I'VE BEEN A LITTLE SICK LATELY AND OVERWORKED

so please don't give up on this blog! I just haven't been able to post lately, and my email is backing up too. But in about two weeks or so hopefully I'll be more active here.

SOREN KIERKEGAARD

quoted by Kathleen Norris in her Acedia and Me:

"I must never, at any moment, presume to say that there is no way out for God because I cannot see any. For it is despair and presumption to confuse one's pittance of imagination with the possibility over which God disposes."

Exactly. One hears people argue against the possibility of heaven by saying that every attempt even to imagine utopia results in something absurd or deeply boring. They conclude that evil is and always shall be inherently necessary and unavoidable in reality. The failure of imagination in this regard, however, is only a product of its fallen state in this world. We can not honestly show that heaven is impossible simply because we cannot imagine how it would work.

NEW BLOG

I want to announce a new blog of mine: Roxy Katt: Longpost Blogging.

I realize that brevity is the soul of blog. Consequently, I have never been one to post long posts at the blog you are now looking at. I know that I don't actually read long posts myself that much, especially if they are by someone I don't know or whose work I am not familiar with. So I have deliberately kept most of my writings here short.

But every once in a while I get an idea I think needs a little more development. And I want to be free to post accordingly without detracting from the quick flow of this site. Consequently, I have started the new blog site for those occasional posts that require more space.

Don't worry that you'll have one more thing to check on the net. Whenever I post at Roxy Katt: Longpost Blogging I will post a quick notice of it here as well.

MY LATEST STORY IS OUT

It's in The Mammoth Book of Erotic Confessions, edited by Barbara Cardy and published by Constable and Robinson. I've got a copy of it now and it looks marvellous. 582 pages of erotic confessions by people around the world!

JOAN HOLLOWAY . . .

. . . whose image I post here for the simple reason that I simply love
the no-nonsense tight business skirt look. I understand this is from a TV show called Madmen, which I have not seen and about which I know nothing.

THE MYTH OF THE GOOD WAR by Jacques Pauwels

Just finished Jacques R. Pauwels' The Myth of the Good War: an excellent read. It's all about America's real reasons for getting into WWII, and they aren't pretty. Some of the things the book talks about are the American power elite's sympathy for fascism, American corporations making big money in Nazi Germany manufacturing weapons for Hitler, and the largely American inspired division of Germany into two at the end of the war-- and there's lots more. Highly recommended. Tired of the "Greatest Generation" bullshit? Try this. Pauwels is a good writer. He also says in his forward that "the pages that follow do not offer any dramatic revelations or hitherto unknown facts." This is no "conspiracy theorist" in the pejorative sense of that loaded term. Pauwels simply shines a light on things that have been willfully overlooked or dishonestly interpreted for decades.

ROXY KATT'S EROTIC ARTISTS SERIES -- TED VALKENBURG

Not to put too fine a point on it, this lovely red Catwoman is simply adorable. I think Ted Valkenburg, the artist, paints some of the sexiest pictures I have ever seen.

There is much to be said for unashamedly large bottoms -- especially when they are tightly girdled in form-fitting red rubber. This lady is not afraid to flaunt her stuff!

Don't you just want to sneak up behind and give her a good smack? Wait until she's finished with her pencil, however, because you don't want her to get poked in the eye!
