David and I went shopping at Woodfield yesterday for jeans and what-not, and stopped at Stir Crazy, the eclectic Asian bistro, for lunch. I noticed that they're still using the wacky Chinglish chopsticks; the paper cover says something about the "glonus Chinese culture cuisine." That would be "glorious," y'all.

From daily episcopalian: Aint Misbehavin Came across this ditty on the House of Bishops and Deputies list (of all places) today. It is a lyric by Garrison Keillor. Sung to the tune of Ain't Misbehavin'. I'm slow to anger, don't covet or lust. No sins of pride except sometimes I really must. Episcopalian, saving my love for you. The theology's easy, the liturgy too. Just stand up and kneel down and say what the others do. Episcopalian, saving my love for you. I bless myself with a flick of the wrist. You'd never know I was raised fundamentalist. Episcopalian, saving…

NPR : Ellison to Use Thomas Jeffersons Quran in Ceremony Newly elected Rep. Keith Ellison announced last month that he planned to take the oath of office with his hand on the Quran. The decision by the Minnesota Democrat, the first Muslim elected to Congress, drew criticism. But now Ellison says he plans to use a copy of the Quran once owned by Thomas Jefferson. Michele Norris talks with Mark Dimunation, chief of the Rare Book and Special Collections Division of the Library of Congress, who helped Ellison locate Jeffersons Quran. You know what? This is all right. All right.…

NPR : Harrison Ford Returns As Indiana Jones Another graying action star is reviving an old role. Harrison Ford will once again crack the whip, 18 years after Indiana Jones' last adventure. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are also back, directing and producing. Excited fans do wonder if, at 64, Indy can still do the stunts. I'm wondering, too. I'll never forget the time I saw the first Indiana Jones movie, which was around New Years when I was still in college. I've been a fan of Harrison Ford's since American Graffiti and Star Wars (okay, yes, I've had the…

NPR : Robertson Predicts Mass Killing in the Coming Year We don't need any more of his kooky predictions, they just irritate the unchurched and rile up the unscienced.

Wondermark by David Malki – 261: In which James Brown is … well, you know I listened to an NPR retrospective on James Brown the other day. I didn't know his songs were always in the same key. I hadn't realized how repetitive they were until I listened to several full length songs during the course of the show. And now I know that he's an artist best heard sampled on other people's tracks, because the funk should never be boring. There. I said it.
