Fri - December 31, 2004The Goyablog is Dead; Long Live the Goyablog2004 is over and so is this version of Goyablog. I
will be starting a fresh new Goyablog at my new web home, goyaboy.org, once
2005 begins. I'll keep this one archived here for now. In the meantime, eat lots
of goya for a Healthy and Happy New Year!
Posted at 07:30 PM | Wed - December 29, 2004More Red State Values Billboards in Georgia
 I like the juxtaposition of temptation and threat
of eternal damnation expressed across the billboards we encountered in
Georgia.
Posted at 10:56 PM | Wed - December 22, 2004More Red State Values Can never have too much jiggling flesh with that
ribeye.
As Safa and I trek down to Florida from Nashville to visit the mom-in-law, I've seen more billboards like these along I-75 in the Red State of Georgia than on any other strip (so to speak) of highway in any other state ever, including Nevada (the Red State with licensed prostitution). "Lucky Spa Massage" and "Lap dancing--We Bare All" declarations at several truck stops make me wonder about the connection between Jesus and strip joints. Oh yeah, our hotel in Valdosta, GA is next to a Hooters:  Posted at 08:22 PM | Mon - December 20, 2004XXXmas Toys Christmas plush toy cross-species miscegenation in
The Mall at
Green Hills , Nashville.
Posted at 09:26 PM | Geisha Sumo Child Children in Japan look like a cross between a
geisha and a sumo wrestler, apparently. This ethic image is made courtesy of
Safa's kindergarten classroom. I wonder what the comparable American looks like
on the Japanese version of "Children Around the World." Probably a kiddie
version of a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
Posted at 09:22 PM | Sun - December 19, 2004GoyabreakNo new entries in almost two weeks! Egads, what's
become of Goyaboy? Well, he's been working hard on getting the intro to his book
done (it's done, more or less--now on the chapter one) and dealing with
Christmas-related tasks, including setting up a website for his mother's
crafting business as my gift to her. This means that evening blogging sessions
have ground to a halt. But fear not--the web hosting I set up for Mom allows me
to add-on my own domain name. This means that the New Year will start with a New
and Improved Goyablog among other neat things at--you guessed it--goyaboy.org. Right now there is simply
a single page announcement of my intentions at goyaboy.org. I'll probably
archive this blog and start fresh with the 2gig server space and 75gig bandwidth
Mom and I will be sharing. Oh yeah, her web site will be at luvinstitches.com . I'm working on the basics for it right now,
if you want to peek at it.
Posted at 10:18 PM | Mon - December 6, 2004Red State "Values" in Action These stats on teen pregnancy are from the Center of Disease
Control via itaffectsyou.org via DailyKos. Looks
like those vaunted red state values aren't too effective in curbing fornication.
And the rest of the Union is supposed to follow suit? I love the euphemism "teen
parent." My mom was a "teen parent" (19) when she had me.
Posted at 10:42 PM | Wed - December 1, 2004The Bird's-Eye View
 After the rain the other day I got up on the roof
and pretended I was a heron looking for breakfast in the pond below. The stones
on the edge of these photos are of the chimney. The two larger trees on the
bottom of the right-hand photo are my dwarf Eastern White Pines. The triangle of
smaller pines at middle right is our family: a Japanese Black Pine at top (me,
because it is traditionally considered a male element in Japanese gardens; a
Japanese Red Pine on the right edge (Ruth, because--you guessed it--it is
considered female); and a dwarf Mugo Pine (Safa, because it's the smallest).
Posted at 10:36 PM | Sun - November 28, 2004Audrey Tautou I came across a fetching photo of French actress
Audrey
Tautou
(Amélie)
from an article about how the latest film she's in,
Jean Pierre Jeunet's A Very Long
Engagement , is not considered
"French enough" to qualify for French film awards this year (because Warner
Pictures backed it). I've been meaning to see
Amélie
for a long time, but now want to see
AVLE
based on the rave reviews I've read. I dunno, Mlle. Tautou
looks "French enough" to me. You can see more photos of her here
.
