I had a post on Friday. I wrote it, and posted it, and the computer network here went pffft! and ate it all up. So now it's Monday, and I feel compelled to post, though I've got nothin', as the comedians like to say. I suppose I could at least explain the cause of my nothin'ness.
This weekend my folks came to visit--Dad's b'day was Sunday, but they came to keep The Boy while Hublet and I went to see The Passion and then oversaw the videotaping of the Miss Hobbton Pageant at Hublet's high school. I can think of no two events more certain to create a feeling of surrealism when taken together than those two, especially when they're separated by a mere 3 hours.
Let's see: scourging of Christ, then 4 tap dance routines IN A ROW. Via dolorosa, Simon of Cyrene, Mary's suffering? Casual wear competition, featuring contestants' reminiscenses of their "most embarrassing moments." Death on a Friday afternoon, temple being split asunder, Satan left howling? 3 way tie for Miss Congeni-freaking-ality.
Sorry. Can't make these two things fit in one brain on one day. I'm still digesting the movie, and part of that depends upon my ability to ignore the fact that there is a Teen Miss Relay for Life in Sampson County.
Back tomorrow.
