would you rather?

so today is good friday which means there are two distinct choices.

1) worship jesus in a conventional (stuffy) sort of way comme ça:

2) imagine (if you will) jesus resurrected in the '70's unaware of the fact that he is in a musical rendition of the last week of his life, comme ça:
(helpful hint: one has dancing and exposed midriffs.)
sidenote: in the seventh grade i wanted the double-disk original 1973 broadway recording of jesus christ superstar but i had no money. so my mom offered me a trade: she would buy me the album if i did all of my own laundry from there on out. i thought this seemed very fair and resonable..... i still think to myself sometimes- yes! best trade ever!

What I never understood was the lesson about teaching Men to fish, but then giving away all those miracle fish to the hungry people.

yeah i know! why didn't they start a miracle fish traveling show where the fish jump through magic hoops above the water like shamu? that could have been a big seller. marketing just wasn't the same back then.

KAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!

I just called you. Where are you? Are your toes being painted like Easter eggs right now? Maybe little golden crucifixes with dripping blood, too?
You are so festive!

(I found your blog. I'm your blog friend and my blog is 700 years old. Ha!)

Erin! I literally almost called you just now except that I don't think the number I for you is correct. I'm going to be in Tampa for approximately 7 million years this summer between Madison and NYC (I'm moving to NY for law school at the end of August) so we should hang. Also, I think it would be fun to get a group together to rent a house on the beach for a few days-- it would be super cheap if we can get several people! Would you and Tyler tentatively be interested??

I think Katharine might be obsessed with Jesus. That's all I'm gonna say.

Hello? You can't just leave us like this...we are expecting more of your wit and political commentary!
