The Academy of Religion conference looked interesting, but just too many things going on of late. Anything you found particularly interesting?

The Stranger - I'd forgotten about that (and had only seen it in print form before). Didn't know they had a blog. Thanks for the pointer.

Risking political incorrectness - I like the Barbarella icon. :-) A friend recently loaned me a copy of some of the collected comics, and I've always been a sucker for good bad movies (particularly SF movies).
