About Food

Earlier in the week I put up this post for the Call to Action Young Adult Catholics' blog. I've been reading The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan, and it's got me thinking about what kinds of things we regard as sacred, and just how seriously...

Oh, yeah, that ended a while ago.

So I guess Dianne broke up with the polite, quiet, might-be-a-serial-killer guy. :-)

It came up fairly often in all my Google-based research for this strip, but I haven't actually taken the time to watch it yet. Thanks for the link! I'll check it out.

Right now I'm reading Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. It's a really fascinating examination of the modern American food industry. So far it's pretty much reinforced my overall belief that our consumer-driven economy is just a bad idea altog...

Bethany B. said:Maybe O'Connor's characters seem more rigid to me? That's a good point ... her characters do tend to have a harder edge to them. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that she lived her life so fully immersed in the cu...

I don't know. I seem to like Greene's characters (so far) a lot more than O'Connor's, but I don't mind hanging out with O'Connor's characters for the length of a short story. Maybe O'Connor's characters seem more rigid to me?

Just finished Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman, and loved it. Very fun ... heavily steeped in ancient mythology and folklore (which I love) and the voice is very light and funny throughout -- like Douglas Adams, with more plot.

Read Any Good Books Lately? 6 Replies

"Watchmen" Movie

I just saw it last night. I liked it, in much the same way I liked the Lord of the Rings movies; it didn't come close to the book and there were several changes or interpretive decisions that made ...

Who Would You Cast?

I found this fun little site the other day, that lets users pick the ideal cast for their favorite books. It's actually a game Connie and I like to play sometimes, after we've both finished reading...

A Temporary Cutback

Sorry to say, but "Ask Rachel" will be cutting back to twice a week for the time being. Look for new comics on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the next few months, which are going to be particularly hectic for me. My plan is to step up the schedule again by the fall.

Thanks for reading!
