That Might Not Be True

So, that other blog I'm slappin' together seems to be going well. Feel free to follow on twitter: MightNotBeTrue or on Facebook Pages: HERE.

I'd love to see you!

so that's interesting

"Stories and symbology that survive in the persona of Saint Brigid may be related. St. Brigid was associated with perpetual, sacred flames, such as the one maintained by 19 nuns at her sanctuary in Kildare, Ireland. The sacred flame at Kildare was said by Giraldus Cambrensis and other chroniclers to have been surrounded by a hedge, which no man could cross. Men who attempted to cross the hedge were said to have been cursed to go insane, die, and/or to have had their penis ("lower leg") wither."

5 Things...

I haven't written down anything for my '5 Things' list. So, here's this day's '5 Things I Love':

1. holidays with my family home, all watching a movie snuggled together on the couch.
2. mornings to myself. making coffee. catching up on the news, random tv shows, and just watching the light move in my apartment.
3. box set dvd television seasons. [almost done with gilmore girls]
4. improvising. and laughing.
5. the convenience of a car.

One Month In Between Time

It's the 19th. One month's in between time was quite a lot of time. The holidays happened. My other blog: http://www.thingsthatmayormaynotbetrue.com took off. My job has remained unsteady and unreliable. I am in turn becoming unsteady and unreliable. The play I'm in, "Trifles," opens next week. Second term of iO is underway and things with that are wonderful. And I haven't left the state in what feels like forever.

On the up side, month one of this decade not even over, and I've finished two books:

Nick Hornby's "Juliette, Naked" and Steve Martin's "Born Standing Up."

Received David Sedaris' "Christmas on Ice" and Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" for Christmas, and have three more books on the ready:

David Rensin's "The Mailroom," Tom Shales & James Andrew Miller's "Live from New York," and a photobook, "Laugh," with pictures taken by William Claxton. There are things to read in that last one, but it's mainly short stories from the people within the photos.

Things that May or May Not Be True

Check out my other blog that's open to the public: http://thingsthatmayormaynotbetrue.blogspot.com

Trying to update it as much as I can, provided I find sayings and other things that may or may not be true. It's much easier to be cynical about said things, however, so I am now making a concerted effort to think of things that are true. It's a little sad that I find it easier to turn things into falsities — everything's a matter of opinion anyway!

So, there ya have it. Follow it. KTHXBYE.
