Everything I learned about the internet…

May 30, 2008

…I learned from Dale. Well, not really. In fact, I stole this idea from my Facebook friend Steve Lawson. In a way, most of the things I learn about the internet I learn from my internet addicted friends (no offense Mr Lawson.) At any rate, this is a fun watch….something to jump start your weekend.

Do Mrs Metaphor a Favor…

Have I mentioned my vastly talented sister and her rockin’ band to you people before? Well, I’m mentioning them to you today.  They are most awesome.   The Locals They have a shot at Lollapalooza this year…a long shot because they entered late but take a listen to their stuff on the site and then, […]

Come to the darkside, we have cookies…

I admit it.  I’ve become addicted to Twilight.  The book series written by Stephanie Meyer centers around an “ordinary” 17 year old girl who falls for a brooding hunky vampire.  At first blush it may seem a plot for a paperback romance but I think what sets this apart is that Stephanie Meyer is a […]

Blink and Brown Mushrooms…

I’ve been reading “Blink” recently.  The subtitle being, “The Power of Thinking without Thinking.” It’s a bit hard to explain except to say that one “take away” I have is that often when we experience something new and have a negative reaction that it’s not so much that we don’t LIKE it, but rather that it […]

For no reason whatsoever I wanted to put this vid up today.  I love that Shawn Colvin…a whole, whole lot.  These lyrics have been in my head a lot lately so I thought I’d put this up.  It’s one of my favorite Shawn Colvin tunes and of course Chris Botti, is an amazing musician as […]

The Nun Bun

I’m having coffee with a friend tomorrow at BongoJava.  It’s in a neighborhood where I hope to live one day, East Nashville, very funky and artsy.   BongoJava has the distinction of having discovered the “Nun Bun” which is a cinnamon roll bearing a striking resemblance to Mother Teresa.  Now, since someone googled me with […]

Mother Teresa Tattoos

Someone googled “Mother Teresa Tattoos” and found me. I have nothing to offer on this front.  I have nothing pithy to add. I just wanted to put that visual in your heads today.  Mull it over.

Radical thought: Do Something Productive

I have walked by the same pile of laundry every day for a week.  It is clean, folded and ready to go to it’s home in the kids’ drawers upstairs.  One flight of stairs.  One pile of clean laundry.  One week. Every time I walk by the pile of laundry I look at it, make […]

I’m still high on my Scott Cairns encounter a couple of weeks ago. The “poem” below comes from his book, “Love’s Immensity” in which he translates and adapts the works of early church Christian mystics. I love this stuff…take this one slow and let it slide over you a few times before deciding what you […]

the shore demo

For those of you who asked to hear the music to The Shore here ’tis. Please bear in mind the fact that I recorded it into my laptop without fancy equipment…seriously….and in fact, the whirring sound you hear in the background at some point is my computer’s hard drive. Nice touch, huh? I will also […]
