Paging Dr. Jung
Last night I dreamed that Phil and I accidentally crashed into a snowdrift in the middle of the night, but got the car started again and drove slowly through this quaint little village where the townspeople were having some sort of celebration, dancing and singing outside near the road. There were people everywhere along the [...]

More on synchronicity
John of Salem’s Lots fame suggested in the comments a few days ago that my Eudora Welty experience was an example of synchronicity, which I had been erroneously referring to as “collective consciousness,” which is related but not quite the same.
And a few days ago I realized that last week I had experienced some [...]

Dorkitude by numbers
1. I am totally crushing on Dictionary.com’s redesign.
2. I am kind of excited about the upcoming housing bubble bust, because it will mean I can buy a house for pretty cheap.
3. I laugh anytime I see the word “asploded” because it’s just too funny. Thanks, Fark.
4. This photo makes me laugh and [...]

Phil needs a blog
Well, an active one, at least. Because he called me up at work to tell me to find something about the woman with the pickle phobia and post it for my mini-audience. He was positively giddy about the spectacle of freakishness he’d witnessed on daytime TV, and that kind of enthusiasm would translate into a [...]

Today marks the true anniversary of when I started blogging, though my Blogger archives only go back to November 2003. You have to use the Wayback Machine to get to my entries before I started using Blogger, when I just manually posted to my website, theology-and-geometry.com (which, as of this writing, is still not a [...]

Things I saw on TV recently
• Yesterday in my mom’s hospital room, we watched a FOX News special on higher education costs. The venerable Newt Gingrich (who my dad said would be the next president if he decided to run) was hosting the special. It seems that college costs have increased something like 500 percent in the past 50 years, [...]

Good news, everyones
My mom had a heart catheterization last night and there was no blockage, which is a major, major relief. For once the hospital staff was running ahead of schedule, which is great and all, but it meant that they took her back for the procedure three hours early, before my dad had even gotten back [...]

Two things
Both pertain to the folks in that photograph.
1. My brother (that’s him on the right, about 17 years ago) has his 19th birthday today. Naturally, he is celebrating by working hard. That kid works all the time, and hard. He said today they’ve got him cleaning out grain silos or something. That’s no fun [...]

It’s true!
A whole dialect has emerged to protect men from jokes, suspicious stares and questions about their manhood.
There’s murse, instead of nurse. Mandals, not sandals. Guyliner, not eyeliner (see the glossary for further explanation). And ever since Britney Spears hired a male nanny, tabloids, TV shows, and even the Washington Post have been abuzz [...]

Judge this book by its cover
Frederick S. Lane was on The Daily Show last night hawking his book The Decency Wars.
I haven’t read the book, and probably won’t until it’s out in paperback, so I can’t comment on its content. But I would like to poll the audience. Based on what the book is ostensibly about, what do you [...]
