Breathtaking
We watched “Man on Wire” last night. It was beautiful. My heart was pounding through most of it.

Note to All Mice
Dear Mice,
Do not come into the cupboard below our kitchen sink. We don’t want you in there. I know we put catfood down there, but we thought we had sealed it and wrapped it up well. You may have thought you were welcome to sneak through that little hole where the pipe comes through whenever you wanted, but you’re not. You’re most definitely not welcome anywhere near our apartment. You’re gross.
If you come into our cupboard you will die. You will die just as four mice died this weekend. We killed them and we won’t hesitate to kill you.
Seriously,
Mouse Killer
p.s. With the new movie about a cute and brave little mouse named Despereaux coming out, you may be inspired to be brave yourself and come into the cupboard. Just try it, Despereaux.

“An Honest God is the Noblest Work of Man”
EACH nation has created a god, and the god has always resembled his creators. He hated and loved what they hated and loved, and he was invariably found on the side of those in power. Each god was intensely patriotic, and detested all nations but his own. All these gods demanded praise, flattery, and worship. Most of them were pleased with, sacrifice, and the smell of innocent blood has ever been considered a divine perfume. All these gods have insisted upon having a vast number of priests, and the priests have always insisted upon being supported by the people, and the principal business of these priests has been to boast about their god, and to insist that he could easily vanquish all the other gods put together.
Robert Ingersoll, “The Gods, and other lectures” (1879)

Studio 360: Redesigning Xmas. Pentagram redesigns Christmas. Pretty cool.
I don’t agree that xmas is divisive or ugly, but I do agree that it’s too commercial and that it’s stuck with quaint imagery of the past. But most people like that quaint imagery — xmas trees, wreaths, stockings, etc. And can the commercialism of xmas be seen as a monster fed on people’s generosity to each other? And I don’t get how their idea of a x.mas sponsor jives with the commercialism problem, even if the proceeds go to charity.
Fun stuff anyway. Happy :).mas.
