Theology Collage- Literally

March 12th, 2010

For my current theology class, we were invited to share our “vision of the Church”, in audio or visual if we preferred, rather than writing a paper. I made a little collage which will really only make sense to me. I’m not still not used to being graded. Thanks Bennington.

In Search of Lost Time

February 3rd, 2010

I’ve been feeling pretty chaotic inside lately- both overwhelmed and un-tethered–trying to find strucutre and a rhythm, but just sort of floating, ever more anxiously, into the vacuum of dark outer space. Basically, it’s my usual Jan-March challenge when Intiman goes off season and 35 hours of my week float away into the ether. I [...]

“Facebook, Roadside Attractions and the Atonement” or “Vince on the Cross”

January 19th, 2010

I was allowing myself to be distracted by Facebook one day, following friend’s links haphazardly to see what quizzes they’d scored 83% on or what pictures they took on their vacations. One link trail took me to a photo album of a friend from high school. No doubt it was the photo album [...]

Family Tree

Bridget made this for the little one she’s carrying right now.
It was so beautiful, I had to share it.

Joyous Advent To You and Yours, Kj

The Criterion Caitlin

October 9th, 2009

I don’t follow many non-friend Twitters. However, one of my non-friend Twitterers just twittered about my friend and basically blew my mind apart with awesomeness.
I follow The Criterion Collection and get updates on their film releases, etc. Like most non-uber-avant-garde-film-buff people, the only Criterion Collection films I own are by Wes Anderson, but [...]

"If I Read Your Play, Will You Promise To Stop Writing Them?"

September 21st, 2009

This is my third year reviewing submissions for a playwrights’ residency program in NY. Every year I wait excitedly for my packet of plays to arrive in a giant manilla envelope. Then, every year my smile slackens upon reading the first line of the first play, wherein I remember that 4,999 out of every [...]

"We will never know how the mind turns the water of our cells into the wine of consciousness"

August 3rd, 2009

Proust Was a Neuroscientist by Jonah LehrerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was drawn to Jonah Lehrer’s book when I saw a light blue paperback with a madeleine cookie on the cover along with the word “neuroscientist”. Tasty looking indeed. When I opened it up, I saw that an entire chapter was [...]

Marked For Life

July 24th, 2009

Today, Jamelyn and I joined Jenn, “j.fresh”, Frechette as she completed a 21st century rite of passage: getting the tattoo. She’s been wanting this tattoo for 7 and a half years. I’ve been wanting a tattoo for at least four years, though technically, probably since I turned double digits. Note to self: best way [...]

I Never Really Blog About Theatre…

June 11th, 2009

…mostly because it’s such a small world and one negative comment can easily make it back to the person you’re talking about, and I’m not really into that. I’ve had to spend years working on my ability to speak respectfully of shows I hate, whether its because I’m giving an usher speech, or because [...]
