nothing adventurous please
4. The manager for Stryper once prayed for me over the phone. It was so awesome. Definitely one of the most moving interview moments yet. She asked me if it was OK if she just started praying for me, and I was like, Let It Rock. She busted out a passionate, heartfelt plea to the Lord on my behalf, and it was so real and so forceful I actually felt something happen in my heart. Something got warm and light inside me. I had never talked to her about my love life, but she told me, Kate, there is a dark figure standing next to you, smothering your little light and trying to smother you. Dear Lord, protect beautiful Kate and let her light shine into the world. She has an important gift to bring to the world!
Kate Sullivan runs down the love advice she's gotten from rock stars.
Is randomWalks hibernating? Should we delete randomWalks and make flux randomWalks? Should we turn our clothes inside-out? Because the failure of randomWalks is owned by each and all of us. Let's make love to the failure. Help each other rip down our Ministries of the Interior. Read Rilke out loud to each other in the nude. Learn to homebrew. Make giant paper-mache skulls and wear them while stabbing each other in the snowy parks with Nerf Fencing epees. Write collaborative poems again and make newspaper hats. Where's the bridge? Has anyone seen the bridge?
Comments
It would be nice if more people would enable comments, and then, you know, actually comment in the posts. And then, going to radical extremes, respond to comments from others, almost as if we were actually having a *gasp* discussion. That might get people involved again. Another suggestion: resurrect xowie.

File this under "navel gazing." I love the new, leaner rW. I'm all for quality over quantity.

lionindex, you're crazy!
I have to admit I haven't posted anything to rW proper in, like, a long time. I don't post much to zagg these days either.
Also, I don't click on most of the stuff linked in rW anymore.

Wherefore art thou randomWalks? Deny thy blogger and refuse thy domain!

Of course it's navel-gazing. But I need something besides Romenesko to click on when I'm at work and procrastinating, and I can't depend on rW anymore. It's frustrating.

more flux posts need open comments.

I guess that's the difference. I have too much to click on, by far, and I appreciate the sparsity of rW front page posts, because I feel like only the best of the best inspire the editors to post (Gwen's 101 Magyar ads is a great example).

I'm sure I could find things to read elsewhere, but not stuff posted by people I know, which is what makes randomWalks interesting to me. Even if I don't follow the links, I like knowing what everyone is interested in (though not so much in computer-related stuff that's over my head).
