external monologue

the baus man

as promised, i give you gregory baus (pronounced bous'). once known simply as greg baus (pronounced boss') in long passed covenant days, the name was recently lengthened and repronunciated (is that a word?) to give it a more mature and famous-theologian-sounding feel. at least, that's my theory. perhaps greg will chime in here before long.

i've known greg, er gregory, since 1996 when i met him at a christmas party, where i was fascinated by his handrolled drum cigarettes. being the youngster i was at the time i hardly felt i could keep up with his theological diatribes and invectives against covenant college. over the years however i've grown to appreciate his strongly held opinions and now, upon meeting, we generally keep up a lively dialogue of our own - anything from blogging to theology, the ridiculous to the sublime.

some links to learn more of old gregory:
- his current blog
- his old blog
- a painting of him
- his contributions to numerous yahoo groups
...enjoy.

in other news:
there's an interesting, and somewhat critical, article about the new show devoted to controversial photographer diane arbus beginning at NYU this week - "Arbus was the classic hunter-photographer shooting her fragile prey; her targets were rarefied specimens, exceptional cases; her mission was a clinical typology of difference. An element of violence was implicit."
