Interesting essays about the difference between “truth” and “the truth”. I’d never considered the biology or math behind our ideas of truth like this piece does (scroll down a bit), but have spent a lot of time pondering it along these lines. I think any attempt to find “the truth” in the realm of human relationship is a failed one, and often a miserable process. But if I tell my truth in love and you do the same, we have an opportunity, even if there is some pain involved, to move past the pain into understanding.

Well, no one guessed correctly about my Ebay bids from 2 weeks ago, so I’ll spill the beans: I bid on the Bangles EP and a mint copy of Buckingham Nicks, and lost both bids. Fortunately, I’ve found the Bangles stuff on Napster, and there are several more Buckingham Nicks LPs open still. For those who aren’t familiar with this fine album (and I say that entirely w/o irony—I really like it), it’s the one Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham recorded before they joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975. A couple of the tracks made it on to later Mac albums, and they’re all good songs, although the production’s quite dated. So I’ll keep bidding and scouring records store until I find it…
Oh, and since no one picked my admittedly obscure choices, I award the mug to the first entrant: Liz Dow-tay, come on down! Your mug’s in the mail.
