Knickknacks
Time to write. Time to write. No time to write. Hosea part 3 is in the works, but not ready for posting yet. You’ll just have to wait, my literary piranhas.
New to the blogosphere, is the currently under construction “Your Face Is A Website,” by njero. Whether or not that will be the finished site’s name I don’t know, but when it’s up be sure I’ll post the link.
Joseph Bottum offers reflections on Dicken’s A Christmas Carol, here, or here. The reason I never summarize these things, by the way, is because if I bother to post the link it’s worth reading. Though to be fair, I think almost everything First Things prints is worth reading.
There were supposed to be some more knicks, and possibly even a few extra knacks, in this post. But it’s just going to have to do as is. There’s plenty of reading over at First Things to keep you busy this time of year. Perhaps I’ll have some Christmas reflections up soon. Or something.

I completely agree Brad. I’ve watched that film every Christmas since I was little, not just because it’s Christmas ‘classic’, but because it’s a great film.

Njero: I’ve made a blood pact with the devil and everyone you know that if your site isn’t the best thing on the internet, we’ll all shun you for the rest of your life. Hell itself will close it’s gates to you. How’s that for pressure?

Yeah, and scary as hell. The bell that rigns without moving is way scarrier than the other versions where it does the cliche “moves by itself” routine. Also the ghosts circling the old woman in the street with that loud screaming music playing… truly frightening.

Wait, wait… So if my site sucks, I don’t go to hell… Fascinating.
