Whenever I Set Out On The Road, I’m Always Amazed At The Number of Birds Living in the Bushes
Posted in Uncategorized on February 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It’s always cute and funny to see the birds react when someone walks by. Either they take off in a flock, and move to another bush, or they jump down inside the bush, thinking we can’t find them.
Why do people do this to their dogs?
Posted in Uncategorized on February 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This upset me — I’ve never understood why people, when they went out, felt the need to take their dogs with them and leave them in the car. I can understand if one is on a trip, one might take them with. But what trip leads one to a library (where I took this picture)? [...]
No Ashes For Me
Posted in Uncategorized on February 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The Byzantine tradition, having already led us into Lent, does not use ashes, but rather, follows what Jesus said one is to do during fasts: anoints the faster right before the fast begins.
For those beginning Lent: I hope it is a good, spiritual time for you. We can now journey upon it together.

The Great Fast
Posted in Uncategorized on February 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
As the first day of the Great Fast begins, I found myself waking up early, making it clear it is going to be a long first day of the Great Fast. Thankfully, I went to Forgiveness Vespers, and partook of the annointing; hopefully the graces involved will help me make it through the day.
I do [...]
Slumdog Will Probably Win Best Picture Tonight
Posted in Uncategorized on February 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Of the films nominated, it’s clearly the best choice. It’s innovative and unique in its presentation, and, like any classic film, it highlights elements of both the best and the worst in humanity.
This clip, I think, shows the relationship Slumdog has with the Oscars… the film isn’t the one in the hotseat, the Oscars is. If [...]

Brief Snow Shower

The snow came down fast and furious, but only for a short amount of time. We didn’t get much more sticking to the ground than this.

Whatever happened to Solomon Kane?
Posted in Uncategorized on February 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Last I heard, all the principle filming of Solomon Kane was finished, and that was several months ago. I would think by now we would have heard a release date for the film. I now fear, while it had so much potential, it will now be a dud. Still, there could be other explanations; maybe they are [...]
Spielberg and Žižek
Posted in Uncategorized on February 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I started reading Žižek’s book, Enjoy You Sympton! yesterday (where he analyzes the history of film based upon Lacan), and what he said about Spielberg was interesting: all his major films include a biological father having to learn what it means to be a father. I can’t think of an example where this wasn’t the [...]
I Got a New Camera
Posted in Uncategorized on February 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I bought a new digital camera yesterday, and now I have to get adjusted to it. My old one was getting old — it took good pictures, but I had other problems with it (especially with its battery), and so I knew I had to get another one sometime. I got this on sale. Some [...]

The Retro-Network
Posted in Uncategorized on February 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I noticed something new this week: there is another tv station mixed in the digital loop, the Retro Network. It plays classic television shows from the 50s through the 80s, many of which I have always liked. Looking into it, seems as if it has been on since July, replacing a channel which played locally [...]

Back After A Long Break
Posted in Uncategorized on February 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
With all the other blogs I work on, and my general dislike of talking about myself (which I hoped this blog would work to counter-act), Road is now back, but what one finds here will be quite diverse. If something important happens (like I will be giving a paper presentation at the Mid-Atlantic AAR), I [...]
