Regarding a conversation I got into with my department secretary about fried chicken the other day…
If we are what we eat, and chickens eat grains and the like, does that mean it is vegan or vegetarian to eat chicken?
(Go go transitive property!)
Serious philosophy question is serious.

ATTENTION: IF YOU LIKE TO EAT....
Then pay yo-self some attention.
This is Ben. Regardless of what Ben says, the man is a master of culinary kung-fu, and if you don’t particularly care about your caloric intake, this man will lead you to the deepest levels of the tasty tasty rabbit hole.
Ben has a new cooking blog up, and I implore you to take a look.
Allow me to share with you a story of food, brought to you by Ben. ...
Of all the books I have sitting around my room waiting to be read, a Sanderson, two Gaiman, a Card, and a host of others, which am I most excited about?
The two cookbooks I just bought.
So, who wants to come by so I can cook for them?

Listen.
That is the sound of not running. It has been the choice for a very long time A safe choice
But nothing ventured is nothing gained Speed matters little when the footing is precarious Answers are seldom simple Words have a way of cutting twice Hurting at those we aim at And hurting us as we say them
Honesty is a painful virtue Everyone desires it But when they receive it They spit in its face

Haiku for you.
She moves like the wind
Spring in all its gloried youth
Candied lips caress

Fae at the edges
Rain collected on the leaf
Gone before the light

Weep, but love yet lives
Summer’s heat kindles passion
Setting with the sun

You know when you see or hear something and you think, is this really happening? And then it hits you, this idea digging deeper and deeper into you, slamming though layer after layer, and suddenly it’s at the center of your body, heat blossoming from it, shooting like fire through your veins….
This is beautiful, in the most raw, primal way.

I think you guys are missing the big picture with some of her lyrics. Let us look at an example:
“Kickin’ in the front seat, sittin’ in the back seat/Gotta make my mind up, which seat can I take?”
In this line, she is obviously hinting at things larger than a simply joy ride with some friends;…

Voice in Writing
As a writer, and as someone who tutored writing for a few years, I have had the opportunity to develop several voices in my own writing, and see the same thing with other writers. I’m not sure if I would call this code switching in writing, or simply a development of writers over time.
In my own person writing, I have observed three, maybe four distinct voices in my writing. Simply,...

For the record, since everyone seems to think this… I am NOT Amish! The profile picture was from me dressed up for a photo shoot…
I go away for the weekend, and I lose followers! Sad day!
I guess some people just didn’t like my Philosophy Major Ferret posts, boo hiss.
I had some time to do some thinking over the weekend, and I should have a couple posts of the philosophical arm chair nature this week!
That weird feeling you get when you are wanting to...

My heart goes out to her family, and for all people in Japan affected by this massive disaster.
What a night, what a weekend. Back to work tomorrow. Sad.
