rough church

GERG

My best friend in college, known him for 20 years. He has a new band: Rough Church. I hope it goes well. The last band, Ferdinand, was really good but fell apart. The MP3s on the Rough Church site are very, very rough but I like “Absolution Song” quite a lot ( mp3 link here ).

Can’t be objective about it really. I’ve been through 3 different bands in a few different iterations with him and been through a lot more shit. I want his band to do well.

GET A ROPE

The New York Dog. In the parks, on the streets, at the office, in the terrace cafe, or peeking out of a Chanel handbag …

Child substitute, proof of the loneliness of city life, date bait, symbol of success and excess – the dog is many things to many people in New York.

There is a magazine for all of those rich people with their tiny dogs now. This follows the rule that every Lifestyle Mistake in this country becomes a magazine.

There are obits and ”doggyscopes”.

And then the Lord spake, saying “Well done, my good and faithful Mary-Sue.”

Stoatmaster9000 unearthed a cache of Left Behind fan fiction.

Already we have a winner here just because there’s Evangelical Christian fanfic. Nothing very slashy, which is good for everyone’s sanity. However, as Mr. Stoat pointed out, there are serious theological problems with warning about “spoilers for Glorious Appearance”. Can there be a Dispensationalist spoiler? Who writes or reads fan fiction about the end of the world? Why me? Why anyone? WHY ME?

Sorry, got carried away there for a sec. But wait. If there’s fic about the Left Behind books, is there going to be a lot of fanfic about the.. um.. you know.. BIBLE? Why yes, at least 733 people have written some.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be writing some steamy slash about Hap-Pea and Pea Wee. The possibilities are endless.
