  • From The Lips of Babies

    "Sy, climb up because this may be your last chance." "Huh? Why is it his last chance?" The little girl that who had just apparated didn’t seem at all concerned with asking me a question on a topic that didn’t concern her but I felt I should explain anyway. "The thing is that this place…

  • Doomed to Cancellation?

    Recently one of my favorite shows, Jericho, was pulled back from the brink of the cancellation abyss. It was one of those shows with a small loyal following, which gets canceled then comes back harder, better, faster and stronger. Unfortunately it didn’t get to that point until two episodes before its demise and thus ended…

  • Her Celestial Stairway

    You know, at times, there’s this feeling I wind up getting and it usually happens when I look towards the Western horizon that makes my spirit cry for leaving. “Leaving what” you say? Ah but in my thoughts that’s where I’ve seen like billows (or is it rings?) of smoke through a forest and these…

  • How Does Diarrhea (or Constipation) Happen?

    “Pull over dad: I think we’ve probably reached one of the nastiest post ever!” I know what you’re thinking: Rey’s gone nuts. There’s just some things you don’t talk about, either in the private intimacy of ear friends or in the public arena of the web: especially when you’re using your real name. But no…

  • Thomas’ Lonely Week: Eighth Day

    Sunday. The Eighth Day. The door opens and Thomas enters in, the small hot room is filled with men. The meal is being set out on the table. John is wearing a towel, finishing washing Matthew’s feet. Matthew is weeping but there’s no sadness in the tears. "Look who’s here!" Andrew shouting. Thomas waves as…
