One of the better conversations about CS Lewis I've had.

From a while back...

Kimberly Jane Prijatel Dude, I am SO TIRED of CS Lewis arguments.

Micah Sergey 

why kim? he's obviously the best intellectual we've got in the whole 2000+ years of our tradition

Micah Sergey 

and he smoked a pipe. omg thats so cool!

Micah Sergey 

;)

Kimberly Jane Prijatel 

Yeah, but that pipe was more pipe-ish than a pipe of our world. It had pipe-like qualities, but even more pipe-y.

Micah Sergey 

the pipe was so pipey that the smoker feels that there must be some outside judge that determines 'pipeiness.' god exists, qed!

Kimberly Jane Prijatel 

Either he was a lunatic and thought he was smoking a pipe (while in reality it was merely a nice chunk of herring he got in the market), he was a liar, who boasted about a pipe to appear fashionable, or he really did smoke a pipe and he reigned over that pipey pipe in a way that demands all pipes to submit to him. Now, I don't think he was a lunatic, and I don't think he lied. Therefore, the only conclusion we can make is that he did in fact smoke a pipe and all pipes MUST allow him to smoke them.

Micah Sergey 

this made me smile

Kimberly Jane Prijatel 

nice cop out.

Micah Sergey 

did i tell you that i copped your mom out

Kimberly Jane Prijatel 

did you MERELY cop my mom out?

Micah Sergey 

no, i practiced a severe mercy

Kimberly Jane Prijatel 

Well even so, the result was a Great Divorce.

wow, I love what happened here.

Breaking from Metaphysics midterm into something semi-creative/fun.

In Morton, Illinois this morning I ate my bread with strawberry freezer-jam. I climbed the ladder in the barn. I watched her drive away. I hugged an old friend. I thought of things I said not to. I peeled the cucumbers.

I learned freezer-jam is self-explanatory. That straw and hay are not the same. That she came back for her luggage. That he loves electric sheep. That things really are getting better. That these aren’t enough olives for a really good Albanian salad.

But the jam can’t be left out at room temperature. And the straw on the second floor gets slick. She said she needs to think for a while. His hair got so long. It’s foolish to infer. The cherry tomatoes are pre-washed.

So I store it in a Mason jar. I slid and fell into the bale of straw. They drove away together and missed dinner. He almost bought an organ. Think of the likelihood. The ratio of lemon juice to olive oil is 2:7.

This cold slush reminds me of summer smoothies. This straw smells heavenly. They’ll come back laughing, later. He's wearing a new sweater. Keep it out of sight. It's too cold to conclude; I'm missing the feta. ALSO, I LOVE DAN.
