Not a Movie About Africa

At dinner.

Sr. Rosann: Did you see No Country for Old Men?
Me: No, but I wanted to. It's supposed to be incredibly good, but dark.
Another Sister: It has black people in it?

Chris Lund said...: I just noticed the quote on your side bar is from Fulton Sheen. Just wondering, have you ever caught his TV show on EWTN at like 4am on Wednesdays? Pretty brilliant. Especially at 4am. Much better than infomercials.

I suppose 1960's catholic broadcasts about American morality aren't exactly prime time material... shame really.; 4/6/08, 2:16 AM

About (Long Version)

I'm in the throes of Ph.D. studies, an experience I'm loving and for which I'm deeply grateful. The downside is that other things I care about get pushed aside. This is my attempt to create space for those things, which include: education, photography, geeky things, amateur enthusiasm about science, shenanigans, adventures, occasional navel gazing, un-ironic enthusiasm about just about everything, and non-academic writing about all those.

Forced once in a bar to answer the question, "No, but really, on a scale of 1 to 10, how Catholic are you?", I said 10. If you're wondering what that even means, so am I. Anyway, that Catholicy stuff's everywhere.

This is a non-anonymous, search-engine-anti-optimized blog. It's not secret or private, so share away! I use first names, initials, or pseudonyms for myself, family and friends, and my institutions so this blog doesn't come up in searches about those people and things.
