The Sci Fi Catholic Yak Module
Dude, I knew about this at least a year ago. Please do try and stay current! And yes, it is hilarious--except, I think, for the bittersweet ending that undercuts all the hilarity up to that point. But don't feel too bad. I haven't blogged in weeks either, and I don't even have the excuse that I'm studying to be a priest.
Now get back to your metaphysics or moral theology or whatever it is you seminarian type guys do first semester!
Hey, there's an idea! Howsabout a post on how things are going so far? What are you studying? How do you like it? Pictures of the campus? How is Snuffles adjusting to the transition? Have you told your spiritual director you have a dragon who is actually a sentient nebula? (Perhaps it's best not to 
)
A current post, hmm?
Okay, okay, I missed this a year ago. I can't know everything, can I?
Don't fight. Please. Just. Don't. You'll make me cry.
I had not seen this either..thanks for throwing the link our way.
Doogie Howser all grown up..
PaperSmyth--
Had a mini-wellness physical at work today as part of our annual benefits briefing...had a cholesterol test taken...total cholesterol down almost 35 points since July 1st!! Diet and exercise DOES work!! (At least for me and Down almost 14 inches and two dress sizes. Yeah Soon I'll be as thin as Deej--unless he's packing on the Freshman 15
But got my flu shot today and feel like crap..but I resisted the evil (!) temptation of Ben & Jerry..and here in the wilds of Utah winter is fast approaching...along with the additional evil of Seasonal Affective Disorder...that's when I REALLY want to forget the gym and to curl up with Ben & Jerry (ice cream, that is in a big fuzzy blanket by the roaring fireplace..where's the sunshine??
I had not seen it either. In fact, I could not have a year ago as I did not have the equipment and software to watch it. (Who is Doogie Howser?)
Sara, our pastor says that once he figures out how they get three servings out of a pint of Ben & Jerry's, he'll move on to trying to understand the big mysteries, like The Trinity.
I have SADD symptoms every winter as well, which might explain why I could cry at the drop of a hat. Sadly, gym membership is not in our budget, but I did go for a walk yesterday. It did not help.
I think SADD sells a lot of sci-fi. Usually by mid-Nov. I'm regularly self-medicating with a steady stream of big-haired aliens & space explosions.
I don't know who Doogie Howser is, either.....
PaperSmyth and Xena, Doogie Howser was the protagonist of a short-lived late '80s TV show called "Doogie Howser, MD" starring a then teenage Neil Patrick Harris. Doogie was supposedly a child prodigy who passed his SAT at 7, finished medical school at 12 and was now practicing medicine at an age when most boys are worrying about zits, hickeys, voice changes, and losing their virginity. Think, "The Wonder Years" meets "Marcus Welby." I don't think the writers could ever decide whether it was supposed to be a comedy or a drama, so it wound up being neither 
And PaperSmyth, please don't cry. Deej and I weren't fighting, honest. He knows I really like him, the big lug
80's television? Now you're going to make ME cry.
80's television? Now you're going to make ME cry.
Xena, yep. According to the Internet Movie Database, 1989-93. I'm surprised it lasted that long!
There's really THREE servings in a pint of Ben and Jerry's?? Explains alot..
Although that obviously comes from someone either not in severe break-up mode nor mired in SADD..at least the sun came out a bit today but was accompanied by COLD wind...bbbrr
And if I'm the only one here besides Niall who remembers Doogie Howser..yeesh..he was REALLY cute too..all the girls had a crush on him..although not as nearly as bad as the Apollo vs Starbuck crush..there's still many a middle-age woman in serious long-term therapy over THAT one...like trying to decide between Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough or Double Chocolate Fudge Ripple...
Niall and Deej, I'm just emo right now, I guess. Sorry, gents.
I didn't even own a TV from the fall of '89 to '94 so that explains the memory gap. That and the rock I like to live under. 
Sara, that brand is out of my price range, but that's how I remember him saying it. He's a fitness fanatic, too, but likes his ice cream.
Xena, I had been attempting just such kind of self-medication, having had three relatives buried in the last two weeks and a totally insane job schedule. I found what looked like a decent trilogy with SF technology elements, conspiracy theory, big-brother government, semi-fake mythology, and swordplay. Good first novel. Half-way through the second novel, the protagonists, who up to this point have managed to hold hands once, find themselves alone in a convent chapel and decide to have a, shall we say, "deep spiritual experience"... with each other. Bit much.
What's wrong with a deep spiritual experience in a chapel? That seems like an appropriate place for...oh, oooohhhh, I get it.
Well, that's tasteless.
Niall, I can't believe you're dissing Doogie Howser, MD. That show was awesome, right up there with Airwolf. Man, the '80s turned out some great TV. What's weird is that Harris hasn't aged at all since then.
"What's weird is that Harris hasn't aged at all since then."
And neither has our esteemed blogmeister..the visage of eternal youth
He'll be carded clear up into his 40's..
Who, me? No, I've aged a good deal in the last five years or so. I finally look like I'm around thirty. Five years ago, I still got mistaken for a teenager, but not anymore.
Speaking of appearances, nice picture of The Mischievous Adolescent.
Deej?? 30?? Not even close..
There's a priest in our diocese that still get confused for an altar server...I saw him at the funeral for one of our monks and self said to myself.."That young man sure does a wonderful job serving at the altar..I wonder if He's considered being a priest?" Lo and behold..I guess all that good clean living..
I shall correct my error. There are four (4) servings in a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. The variety I checked at the store was 270 calories for that 1/2 cup.
4 servings?? A half cup is only like 2 spoonfuls...
Naww..A pint has to be one serving..how else can you make a decent milkshake??
woohoo.. you did read my email!
It is the best thing ever.
