"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

amalgamation can be cool too, though. Think of all the fun fusiony cuisines.

I just finished a paper, instead of going to a 4:30 class. The prompt was so high school that I almost lost it:

Write from the point of view of a Buddhist, Jew, Nestorian , Manichean or Muslim. Explain briefly your key beliefs, distinguish yourself from others, your attitude toward evangelization, your purpose on the Silk road and the status of your religion at the time you choose to place yourself.

I wonder if I should also include a diorama, or you know a poster or something. How old am I again?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tell her, not me. Of course, the more Indian the food, the more her stomach got upset. Cause? Effect? We may never know.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Authentic" evolves. Italian food has tomatoes, Indian food is hot.

Maybe we should order historically as well as nationally, "can I have that pre-columbian?" or "anything pre-colonial on the menu?"

Dawn, poor you! Actually I'm kidding about the Diorama. But the assignment feels like something I'd ask my middle school kids to do. "Imagine you're a jew in Venice in the 15th century. Make up a journal for your daily life!"

My random Batman fact is #1 right now!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I wonder if I should also include a diorama, or you know a poster or something. How old am I again?

Ha! You and Maidengurl!

Wow. "Nestorian". I haven't heard that term in so long I've forgotten what it is. Well, wikipedia to the rescue, I'm sure.

For you Lulu Eightball fans, Tshirts and hoodies available soon.

Nestorians were sect of christians that ended up getting expelled and labelled as heretical for not believing in the dual humanity/divinity at the same time of Jesus.

Seems like splitting hairs now, but was a big deal then.

I'm two days into a Week of Living Dangerously, and it's making me laugh. How lucky is he that his blind date is such a good sport? I mean, you want all your blind dates to be way cool, but how often does it happen?

Dawn, poor you!

Eh so far it hasn't been bad. Of course we're not to the roof yet. That should be interesting, since everything has to be made out of recycleable material (I think we're looking at cardboard painted terra cotta).
