It's fun to freak people out by pointing out pollen on your car and saying, "AHHHH damn trees having sex on my car!"
this is really gross. you have been warned.
There is a tree near my house, that has probably been there for years, just doing its tree thing, watching patiently as families come and go, empires rise and fall, and Isengard is flooded. I'm sure it's a beautiful tree, cheerfully trading carbon dioxide for oxygen, providing shade, and most li...
You should force your cat to listen to Nyan Nyan for a couple hours.
tamed by the purr of a jaguar
Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post. I had no idea so many new readers were visiting my blog; I'd just assumed that the Internet had gotten bored with me, moved on to whatever the new hotness is, and I was writing for the few, the proud, the geeky who had been here forever. Knowi...
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and not pick what I think I'd have the most fun driving as a zombie point car (an Impreza WRX - who wants to have to fix a blown head gasket in a Subaru when brain-eaters are clawing after you?)...and go with a mid-to-late 90s Civic hatchback. Parts are almost infinite, excellent fuel economy, and if you can get a buddy to ride in the back, plenty of shooting vantage.
Zombie Truck of the Week: The Point Vehicle
When running in a multiple vehicle caravan, you have several different types of vehicles needed. A couple of self sufficient larger trucks. An armored school bus for carrying people. An RV can serve as the mobile command center. You might want to lash a few motorcycles to the back of the bus f...
That .gif is seriously missing a subtitle: DEAL WITH IT.
of books and beards
Sales of The Day After and Other Stories have blown my expectations away, and the feedback I've received has been overwhelmingly positive. I'm relieved and happy that so many readers are enjoying it, and if you're one of them, I thought you should know that you've given me +5 to my saves vs. Par...
Dude, that's cool stuff.
The Sociology of the Apocalypse and American literature
My undergraduate work was in sociology, specifically surrounding unique American social myths (I had a think for cowboys and the stories of the west). I still think it would be fun to do further education in that field, and my interest in sociology is integral to the way that I think theologica...
Hmm...I think I'm gonna have to make my own post on this too.
Top twenty albums ever
This almost made it to the tumblr-but due to the lack of posting I decided that it was worthy of "the main" site. I am tempted to amend it, but I am sticking to the list I made last night. In no particular order; 1. Dark Side of the Moon-Pink Floyd. I think this has been my favorite record si...
If it's a message that people need to hear...then you might consider changing the title :-).
Scrambling for a word
Got called tonight that I "might" have to preach. "Might" means probably after I heard my pastors schedule tomorrow morning at the airport. After scrambling to decided a topic, I played sermon roulette by deciding I will either preach from the lectionary or something from 1 Peter that I had res...
