Stringybark and Greenhide, Reloaded

“Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.”
(1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

I forget this, sometimes. My only new year’s resolution for 2012 is to remember.

“I refuse to walk away because it’s difficult. I refuse to close my heart because it hurts. And I refuse to give up until it’s over. I will remind myself of this as often as I need to.”

Holiday’s over. Time to get to work.

“We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.”

“Not that the good guys are much better. Their leader, Churchill, appeared in a grand total of one episode before, where he was a bumbling general who suffered an embarrassing defeat to the Ottomans of all people in the Battle of Gallipoli. Now, all of a sudden, he’s not only Prime Minister, he’s not only a brilliant military commander, he’s not only the greatest orator of the twentieth century who can convince the British to keep going against all odds, he’s also a natural wit who is able to pull out hilarious one-liners practically on demand. I know he’s supposed to be the hero, but it’s not realistic unless you keep the guy at least vaguely human.”

I’ve just discovered the Journalpress plugin for WordPress, and plugged it into Stringybark and Greenhide, so it will mirror everything to S&B, Reloaded from now on.

So if there’s a sudden glut of imported posts clogging your reading page, well, now you know.

“No. This is not your fault. Out of all the dozens of FUBAR missions we’ve had, ironically, this is the one that’s not your fault. We were betrayed. There was nothing you could do.”
