Mar. 26th, 2010 11:00 pmIn the audience for Oscars. Neil Gaiman’s perspective .
Around six in the evening my little neighbor convinced my Mom to come up upstairs to see if I wanted to play outside with them again. Considering I was sitting on my butt all day and wasn’t doing anything important, I figured I might as well. She and her little brother wanted to play jump rope again. We were joined by a teenage girl, who is a bit slow mentally, but who really came a long way since last saw her a few years ago. So the four of us played outside for a bit and it was good to just get out of the home and play with them. It was a bit cold and my hands were freezing after a while but it was fun to pretend to be a kid. Although it is much harder now to play jump rope as my feet get tired much more easily. It was definitely exercise now.
A few articles on cracked.com about the Bible prompted Bear and I to actually read the “Song of Solomon.” I pulled up the New International Version on Bible gateway website while Bear had his Bible in front of him, and then we read it out loud together on the phone – I read the girl part and he read the boy part. It was actually pretty interesting. There were very nice and dirty metaphors in there, and not even metaphors. And it was really romantic and lovely too in some of the poetry. We also discovered, as we were reading different translations, just how much the translation of the Bible and the prude nature of some translators affect the story.
