JOURNAL [first published in "The Flatland Oracles"]. Man, I need to get OUT OF THE HOUSE. This internet crap is killing me. KILLING me.
When I was a kid, I was famous (in my house) for getting caught up in projects or hobbies, going at them full throttle for days (and nights on end) and then abruptly burning out. After I burned out, I was DONE.
I actually started my blog AND my site last year. I didn't actually get tired of them so much as 'seriously overburdened at work.' When it's happening (which it isn't at the moment) my work is all-consuming. I don't get to play at all. This---blogging and page-building---is play, or was.
Today I wrote about an issue to which I have been giving a good deal of my attention----the shifting pictures of Christ as presented in both conventional and alternative Christianity. I am all for alt-Jesus, but even then, it's hard to decide which one.
Time for a break, I think!
UPDATE:
Interestingly, after reading my discussion of Baigent's The Jesus Papers, Nick pulled out a tape he'd saved of the documentary. The Unknown Jesus. One of the first people to appear in it was Michael Baigent. Dominick Crossan was in it too, sounding more Irish somehow than I'd imagined when reading his books. Interesting. Also a very good documentary. I'll be watching it again.
