In lieu of actually blogging, which since my father moved in i somehow have less, not more time and energy for, i bring you this: Penn Jillette's mug on a box of Chinese "Viagra". This is traveling the internets, but i got it from The Flag and Banner ulldada Newsblog (an impeccable record of the dumb shit that happens daily), who got it from AdLand .

Ever since my depression started lifting, I've been on a mission to get back into shape. Because I had been sedentary for so long, I knew this wasn't going to be easy. To ensure that I wouldn't burn out quickly, I thought it wise to start off slowly with low-impact exercise. I took up yoga again, which proved to be highly therapeutic both mentally and physically. I also discovered that swimming was an ideal form of exercise. Not only does it get all of the major muscle groups working all at once, but it puts vigorous demands on the heart and lungs without putting any strain on the body! For someone like me plagued with leg pain exacerbated by exercise, it is a dream come true. Furthermore, I've found swimming to be surprisingly relaxing. I can't tell you how nice it is to get in the pool, completely surrounded by the blueness of the water, and think of absolutely nothing except how peaceful you are at that very moment. Underwater, all traces of my anxiety seem to disappear! With this renewed energy my passion for dancing magically returned. When I am not fun poker tretching to my heart's content, doing swimming laps, sweating on the elliptical machine or crunching in some abs exercises, I am happily belly dancing to infectious Arabic rhythms. Ultimately I want to get back in shape so that I can be the best belly dancer that I can possibly be. Ah, it feels so good to have found my long-lost passion again. It is as if I had been lost and found myself again.

Henry Luke Orombi is the Anglican Archbishop of Uganda - a thoughtful and creative man behind the spin that is sometimes placed upon him both in the local press and in the international Anglican press - not least in the misunderstandings which followed his decision to make Sandy Millar a Bishop. His recent article on The future of Anglicanism explores The Communion student debt help rom his Ugandan perspective and is therefore worth reading - it offers to Anglicans of the North some insight into how the faith had been integrated in the cultures of the great country of Uganda. Read it here - not in the expectation that we might agreed with everything but to develop our awareness of the issues which face Anglican leaders of the South.
