Wow.. I hope for your sake, that they won't go all crazy on the anti-homo stuff. I wonder if you can do some creative editing... Write in subliminal messages and stuff.

I'm sure they won't... it's illegal, after all.

I'll have to see first what they want me to write... I'll keep you posted.

how hard is it gonna be to keep a straight face? (hahahaha) no, really, because catholics are CRAZY. if they didn't have so much historical clout, it'd be an official declaration. check this out:

(from www.clarifyingchristianity.com)

"The interest in angels (like the interest in dinosaurs) has really increased in the last few years. Unfortunately, some web sites and books contain very little factual information about angels. This is unfortunate, since the facts about angels are more interesting than the “fantasized” accounts any day! ....

How do we know this angel we meet in verse 7 is actually God? We have two sources of evidence. First, if you read the language, it sounds like God. After all, a normal (or angelic) person would not say “I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude” (verse 10). ....

The Bible refers to another type of angel, the seraphim, in Isaiah chapter 6. The description reveals that seraphim have six wings, a face, feet, hands, can fly and speak, and can be stationed at God’s throne. That still leaves us without knowing what the seraphim’s normal responsibilities are or what one looks like. (With the description we have, seraphim could physically resemble humans with six wings, cherubim with one face and two “extra” wings, or something else.) ....

also see


less fun crazy behaviour evidenced at :

they're freaky people, man... all that self-mortification, the transubstantiation, the fairies, sprites, angels, demons - this kind of stuff is part of the daily way they understand the world ... if you're depressed, it's not about serotonin, or about a (reasonable) reaction to the state of the planet, it's that
"When we are hurt, wounded, traumatized... we are vulnerable.
Evil spirits attack our emotions, and our pain is amplified!
When we are healed... we are less vulnerable.
Evil spirits have less to attack and are forced to depart.
Then they attack someone else!" (from a website entitled "catholic spiritual warfare")...


(i came across these at work, doing work-related stuff, believe it or not... anyway)


please learn what you can, and explain it to the rest of us.

The only thing I hope is that they won't begin questioning me about my private life, and then make horrible homophobic remarks. The papers are full of Christians attacking gays and I know this is their latest cause celebre. I think I'll try to be professional and just do my work, but if there is homophobia I will say something on my last day.

sorry, i'm just getting the hang of this: meant to direct you to this article, intended to incite craziness:

That's very strange... the article doesn't state a criticism or support of these gay friendly parishes... do you think its meant to make Catholics avoid those places? But couldn't it also work the opposite way, pushing Catholics with sympathetic views on gays towards those places?

i think the explicit intention is to identify these parishes to anti-gay catholics so they can protest gay-friendly churches. the original listing was meant to provide information for gay and gay-friendly catholics, and this "publication" hijacked the list for its own purposes.

it's weird but the place i'm working at is a publication of more than 150 years! It's very respected - the Archbishop of the Anglican Church wrote for it the other week for example. And they have some very progressive articles about acceptance of gays (which they view with "neutrality") and also women priests.

eheh.. every experience is worth, baby :)

1. Adorei as ilustrações do seu namorado! Great talent there, definetely. I loved his "ink+computer" works, and the watercolours ones. I´m managing to learn how to use watercolours properly...
And it´s very interesting mixing medias the way he does, using ink and computer in the same work :)

2. I´ll scan something and send it to you. But as I said before: be kind, I´m an amateur, I never tooked any art classes. I´m starting to working with watercolours, I´ll scan it when it´s done :)

3. E o Rilke é o máximo mesmo, um dos melhores poetas contemporâneos na minha opinião. Tenho dois livros dele em edição bilingüe com alemão, muito bom - claro, que só entendo a parte traduzida :) Uma das pessoas que traduziram o trabalho dele pro português foi um poeta paraense, Paulo Plínio ... alguma coisa, não sei corretamente o nome dele, vou verificar. Mas li que é uma das melhores traduções de Rilke pra português. Há vários livros e autores muito bons de literatura regional, se você gostar desse estilo, posso lhe enviar algum, sem problema, para você conhecer. Você gosta do Neil Gaiman?

1) Que bom! Vou dizer a ele... ele vai gostar. Eu nao sou nenhum critico de arte entao nao serei unkind with your watercolors!

2) pode me mandar sugestoes de livros... posso procurar aqui pois tem uma livraria que vende livros brasileiros.

1. Então tá bom - acabei de falar com a minha cunhada, que tem um scanner muito bom, e assim que eu terminar a série que eu estou fazendo, ela irá escanear e eu te mando :) Na verdade, o meu sonho mais maluco seria viver só de artes - artes plásticas e música :) Como é impossível viver disso aqui, enquanto permaneço, tenho que percorrer outros caminhos eheheh

2. De literatura paraense/regional, tem a Eneida de Moraes, que é a mais famosa de nossas escritoras. Ela tem alguns romances, mas a maioria são crônicas e contos da época que eloa viveu aqui, nos 30 e 40, antes de ir pro Rio e virar comunista :) Apesar da visão às vezes ingênua da cidade e da cultura paraense, típico de quem deixou a terra e passou décadas sem voltar, os escritos dela são muito bons, valem a pena uma leitura.
E quanto ao Neil Gaiman... Ele não tem nada a ver com isso, ehhee.. Ele é um escritor inglês jovem, começou escrevendo "Sandman", uma série de quadrinhos adultos, no fim dos anos 80. Ele tem vários livros publicados e premiados, e eu acabei de ler "American Gods", que, eu acho, foi lançado no ano passado. Dentre todos esses ficcionistas contemporâneos, enquanto todo mundo incensa o Nick Hornby e afins, na minha opinião, ninguém é melhor que o Neil Gaiman. Ele tem uma cultura, domínio do que escreve e uma imaginação incríveis, se você puder ler "American Gods" ou qualquer dos livros dele, leia, acho que vc vai gostar :)

Vou procurar estes autores... tem algum autor Paraense atual que seria legal/interessante ler?

Bom, tem vários... Um dos mais produtivos e conhecidos na região é o Salomão Laredo, mas nunca li nada dele.. Em geral, as pessoas elogiam bastante. Tem o João Carlos Pereira, que é um cronista excelente - me parece que ele já tem livro com as crônicas dele reunidas, vou me informar melhor a respeito. Dos ainda vivos, os que leio mais são poetas. Tem o Max Martins, que embora eu não goste muito do trabalho dele em geral (talvez mais porque me lembra vestibular, já que alguns poemas dele aqui sao leitura obrigatória :) ), é considerado o maior poeta paraense vivo. O estilo dele é concretista, se não me engano. E tem o João de Jesus Paes Loureiro, que embora já tenha seus sessenta e poucos anos, tem um trabalho em poesia muito interessante e moderno - o último livro dele foi uma parceria com uma bailarina paraense, ele criou os poemas inspirado nas coreografias e publicou em um livro, junto com fotos dela. E tem o Paulo Plínio, que foi um poeta incrível (se não me engano, morreu faz pouco tempo), e ainda é considerado o melhor tradutor pra português dos poemas do Rilke.

Ah, me lembrei de vc: acabaram de lançar aqui, acho que o mais recente livro da Margaret Atwood, "Oryx e Crake", achei a resenha interessante, vc já leu? :)
