You'll notice that in yesterday's post, I didn't say, "More later today." I was going to, but didn't wish to raise the hopes of my 14 loyal readers.
I've decided this everyday-writing-thing would be easier if I had daily topics that I'd go back to week after week. That's worded poorly, but what I mean is that every week I would write on the following topics:
Monday: the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Tuesday: gross bodily functions [above navel].
Wednesday: the olden days in Iowa Falls and Ames.
Thursday: gross bodily functions [below navel].
Friday: potpourri, but post must be written as a palindrome.
Suggest.
On my two promises for this week:
1) I'm going to write a 1,000-word review responding to the question (as Kim puts it), "How can Ghost World be your favorite film of the year?" (To clarify: she doesn't dislike the film, but she doesn't understand how I can love it so much. Memento, conversely, she gets my love for; like my dad said, it's easy to think of Memento as a great film because he [and Kim, and I] never would have thought about creating a film like that.)
2) When I said "I'll share a couple ideas on this tomorrow" regarding what modern ideals will seem "near-horrific" in 2052, you'll notice I didn't say my ideas. I had none. I was fortunate to get a couple responses to this question, though:
"Abortion won't stay in this 50/50 split for another half-century. Either it'll be widely considered America's Holocaust or it'll be the hip thing to do." [Wrong, I'd say; during my lifetime, abortion will always be legal, and about a third of the country will be vehemently against it. It's been like this for 30 years, and I don't see any catalyst for change.]
"In 50 years, Canada will take over the US and [we'll] all speak like those people in Fargo." [We can only hope.]

i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
