The mailbag is overflowing, so I want to get right to it, but real quick let me say: if you get to the end of this and it leaves you hungry for more, please feel free to check out live.newsong.net. There's a whole new post from London, maybe you can print it out, read it on the john, then use it for origami. Now the mailbag: Q: I have a two part question: Are you and blogbyken sitting in the same room blogging right now, and if so, how come it says you are currently listening to different stuff? --S. Swamidass, Bangkok A: Yeah ain't it cool? The blogs are born 10 feet apart then burst out into cyberspace to readers all over the world! Re: the currlists, it's pretty simple: I put new music on when bbk went up to call his favorite Hamm & City rider. (By the way, I told you before, I don't care how high you can jump, you gotta keep it to one question just like everyone else). Q: How's the weather up there? --D. Verdoorn, Sacramento, CA A: Normally a boring question unless it's directed to a tall person, in which case it becomes very funny! But actually I'm glad you asked because it's so sunny right now. (How sunny is it?) It's so sunny that this weekend a palm tree magically materialized on our back patio. Q: Congratulations on the baby!!! How is Jill doing??? --P. Pat, Soi Phipat A: Jill is looking so good. (How good does she look?) She looks so good that the construction workers near our house are being even more inappropriate now than they were prewithchild! The latest news is: it's a girl!!! We've already got the name, Lily Claire; we're planning for her to have a slightly more bohemian wardrobe-- big sunglasses, flowy dresses with paisley prints, hair parted down the middle, maybe a few medallions. Q: Is it true that Sigourney Weaver has made a recent resurgence in your life? M.M. Shin, Los Angeles, CA A: Wow, how did you hear about that? The answer is yes, this past week I have seen her upstaged by a half-man in Aliens, extremely fertile in Baby Mama, and just this morning we referenced the fact that "There is no Dana, only Zool." She's like the angel on my shoulder, an oft-forgotten Hollywood beauty. Q: What's a hendre? --J. Brown, London A: According to www.hendre.org.uk, "Hendre is the parent body of the Hendre group." But more importantly, he's the guy commandeering your bed tonight, leaving 20 pounds outside the door for you to use as a pillow. Deal with it brosv. And finally... Q: Bru(ce), Who, what, where, when, why, how is this "Chitters" entity? Seriously, spill, because it is tormenting me and I need more sleep. --Slim A., Granite Bay, CA A: He's Edmond Dantés... and he was my father. And my mother... my brother... my friend. He's you... and me. He's all of us. He's the voice in your head when you think you left the iron on... but more than anything he's the guy you call on when you need someone to flat out mash. And with that, sleep in heavenly peace. Sawaatddy Cortopassi to all! |
