jillmdb...@gmail.com (Jill) — Sun, 17 Dec 2006 21:16:23 UT

Hello everyone, and welcome to the word of the week! I hope that this
week's word does not describe you as we head into the joyful time of
presents and candy canes (oh, yeah, and the birth of Saviors and
whatnot). You'll probably be seeing quite a lot of people as the
holiday festivities begin, so I expect that you will use this word even

[Jill's Life Updates and Random Thoughts] No Blogging Allowed

jillmdb...@gmail.com (Jill) — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 14:50:22 UT

Hey folks. I know this is going to be painful to you, but I won't be
blogging for the next week or two. I have to send my computer out to
get fixed (because it's stupid) and I really want to focus on importing
this blog to my new blog site and getting my website set up for my
podcast. But fear not! You have our music contest to keep you busy

Howdy, all! In honor of the recent onset of very, very cold weather
here in New England, I have decided to bring back an old word of the
week for your reading pleasure this week. Remember to use it as much as
is humanly possible in your everyday conversations! Here it is: fond of
winter, or of coldEx: Because the man was not cheimaphilic, he departed

[Jill's Life Updates and Random Thoughts] (not) Boring Christmas Music

jillmdb...@gmail.com (Jill) — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 01:54:40 UT

Yes, I know the feeling very well. All you want to do is go to the
grocery store. Or the bank. Or the doctor. But no matter where you go,
you cannot escape the Christmas carols that make you want to pull your
hair out and throw all the ornaments in the fire. Christmas music is
annoying. This is why I have set out to find you the best, most

Hey everyone, and welcome to the word of the week! In spite of the dark
nature of this week's word, I hope you manage to use it as much as is
humanly possible in your everyday conversations. Here it is: requiring
expiation; very bad, sinfulEx: We knew the cat was piacular when we saw
the feral gleam in her eyes.And now, for this week's random

[Jill's Life Updates and Random Thoughts] Christianese and Creativity

jillmdb...@gmail.com (Jill) — Sat, 02 Dec 2006 01:12:23 UT

Here is yet another transcription of one of Derek Webb's podcasts (you
can find the first one here). This one comes from Derek Webb's
Podcast #3, which I'm going to break up into 2 or 3 parts, because it's
really long. Please take the time to read this; he says some really
excellent stuff that both Christians and non-Christians should think

[Jill's Life Updates and Random Thoughts] Get Ready (Hot Machete)!

jillmdb...@gmail.com (Jill) — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 16:51:25 UT

Do I know what a hot machete is? Nope. Do I love this song? Yep. Will
it make you want to dance? If you have at least one rhythmic bone in
your body, then yes.For those of you who think dancing is immoral, you
might want to close your eyes and just listen to the music. Oh, just
kidding, they also sing about dancing. I guess you'll have to close

[Jill's Life Updates and Random Thoughts] Jonezetta

jillmdb...@gmail.com (Jill) — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 18:49:35 UT

For the first week that I had Jonezetta's debut album Popularity, I
could not stop listening to it. Honestly, I listened to this album to
the exclusion of all other music. It's hard to pinpoint one thing that
makes this album so addicting. Popularity combines 11 brilliant indie
rock songs that leave you with an overwhelming urge to dance. The

[Jill's Life Updates and Random Thoughts] Please Help Me! (with WordPress)

jillmdb...@gmail.com (Jill) — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 14:16:03 UT

So I've been trying to use WordPress to set up my new website for my
podcast, but I am so confused. All I want to do is be able to edit my
template. Is that really so much to ask? No, but no matter what I do,
they continue to tell me that my template is "uneditable". Surely there
is someone out there who knows how to manipulate WordPress. If that is
