Randomisity
-I hope gluttony is one of those sins that aren't really a sin (do those really exist?), because the last couple of nights I have been guilty of this one.
-My music tastes have been feeling retro recently, circa early 90's to be exact. REM, Counting Crows, and the B-52s have all released new discs recently, and they're all pretty good. REM had a trifecta of greatness (Green, Out of Time, and Automatic for the People) in the late 80's/early 90s, but its been downhill from there. Their new one, Accelerate, rescues them from the soft-rock purgatory they've been lost in recently. Counting Crows get the All-Time Favorite 1st Lyric From The 1st Song From The 1st Disc Award. Their new one, Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings is their first in several years. And the B-52s, with Funplex, sound pretty much exactly the same as they did when they were singing about the love shack. The retro mood continues, but in a much softer vein, as I've discovered the acoustic sessions by Jackson Browne. Beautiful bedtime music.
- There is a more literate post somewhere in my mind about my annoyance with the "Religious Right". I don't know the history or origins of the movement, and maybe it started in a better place than where I see it now, but once they gained enough influence and power, they, like most people who gain influence and power, became only interested in more power. I'm all about voting my conscience, but I can't find anywhere in the Bible where it is commanded/commissioned/suggested that we organize as a political movement. Imagine if the time and money and effort that we (a collective generic religious right we) spend politicizing were spent doing the things that, I don't know, Christ commissioned us to do. Loving one another more than ourselves. Acts of service. The Great Commission. We might not have to worry so much about the direction of the country. And, when the average non-churchgoing American's idea of a what a Christian is includes some visage of Pat Robertson or James Dobson, that's both maddening and sad.
-On the opposite end of the spectrum, how much do I love Tina Fey? About as much as Liz Lemon loves the Teamster Sandwich.
