Friday Morning Procastination

Though a real thorough update is due (with pictures and funny captions! Guffaw!) i actually need to do some work today and will scratch my blogging itch before i get to them, but, if you got some time to burn:

I've been reading a series of Articles from David Plotz about Blogging the Bible, a self-admitted ignorant Jew who wants to simply read the text of the Torah and write his impressions, without much help from commentary or scholars. Granted, i personally believe this is actually one of the worst ways to read scriptures, that is, with simply your own input to the interpretation of the text; but it makes for a good read when someone else does it.

What else... oh, A Prairie Home Companion comes out today, and truthfully it actually looks to be good. I think i'll wait to see it with my NPR loving sweetie who also grew up on the show from Lake Woebegone, but to be honest my largest impression of the whole thing is smug amusement that i can actually say that i am looking forward to seeing it -- after being tortured by NPR through most of my adolesence by my father. Driving anywhere, Dad only listened to NPR on the radio, and besides the sometimes weekend relief of car talk, i wanted to throw myself from the moving vehicle and hopefully land in a thrush of steak knives. How funny that it is now the only real station i listen to myself, and am a pledging member of Wyoming Public Radio.

This weekend should be a good time of final painting and details before miss liz with Laura the folksinger get here early next week with a trailer of possesions. It's been hot but great, and if anyone wants to come out and climb on some rocks, give me a holler.
