*Yeah, I know. This is a Garth Brooks song. Somebody at work found out I don’t listen to country, so they made me a mix CD. I like…some of it.

Is anyone else hungry? I think I’m gonna go make some bananas Foster. You go and make some, too, and then come back and eat it while reading this:

*Inspired by a recent Vlogbrothers video.

**Inspired by my car. Which is going to take $300 to fix. Seriously? I don’t even need the window to go up and down, I just need it to stay up and not scream at me on the highway. Such is life.

The other day I got a fortune in a cookie that said “You will receive good news of a long-awaited event.” The same day, I checked to see if the bekindrewrite.com domain was available (I only had the .net), not really expecting that it would be, but it was!  Woohoo! So you may have noticed the dotcom-liness going on in the URL field up top your browser window. I don’t know why this pleases me so much, but it does. Just like these pieces:

*Stole this from a friend: it was the title of a flash fiction piece she wrote.

 Okay okay. So the “Martian Tea” reference is a pun on oolong tea and the sound the Martians make in Jeff Wayne’s brilliant musical version of The War of the Worlds – a creepy “oooolaaa!” (technically “ulla”) which of course sounds like “oolong.” The album is a classic in my family, so we call oolong tea “Martian tea.” [Listen to part of the album here. Skip to 5:06 to hear the ulla.]

Two thirds of a nerdy pun, I know.

Only three of you this week. Busy, are we?

But these are well worth the read:

LoveTheBadGuy, who’s also created a new adorable InMonster badge!!!

I finally saw Tron: Legacy (super behind the times, I know. Maybe in the next ten years I’ll see the Avengers). Loved the music and all the techno eye candy. Does anyone else notice interesting theological parallels? Fascinating continuation of the original.

Okay, read some really cool stuff:
