Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If I only had a brain...

In a lot of places he's like it's either A or B, and I'm thinking what about C, D, and E that he didn't mention.

Yip. For instance, "Lunatic, Liar, or Lord" doesn't consider the cases that he was a wise man who was insane on one subject but perfectly rational otherwise, or that he was a wise man whose sayings were heavily edited by his followers.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

It is betray by body day. Glucose levels are higher than I am comfortable. and today - i have a med tech come look at me for insurance purposes. and my bp was very, very high. Like - there is no way my doctor would ignore it if it was that high. so where did this monsterous number come from?

happily - my idea of comfort food has moved to the fruit and chese as oppsed to the twinkie side of life.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

The so-called trilemma, "Lunatic, Liar, or Lord"? doesn't hold up to logical examination.

The FAC was very big on Lord, Liar, Lunatic? as a means of proving that Jesus was, in fact, who he claimed to be. It always seemed logical to me, BUT I admit that, in the time since I left the FAC, I've never sat down to look at its logic or lack thereof.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Hmm. I like Mere Christianity, but it's been years since I've read it, so I can't really speak to how well the arguments would hang together for me now, post-major-faith-crisis. Screwtape Letters is my most frequently re-read Lewis, even beating out Narnia. Oh, and some of the essays. I like "The Weight of Glory" and "Learning in War-Time."

Yup. Screwtape is full of genuine humility, and it always reminds me of my sins.

Mostly lurking...

I feel like vw!

Yay! It's a good day.

Or actually, not really, but I'm just crabby. I need chocolate. And I have none. I may need to remedy that. Maybe some ice cream with chocolate sauce or some hot chocolate....or both...

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Approved for what?

Oh just, you know, in general.

Nah, I got a loan to consolidate my credit cards. Not a fantabulous loan or anything, since I don't have anything to secure it with, but I can dance on my credit cards graves all the same.

Always good. Sadly, I have at times needed to put prescriptions on my credit cards, so I can't dance on them yet.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Well, I'll have to have one card hidden away in case my car dies or something, but in the event of use (which should be never) it will be paid off every month.

It's silly, really, because it's not like the money I owe has magically flown away. It just feels more workable now.

Ok, Salon.com's commercial for site access today is some sex manual "Sextasy." Um, thanks, but as person with a job I guess I'll be passing on Salon today.
