Cats may have 9 lives but Dinner has 19. Watch as Dinner stares in the face of the evil Overlord. His battle scars are displayed as the Overlord laughs and mocks. He can not be bothered by taunts. He can not be bested. He is Dinner.

Today at the Cathedral of St. Peter the Apostle, in Jackson, I got to see a relic of Saint Mary Magdalene. Her tibia.

Check out her tour bus!

The Feast Day of My Favorite Saint

2009-09-22T16:43:00.002-05:00

September 23 is the feast day of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina. Years ago, I bought this book by Ruffin and have reread it a couple times. Padre Pio is a wonderful man.

"Grant me chastity and continence, but not yet"

2009-08-28T00:00:00.000-05:00

Today is the feast day of St. Augustine of Hippo (354 - 430). Augustine is one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. Augustine struggled with lust throughout his life. He associated sexual desire with the sin of Adam, and believed that it was still sinful, even though the Fall has made it part of human nature.

In the Confessions, Augustine describes his personal struggle in vivid terms: "But I, wretched, most wretched, in the very commencement of my early youth, had begged chastity of Thee, and said, 'Grant me chastity and continence, only not yet.'"

Hawk kills chickens, hawk kills rabbits, but the hawk won’t kill Tusan Homichi!

An epic story of a small field mouse. Second song on the new Indukti album, Idmen. Nils Frykdahl, of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, provides vocals.

Let's sing it together! Shall we?

on top of the rock there lived a hawk the great enemy of the people day after day he killed more and more chickens and in a little while there would be no more chickens at all… people were troubled they smoked and talked and prayed they knew what had to be done the hawk had to be killed everyone knew that and the men and the women and the children all knew it but no one knew how but a little field mouse Tusan Homichi had heard about all the trouble that people were having and he felt sorry for them so he decided to kill the hawk so he came to the village chanting hawk kills chickens hawk kills rabbits but the hawk won’t kill Tusan Homichi! Monster hawk will surely die! some of the people laughed they said that dirty little mouse was crazy to even try but others began to wonder if that mouse has some great power that night when everyone went to sleep little mouse stayed up all night long three times he went out and looked at the stars with white clay he painted his cheeks and the right side of his forehead he put the white on his arms, chest and legs he painted the black mark across his eyes he tied shells from the ocean around his right wrist then he sat down, and thought about his songs the next day would be the great day! hawk kills chickens hawk kills rabbits but the hawk won’t kill Tusan Homichi monster hawk will surely die

Ok, come on, that was really good!

I've just always skipped over this one and moved on to Closedown. Not anymore!

Ok, admittedly, I am a HUGE Cure fan. HUGE. My favorite album is Disintegration (duh!) but I've never really been partial to Pictures of You. It just never hit me until today. Thanks for the heads up, Bethany! These kids are incredible.

Happy Saint Max Day!

2009-08-14T07:56:00.000-05:00

Today is the feast of St Maximilian Kolbe, one of my favorite Saints.

During the Second World War he provided shelter to refugees from Greater Poland, including 2,000 Jews whom he hid from Nazi persecution in his friary in Niepokalanów. He was also active as a radio amateur, with Polish call letters SP3RN, vilifying Nazi activities through his reports.
On February 17, 1941 he was arrested by the German Gestapo and imprisoned in the Pawiak prison, and on May 25 was transferred to Auschwitz I as prisoner #16670.
In July 1941 a man from Kolbe's barracks vanished, prompting SS-Hauptsturmführer Karl Fritzsch, the deputy camp commander, to pick 10 men from the same barracks to be starved to death in Block 13 (notorious for torture), in order to deter further escape attempts.[citation needed] (The man who had disappeared was later found drowned in the camp latrine). One of the selected men, Franciszek Gajowniczek, cried out, lamenting his family, and Kolbe volunteered to take his place.
During the time in the cell he led the men in songs and prayer. After three weeks of dehydration and starvation, only Kolbe and three others were still alive. Finally he was murdered with an injection of carbolic acid.

Recent events reminding me of the old days have also got me listening to my old RUSH albums. Nothing quite captures those days like Subdivisions.

One of the best lines: "Hi, and I apologize to you for, you know. I just want to say I'm sorry, and, thank you. Oh, and one more thing, please, help me fly."

We had a little Father's Day craw fish boil in the backyard. I took some video to test my new camera. Seems to work pretty well.
See if you can spot the naked man in the video. Yeah, I thought you could see him pretty easily.

I know, I know, the video quality is horrible. I shot it with my little digital camera. Plus, who wants to endure someone's family movies?! Sheezz, Kreg!
