Some may notice that on the right hand side of this page in the ‘Links’ section there is a reference to my sister, Larissa’s, weblog – titled Talking to Myself. I just wanted to give her a bit more of a plug, but apart from that I would like to take this opportunity to comment on the name of her blog. I find that title interesting on two counts:

1. It implies she writes her entries for her own amusement and interest, but she seems to get more visitors than I do and many people read her site. Obviously the title is a lie, or at least, has become inaccurate.

2. I think a more interesting title would be ‘Talking to My Sock’.

That’s actually an in-joke; I misheard Larissa when she was telling me the name of the site the other day, but I think that ‘Talking to My Sock’ would be a very good name for a blog, even if it does conjure images of Sunday School puppets. I have a similar and also funny story about another mondegreen that happened last year, I think it was. I emailed with one of the developers of the ESV online, because I noticed a missing space between sentences in Luke 23:56. It turned out the problem was on another Bible site’s copy of the ESV online, but he did comment that “Ointments on the Sabbath” would be a cool name for a band. I was inclined to agree.

Incidentally, an article that Larissa wrote about Dan Brown books for the CASE journal is result number 6 when you Google for larissa johnson. We both thought that was pretty cool. Oh, and Tegan took the photo of Larissa that they used in the article. That’s cool too.
