army says. Armed forces boarded the largest vessel overnight, clashing with some of…

Candidate Tim D’Annunzio, running for Congress in NC, is so far gone in religious mania that the local GOP is circulating docs from his divorce to show how much crazy he brings. His prayers were not answered, he’s in a runoff, we’ll need more popcorn. Christ’s War: A Simple Choice. Most of his blogposts consist of lengthy Bible quotes, but his beliefs tend toward the “watched too much Stargate while obsessively highlighting texts in the KJV” end of the spectrum. His political statements are quite possibly the most seriously disturbing views I’ve ever seen made public by a viable candidate.…

It’s harder than I thought to donate my recently-shorn hair to the charity that turns hair and pet fur clippings into oil-spill booms. They require that you sign up first, then wait to be sent an address for shipping. And they really discourage individuals from donating; they prefer bulk shipments from salons and groomers. Meanwhile their storage facilities are getting backed up near the Gulf, as BP didn’t want to accept the donated booms. The hell? So maybe they’ll send straight to the Louisiana Wetlands people? Welcome to Matter Of Trust.

Getting some traction on taking the church blog and turning it into the main website for St Nick’s. It’s quite difficult to migrate a domain from Yahoo.com to GoDaddy.com as it is, but the former web admin (who’s moving on to be ordained as a deacon soon) struggled with the Yahoo side. Finally, finally he was able to call us so David could try to walk him through it. Whew. Found a great theme, though: Shadowbox.

While my husband David was out of town, I had a chance to get caught up on a few shows that were spooled up in TiVo, ready to watch. One of these was HBO’s Treme, and I had the chance to watch the first three episodes all at once. When I came up for air, I felt like I’d been dunked in the floodwaters and come up a new person. Treme is densely layered, and cultural associations are thrown out offhandedly in practially every line, every scene. What did the comments about the different kinds of music mean? What was…
