Bicycling: Breaking Wind for Community

posted by Kara               filed under Amusings, Perspectivity

First, it should be said that I go for pictures first when I look at a book, so it only makes sense that I looked for a pic for this post prior to writing it. Second, it should be said, in full disclosure, that of those "cyclist" pics, some were of nude yet body-painted folks. This seems so awfully wrong. Third, also ...more»

I Can’t Get No Satisfaction

As I sit in this cafe working and typing away, I am at once a spiritual dichotomy. Go figure. I'm happily writing away, hammering out words without distraction. Currently, Muse's "Starlight" (the anthem accompanying that "Crazy Stupid Love" trailer--can't wait!) is playing overhead: Our hopes and expectations Black holes and revelations Our hopes and expectations Black holes and revelations Yes, in general, happy. Until those ...more»

A lifetime ago, I was an actor. I've got a very expensive piece of paper that tells me so whenever I forget. But there are glimpses of that old life in my day-to-day. I am a celebrity blogger after all, which gives me a very good excuse to keep up with the best and the brightest in the showbiz business,who's ...more»

One of My Best. Moments. Ever.

Out of my eight years of teaching, this is my favorite photograph of my (former) students. While I'm fully aware of which students are standing before George Seurat's Grande Jatte (a print of the famous pointillism painting and two other modern takes used to hang in my classroom as lessons in Greek and Latin roots--Word NERD much?), I like to ...more»

Funny Thing about Christians

posted by Kara               filed under Amusings, Perspectivity

Recently, some Nashville musician folk (Jars of Clay, Mercy Me, Thousand Foot Crutch, Matt Maher, etc.) posted a video to YouTube covering The Beatles' "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," live I might add. The hubs has worked with some of these folks before, and we've been lucky enough to call some of them and their families friends. They're good peeps--trust--talented musicians, and clearly, ...more»

‘Bossypants’ Tina Fey Hits the Publishing World April 5

Mar

posted by Kara               filed under Amusings, Odes

Look who has a new memoir-like-ish book Bossypants coming out on April 5. It's the mother of the daughter Alice who coined, "I want to go to there." That's right. Tina Fey, the crush of Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson,  is letting the laymen in on the inner-workings of her comedic/twisted/genius mind, and I for one, am ready to say, "Yes, ...more»

Things I Actually Learned from Watching ‘The View’–I KNOW!

posted by Kara               filed under Amusings, Perspectivity

Behar and Armisen on SNL So I got sucked into "The View" this morning, not for the stories, but by the shockingly accurate Joy Behar impersonation Fred Armisen gives on "Saturday Night Live." How you say, DEAD ON? I mean, SERIOUSLY. Truth be told, I'm not such a fan of Behar; she just seems so angry, and defensive, and harsh--but hey, ...more»
