Those friends of mine who have been reading this LJ for a while know that I used to write a blog called Daily Breadcrumbs, in which I systematically read through the Bible and blogged about my reflections. I got as far as 2 Samuel before giving up the endeavor in late 2008, but in the past few months I've picked it up again. No, there aren't any ( Read more... )

Had a full day at work today, working on a super-rush project that needed to be taken from script to finished in 24 hours (usually we get at least 3-4 days ( Read more... )

Attention, attention! For all the Daily Breadcrumbs fans out there, today is your lucky day! Daily Breadcrumbs returns on Monday, December 1, tackling 2 Samuel and going as far as we can! Hope to see you all there.

I wasn't going to post anymore this morning, but this is too good to pass up. As most of you know, I spent about a year running a series called Daily Breadcrumbs, which was a chance for me to read through the Bible and write op-eds about it.

These were two people who were remarkably well-informed about obscure Bible stories I had no reason to expect they'd know (stay tuned for Saturday's Daily Breadcrumbs essay, for ( Read more... )

Judges 4 and 5 are so full of awesomeness that I'm probably going to turn them into something bardic-y for the SCA. I'm very much looking forward to writing Saturday's essay ( Read more... )

Many thanks to everyone who offered hugs in response to my last post. Things are much better today ( Read more... )

Writing Daily Breadcrumbs doesn't take me long -- perhaps an hour, tops. And yet somehow in the 45 minutes I was writing today, I found myself needing to bring in the groceries and answering not one, not two, but three phone calls. One a telemarketer who, like all so many telemarketers, refused to accept "no, thank you," as an acceptable answer ( Read more... )

Yes, it's true! After a four-month hiatus, Daily Breadcrumbs is back to tackle the book of Joshua.

It may be another 4 years until I finish this project, but who cares? It gives me something to do. Hopefully you enjoy it as well.

As a reminder, you can read Daily Breadcrumbs off its LJ feed, directly to your friends page. And, for those who ( Read more... )

The brunch was, in fact, lovely. It was in honour of Kelly's birthday, and involved many crepes, jazz versions of songs that should under no circumstances have jazz versions, and much laughter. Afterwards it was off to Alan and Anna's and Tyler's for some conversation and JLA watching. Sorry for not staying longer, guys, but my allergies were ( Read more... )
