Fistful of Love by Antony and the Johnsons is simultaneously absolutely beautiful and incredibly creepy.

Someone got to my website today by googling for "bad things about terpstras in canada". For the record, there is nothing bad to say about Terpstras, particularly Canadian Terpstras, at least in my experience. I lived on residence with a Terpstra who had a party barn back home on the farm (a barn for PARTYING, completely separate from the barn for WORKING), and who lent me baler twine when I needed it for a prank. You can't go wrong with mischievous Dutch boys!

Also, Heather B. Armstrong says "crayon" totally wrong. "CROWN"? Crazy Americans.

This is what happens when you ask Metafilter whether or not you should become Christian. You could also ask Metafilter how we know whether or not the Bible is fiction. Look! Atheists and Christians engaging in snark! Everyone gets offensive AND defensive! The internet is fun! Actually, there were some constructive comments in both threads, moreso than I expected. Still not as useful as this thread on losing faith, which was quite nice (four years ago!).

I've been working from home the last couple of weeks, and while it's good in that I don't have to sit in a freezing office and I don't have an hour-long commute, it's bad in that my bed is so close to my desk, and also my books and my roommates and my snacks and oh! so many distractions! Maybe I will start taking my computer to a coffee shop and doing work from there, without Internet access. That would cut out 90% of my distractions in one fell swoop.
