Mmm, sweet post-keytar-solo residue in a fashionable spray bottle
Announcing a new product from Oddwalk Ministries:
Keytar Mystique: the fragrance.
What the critics are saying:
Hair spray. Sweat. "Like someone throwing up and sneezing at the same time."
Better than any of those crappy Britney Spears perfumes.
Available at the finest department stores. At present, none are fine enough to meet our high standards.
Justin Timberlake, you may not buy any. Ever. Go away.
[You know you wish this was real.]

Hint: he's wearing a burgandy shirt
So, Orin's image finally made it on to the Aquinas Institute of Theology website. While not the focus of the image, he's at least glad that there is some visual record of his ever being there.
Can you find him?
Here's the original page.
Here's our post from a long time ago when Orin's wife made the website. Not that he's bitter or anything.

Me [Erin, the Mommy]: Hiding from who?
Madeleine: From you!
Madeleine: From you!

Another (Disgusting) Keytar Sighting
Apparently because Oddwalk stole from Justin Timberlake the little hand-motion move we do for the phrase "move into my heart" on "For All Time", he felt it necessary to steal from Oddwalk the whole keytar-mystique thing.
[or watch it here]
That's right, we said "keytar mystique."
I'm sure he'll be stealing our words soon too. Well, stop it Justin. It's obvious from your pathetic keytar exhibition that you did not grow up in the 80's. It's doubtful that you'll ever fully understand the glories of the Roland AX-7 that you're completely wasting on stage — a keytar should never be used a prop!
You disgust us.
Therefore, Oddwalk proudly today trademarks the phrase.
"Keytar Mystique"™
So there.

An interesting "Lenten Penance" - Becoming a bag lady
Oddwalk's friend - and Orin's cow-orker at the Shine - Erin Simmons
(that's right another Erin, just for confusion's sake)
Anyway, she has taken up an interesting "Lenten Penance" — read her words:
For the 40 days of preparation before Holy Week, I am giving up packaged goods. And by "giving up," I mean the following.
A) Avoid any packaged products. Whenever that's UNavoidable, buy the product with the least amount of packaging and/or recyclable packaging.
i) this will increase my familiarity with more earth-friendly products/companies/disctributors
ii) acts as deterrent to over-purchase
iii) will familiarize me with local goods (i.e. farmer's markets, local cooperatives)
B) Be accountable for whatever I do end up purchasing/wasting by CARRYING IT AROUND WITH ME IN A BAG.
i) this serves as incentive to purchase as few packaged goods as possible
ii) it serves as a conversation starter to any curious onlookers (e.g. evangelism, crazy earth-warrior speech)
EXCEPTION: I am NOT carrying around anything toxic, noxious, smelly or diseased. That means food, toilet paper, etc. are going where they belong...in the REAL trash. I'm just not that extreme and I do have limits on what I will give up. Along with that, I will contemplate what it means to live simply, to purchase responsibly, and to activate others to live more conscientiously. As you may know, I am the coordinator for my workplace's Earth Day celebrations so this may spark some more ideas, at least give me some experience at doing something visibly different. I'll be doing some research into how much garbage waste the average American produces.

They better have
From our friends Jason and Corinne's blog about adopting their new baby girl, Miriam, in China:
We Tipped the Maid Well
Poop report: her third was in the bathtub.
We get all sorts of visitors...
One of the ways our Oddblog SiteMeter helps us is (sometims) it can tell us how a visitor got to our site. A day or two ago, a visitor stopped by because of an interesting google search:

Not our usual fare, but it sounds *so* right...
VATICAN CITY, FEB. 28, 2007 (Zenit.org) - The Antichrist is the reduction of Christianity to an ideology, instead of a personal encounter with the Savior, says the cardinal directing the retreat which Benedict XVI is attending.Cardinal Giacomo Biffi, retired archbishop of Bologna, delivered that message during a meditation Tuesday, drawing on the work of Russian philosopher Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov.
