The Mariner’s Revenge Song

Last updated on: January 2, 2015 at 12:13 pm By Calah Alexander

There’s music, and then there’s MUSIC. This is so much the latter that my head is still exploding. This band is so much awesome, with the lyrics and the sound effects and the freakin’ ACCORDION! This is enough to make me happy for at least three weeks. I totally believe whoever said that music is as effective as antidepressants. Read more

Sad Blogger Diary

Last updated on: June 9, 2015 at 10:34 am By Calah Alexander

Well my Easter was…hmmm. I was going to tell you about it words, but I decided to do it in GiFs instead cause GIFs make everything better. We had a student over. We like having students over for holidays cause a lot of them don’t go home, but it’s always kinda nerve-wracking for me because…well, cause I’m me. Also we have ill-behaved children and an even more ill-behaved dog. Also because it’s been a rough couple of months and I... Read more

My Dog Ate My Laptop Charger

Last updated on: January 2, 2015 at 12:15 pm By Calah Alexander

No really, she did. Let’s just say that my idealistic dog dreams are about as connected with reality as anything idealistic ever is. But then, on the other hand, there’s this, which will actually make you a better person: But only if you apply these lessons you’ve learned herein to your real life. I’m still working that part out. In any case, you’re welcome, because your life is undoubtedly 3000% better now. PS: If you’re a total sci-fi TV... Read more

“We are doomed to be left behind…”

Last updated on: January 2, 2015 at 12:17 pm By Calah Alexander

One of my favorite college professors from UD posted a status update about how her efforts at raising money for Chernobyl poet Lyubov Sirota have fallen far short of her hopes, and how horrible it has made her feel. I confess that I have never heard of Lyubov Sirota until today. I immediately googled her name and found a brief synopsis of her story by Paul Brians at Washington State University, along with some translations of her Chernobyl poetry. She... Read more

Filter After the Fact

Last updated on: January 2, 2015 at 12:29 pm By Calah Alexander

Yesterday morning I took the kids to the dog park for a picnic lunch. Folly was literally bouncing off the walls, the kids were doing their Lord of the Flies thing, and I was overwhelmed and desperate for a bit of quiet and space to sit and write. So I figured I’d let them play with the dog and eat lunch while I sat at the picnic table with my laptop. Perfect plan, right? Yeah. The dog park was closed... Read more

Soap Up!

Last updated on: February 16, 2015 at 12:40 pm By Calah Alexander

Unlike the Skirt Up thing, this has nothing whatsoever to do with modesty. This is all about helping one woman bring traditional, cold process goat milk soap back into the world and onto your skin, thus striking a blow at the twin evils of parabens and phthalates. As a bonus, this will also allow her the means to support her family instead of selling her possessions to make the rent. Robin’s plight is one I’m familiar with. I know what... Read more

Melting Shoulders

Last updated on: February 16, 2015 at 12:41 pm By Calah Alexander

The Ogre’s sister is here visiting for a week. She’s been living in Rome since before Sienna was born, and she finally moved back this past summer. She hasn’t seen us in nearly two years, so it’s been a long-awaited visit, especially for the Ogre. He thinks she’s the best influence ever on me, since I have a dreadful habit of compulsively apologizing, and it irritates her, so she punches me whenever I say “sorry”. But anyway, we went to...

Not falling off the face of the earth again, promise! Just had a bit of a crazy week, and am trying to finish some old posts in snatches of time here and there. But I had to update and tell y’all who came over for dinner last night: Heck ya, that’s priest and fellow Patheosi Fr.Michael Duffy! He was in Florida visiting family and made the drive down to have dinner with us. It was super, super fun, and not... Read more

Let’s Speak Truth in Smack-down (and love, obviously)

Last updated on: February 16, 2015 at 12:44 pm By Calah Alexander

Sometimes I feel like none of us blogging Catholics ever fight fair, cause we’re all worried about compassion and love and junk. We’re way too ready to whip out the “Greatest Commandment” trump card anytime someone says something we don’t like or disagrees with us or makes stupid words with their stupid typing fingers. I’m pretty sure I used it at least 50 times just in that one week after Pope Francis said we should all be gay. What I... Read more
