Remember, O Thou Man Week 4: Why Solzhenitsyn is in My Top 3 Historical Figures, feat. more ‘Four Last Things’ than some might be able to stomach

Tallyhi friends! How are you on this fine Monday to end all Mondays? *waits for response* Oh it’s not Monday when you’re reading this? I wish I could time travel. I’m a pretty patient person, especially with spreadsheets, so let me tell you I don’t say lightly that we are all sort of losing our […]

Remember, O Thou Man Week Two: I swear this discussion of Hadestown is Really Quite Relevant

IT IS REALLY QUITE RELEVANT. If I were a character in Greek mythology, I would swear on the River Styx. Just…read it. And then I dare you to tell me it’s not applicable. Also hi. How are you, my friend? Are you taking care of yourself? Just because life is busy and it’s Lent doesn’t […]

Remember O Thou Man Week One: Judas, Despair, and a Smattering of Fan Folktion

Tallyhi my friends! Now before you say anything: I did actually mean to start this out punctually. I meant to post this first post of the ‘event’ last Monday, or even on Ash Wednesday. Unfortunately, though, your girl fell horribly sick with the Doomful Virus that Shall Not Be Named. I’ve had it before and […]

A Somewhat Harum Scarum Q&A–feat. some questions from a friend but also many of the unhinged WordPress Prompts

Hello hello hello, my friends, and happy Mardi Gras! I am, for perhaps the first time in my life, doing a seriously big thing for Mardi Gras. Our new choir director (as of the first of the year) decided the choir ought to put on a Madrigal Night fundraiser for Mardi Gras–it’s basically dinner theater. […]

Announcing Remember, O Thou Man 2023 (+ a few other things)

How is it already almost Lent again. Ahem. I assume a lot of you know the drill already, but in case you don’t, allow me to explain. And elaborate. And bring out new graphics. And ramble about some unrelated stuff. Tallyho! Lent is a Formidably Neat Thing So Lent, of course, is the period of […]

Fan Folktion: High Tragedy–feat. one of the saddest songs I know and some reflections on original sin therein

Good morrow, my merry friends. I hope all are well! ^don’t ask me why the super antiquated greeting. I have no rhyme or reason and that’s just the way it is. Okay so I’ve been promising you guys a fan folktion for a few weeks now. Here we have it. Without further ado, then, let […]

Winter–A Meditative Sketch

Merry Christmas, yis’ beauts! I hope you and your loved ones have thusfar had and will continue to have a glorious and blessed Christmas season. Also, happy feast of Saint Stephen! I come today, as promised, with the last of the four seasons ‘Meditative Sketches.’ I think it’s also the shortest by far. I feel […]

Liturgical Season Vs. Seasons in General–feat. a handful of folk songs, some rambling about Ember Days, and a rant about the secular perception of Christmas

Okay, this is gonna be what the kids might call a ‘smol’ post, guys. Because I simply don’t have time for more. But I really wanted to talk about this. So here I am talking about it. Um…that’s the intro. Tallyho. Disclaimer: a lot of this will be kinda meaningless to my non-Northern Hemisphere friends, […]

Some Advent Meditations–as sketched out by the hand of the Artist in those surrounding me

Hey friends! I’m sorry I was absent this week. It was more or less intentional. I’ve been working really hard, and socializing really hard (cuz holidays), and I’ve been kinda sick on top of it, so I decided to let blogging go in order to catch up on writing posts in a leisurely fashion, and […]

Know the Novel Part Two: Within ‘And After That, The Dark’

Tallyhi, yis’ beauts. (To use the Colm Mcguinness terms. Erm, the latter bit. Tallyhi is a Grim only thing. I think.) I think the title is fairly self explanatory. And unfortunately, I haven’t much time to introduction and gallivant and all that, as I’m writing this in a stolen half hour on Sunday evening. So […]
