Every day is like All Souls

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

Today is All Souls Day, but let me let you in on a secret: I’m especially happy today because Hubby and I are going to see Morrissey in concert tonight.

I know there are other Morrissey and The Smiths fans out there: what are your favorite songs? Comment away. I’ll chime in if others do.

Scott Wellses of the world unite and take over

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

I’m only musing, amused. I’ve mentioned before I have an extraordinarily common name.

I shouldn’t have been surprised when on Facebook a string of total strangers — each named Scott Wells — wanted to be my friend. Sure - why not? Now I’m one of five members of Scott Wells’ Unite. I don’t approve of […]

The healthy, sustainable diet

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

26 May. This article still attracts a lot of traffic, probably from search engine results. It seems rather topical given the widely reported projected increases in the price of food and petroleum products and the conflict between the human food and ethanol fuel uses for corn. I’ve also updated the PeaceBang link.

The Rev. Victoria Weinstein, […]

St. Morrissey Day

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Today is Morrissey’s birthday!

Morrissey and The Smiths fans, please leave your favorite songs or quotations.

Walking in the home of the brash, outrageous and free

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Londoners and visitors — whether or not they go to Sloane Square — can turn to a new site — walkit.com — for detailed point-to-point walking directions, calorie burnings and CO2 savings. Sometimes walking is faster and more convenient than public transit or even taxis.

The BBC has a 2006 story on it, too.

There’s less […]

Sorry hun, them’s the breaks

Friday, April 21st, 2006

PeaceBang, I knew it was just a matter of time. Today she wrote (”Why I’m getting more Calvinistic“):

I just don’t think we can’t be trusted with just plain Self-Culture in the manner that Emerson preached it, and toward which Channing and Henry Ware, Jr.’s optimistic Christianity pointed us.

Yeah, that’s what I said a while back, […]

“Celebrating Life” best for bookshelf

Friday, April 7th, 2006

One of the things that baffles me is how there is no UUA or UUMA commended special services (aka pastoral offices) book. Perhaps the seminary custom of compiling one makes it a risky proposition.

In any case, one book has been invaluable with my non-church-going grandmother’s simple memorial and the wedding for the coolest couple in […]

Moz’s new album fabu

Tuesday, April 4th, 2006

Hubby got Morrissey’s new album (released today, er yesterday, April 4) and is true to Il Depresso’s form. A bit less pop-y, though. I love it, love it, love it.

I even love the title.

A real epic cycle, please

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

This is my one and only posting about the new Star Wars film.

A bunch of people whose blogs I read have shared a “I won’t spoil the movie, but . . . .” convention, to which I reply: Try and spoil it, but I think Lukas beat you to it. In any case, I’m not […]

Pastor’s little helper?

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

PeaceBang is not unreasonably sour about iPods (”Mother’s Little Helper“) after reading an unthink-piece by and about plugged-in soccer moms in Newsweek. PB paints the iPod as audio Valium, and perhaps that’s fitting in their case.

My experience is that is more like audio cannabis, if the 60s hype of “enhancing experience” is even half true. […]
