Cameron, lay off the meth

Oh Parker, I forgot to tell you that I saw the episode of House with Cameron on meth. It was a shorter scene than I expected, but it was freaky, like you said. And for Agent 99, there was a Ryan Adams song used to open and close a different show. I looked it up; the song is "Desire."

Bible Beltin'

Today I walked by a man on the corner who was handing out tiny green Bibles. "Would you like a copy of the New Testament?"
I waved my hand. "No thanks."
For a second, I felt like I was in the south again.
And then I saw another man dispensing Bibles on the next corner. I'm not sure how much success they were having.

This reminds me of how when I stayed at a Hilton this past summer, there was a copy of Conrad Hilton's book about founding his hotels or whatnot. Obviously I had alternative reading material. At least it wasn't Paris's "writing."

Today's Etsy shop is Pulp Tart by Miss Anna Bronwyn. I love Anna's stuff because she uses such striking bold beads married to recycled metal (motorcycle parts) for her jewelry. Her paintings are worth a look too. When I accumulate more cash, I might need to increase my meager Pulp Tart collection.
