For Whom the Belle Tolls

Writer, cultural observer, closet medievalist with the prudishness of a Victorian. Everyone secretly believes in the Great Chain of Being as much as I do.

@jdflynn I always thought the toys were a metaphor for vocation. They have to accept that they were created for a purpose. Apparently this went off the rails in the 4th one?

@Prof_Cooper Your stories about your marriage on the podcast always make me smile...like when you and your wife went searching for FMA DVDs at local malls, or you got drunk at a historical reenactment party and danced with another chick dressed in Revolutionary War garb. Happy anniversary!

@owenbroadcast You worked with Henry Winter.

@CptHastings1916 There’s no divorce in the wizarding world!

Any flight where you have to take a bus to get to the gate is automatically relegated to third world status.

I'm getting genuinely depressed about being sent AI-generated articles. Why do you even want to be seen as a writer? I like having a machine to do my dishes because I don't like doing dishes. What attracted you to writing if you don't like WRITING?

@KayClarity Great novel!

@romanhelmetguy Joseph Plumb Martin’s narrative account of the Revolution. Jonathan Edwards got to be on the list.

@DeanAbbott I’ve healed a great deal, but the downplaying of the effect on children is dangerous.

@PhilipDBunn Have you seen the mini series with Jane Seymour?

[For Whom the Belle Tolls @bellepocrypha]

@docMJP The real problem with it is getting there. Once you're inside, it's not that bad.

-Trump starts a war with Iran and causes gas to Skyrocket

Red Letter Media is directly responsible for the oil crisis

Never stop saying "dozen" and "half dozen". Never stop using the word you read in an old novella. Never stop using your regional jargon. Don't succumb to an internationalized English stripped of its whimsy and romanticism in the name of streamlining global commerce.

@EduardHabsburg I think the first hour of this movie is great, but the actual payoff of the setup is corny. Glad you enjoyed it with your daughter!

@holysmoke @ruby_dunn01 From a Catholic perspective, the marriage was never valid. But also, there are children involved, which makes the separation of the parents a bigger deal from a prudential perspective.
