Watching Sherlock; so far I’m a bit disappointed. Stephen Moffatt has basically written a character that is the Doctor sans TARDIS and screwdriver.

Icrontic:
“Bliss” is supposed to be seafoam green and comes with a rubberized back, allowing for a better grip on the phone. It’s apparently a mating of the HTC Desires S and Z, without a keyboard. The green color is supposed to be “calming.” and the phone also comes with a soothing wallpaper to go along with it. “Bliss” will come tailored with shopping and calorie...
Doctor Blogging
Oh totally disagree! I think it’s brilliant! For the first time, i’m awware that we may not be following the Doctor’s story in “strict linear progression” and that we never exactly know who’s perspective we’re seeing this from, only that it’s clearly not his. I love that we experience the Silents like the characters do, and only after the fact get...

Weathering the Storm - A Call to Worship: 1/30/11...
God, sometimes it’s difficult to come with a thankful heart. Sometimes it’s hard to see past the stress and the worry and the aches and the pains to the blessings. When all we can muster is, “Here I am,” open us to more.
Sometimes the road is icy and treacherous -
How else would we learn caution?
Sometimes the flakes fly thick and fast -
What else would dampen...

oatmeal:
If you’re going to go down, you might as well blame it on an imaginary animal like Twitter did with their infamous Fail Whale. I’ve taken the liberty of creating this animal for you:
Please use it.
Please oh please.

Just sayin'.
Apparently, according to AFA’s Bryan Fischer, the repeal of DADT would result in a military full of “sexual perverts, sexual deviants, or people who support sexual perversion or sexual deviancy.”
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say it would be inaccurate to assume that homos are the only ones having dirty, nasty, pervy, kinky sex. In fact, I’m willing to bet...
The imam is reading the names of Muslims who died in the towers, and offering a prayer of peace. It’s really beautiful.

Reading about all the people who are just now getting their copies of Coming and Crying makes me appreciate even more that a) I live in the same city as Melissa, b) I’m occasionally on the same train as Melissa, and c) that sometimes in a city of millions, you still run into people who’s books you’re in, and they play book fairy for you.

Reading—for avid readers, at least—necessitates an active role not addressed by the passive noun “audience.” The act of reading is different from the act of watching. (So-called) “real” readers inhabit a book and live within it during the reading process.
The publishing…

Pilgrimage - A Call to Worship: 8/22/10 @Middle...
God, we come to You this morning as peregrinos y peregrinas en el camino, travelers on a road that has not always been soft ground and gently sloping hills. In a time when some lives overflow with blessings and others are perhaps just getting by, we come before you as a congregation to offer up our lives, messy and beautiful and incomplete. We come and lift not only our own hearts, but the hearts...

Grief in a Public Place
Recently, I’ve been thinking about the debate going on two blocks away from Ground Zero. To be honest, I’ve been trying NOT to think about it, but as it continues to escalate, it gets harder to ignore.
Now I could make some grand statement about first amendment rights, national tragedy, Islamaphobia, but what I really want to say is much simpler. We need to let people mourn. It’s been nine years...

Go Take a Hike 2010: A big day 1 →
We left Brooklyn at 2 this morning and caught the bus down to charlorttesville. It was a long morning but we were on the trail by 4pm. It was a short 5 mile hike and then we set up camp Dr a while. There’s lots of people hiking so we have been having a good fine chatting and such.
Before we got…
