Quick update

[theatokos]

I have been sick for nearly a week. What started as a mild cold has turned into something lingering and heinous. Nothing is interesting in this state. I have nothing witty or deep to report. Except, I am reading Judith Plaskow's latest book of essays, The Coming of Lilith, essays on feminism, Judaism, and sexual ethics. I highly recommend this book, even if you're not Jewish. She is clear, determined without being inflammatory, and you can get the basics of feminist methodology without much pain or effort. I aspire to such writing. Also, if you haven't seen The Prestige do so at your earliest convenience. It is such a good film.

I await drugs and a nap.

That book sounds fascinating. Hope you feel better soon!

I liked the trickiness of The Prestige but I would have liked the movie more as a whole if the Big Secret wasn't so very deus ex machina. Literally...

Also, I have read a couple of chapters of Sallie McFague's Life Abundant and thought of you. She is a Christian ecofeminist theologian and I think she would rock your world.

As for the film, yeah.... it is seriously deus ex machina, but I just didn't care. It's the best film I have seen recently - the most engaging, the trickiest, the most well made - that I just didn't care.

Plus, you know, David Bowie as Tesla just rocks.

Hey, I think I may have the same nasty bug that you do, as I also thought I was over this days ago. Does yours include a dreadfully sore throat (I hope not actually!)

Feel better!
