My gentle and ever sinful flock! In spite of your refusal to send me any money for those in need *cough*, I will nonetheless wish you a very peaceful and happy christmas. May the New Year be filled with love, friendship and laughter. And may your jobs not be too stressful but rather satisfying - as is mine as your parish banker ... erm... priest.

Remember? I gave you the first stanza of a poem and asked you to find a title and compose a second stanza.
Well, all right, I was not very lucky in finding participants here ;) but I will still keep my word and post the original poem along with the results. They are surely worth it! Thanks, elle_icit !!! Your throne still has not been broken *g*

( Pure genius behind the cut... :) )

Here are videos of the autograph giving (First We Take Manhattan) and the "Volkswagen" joke (Whither thou goest):

Right, so yesterday was my second LC concert and although there cannot much else be said after Lörrach, I still want to write a short review in order to remember.
The concert was just as brilliant as last time. Lenny's voice hasn't suffered from the many concerts in between at all - it was amazing!!! He even seemed younger than in Lörrach, jumping ( Read more... )

Here's a good one from the latest BL album. They decided to make one with children's songs - kind of unusual most of them of course.
Hope you enjoy this cute one as much as I do :)

By the way, tomorrow I will attend my second Leonard Cohen concert. You can imagine I am looking forward to that.

Ah, and I am still hopeful that some more participants for ( Read more... )

You guys are so very creative. Fact.
I would love to experience more of that instead of flooding you with my half-hearted compositions.
Therefore, I come up with this challenge *drumroll*
I will present you with the first stanza of a poem that some of you will probably know - but don't cheat! It is absolutely illegal to even glance at the original ( Read more... )

My last post made it clear to me that there are quite some misconceptions about my faith and what it means for my way of life or opinions. I know that Roman Catholicism has an aura of the strict, unrelenting control mechanism around it. The "unannointed" ;) may even think we run around scourging ourselves for every sinful thought. Or at least that ( Read more... )

[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
Yup. Doesn’t seem too revealing to me ;)
( Presumably thought provoking survey... )

I only just realized that there are several videos that were taken during the soundcheck and the concert at Lörrach up on youtube by now. Thus my brain thinks I am back on that market place, i.e. fan heaven. So, I am ridiculously happy in spite of the undeniable fact that I will be back at work tomorrow (where our unorganized bosses will make my ( Read more... )

First conference today - back in the hell house. No timetables - we had to work something out for next week ourselves again. After that I went to my classroom, carrying and pushing tables and chairs to make it presentable. Man, that furniture was dirty - but I absolutely refused to clean it. They actually expected us to bring a bucket and cloth ( Read more... )
