    "I pray every single second of my life; not on my knees but with my work. My prayer is to lift women to equality with men. Work and worship are one with me. I know there is no God of the universe made happy by my getting down on my knees and calling him 'great.'" -Susan B. Anthony

    Unsanitary ol’ love

    By Kate | November 23, 2007

    We went to see the film Stardust with my little cousins yesterday after our feast. At the dollar movies, the crowd only having paid $1.50 for their ticket instead of $8 or more, feels free to maintain a running commentary. Towards the end of Stardust the female protagonist, Claire Danes makes a speech about love. She assigns love a long list of adjectives by saying, “that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable…” My cousin Archer, who had been covering his eyes for all of the parts of the movie he considered romantically “gushy” muttered an addition to the un-list, “unsanitary.”

    Good ol’ unsanitary love. Archer is wise beyond his years.

      Yeah - - that’s why I boycott the dollar theaters. Audiences are rude enough when you’re paying $9. It only gets worse as the price goes down. But, I guess it’s all about priorities.

      How old is this kid? I didn’t realize how unsanitary love could be until at least my teens.

      He is 10 years old, a twin and a genius.
