See, I don't know, the idea that this is all there is, that there's no afterlife or higher purpose to it all...that doesn't bother me. I find it kind of satisfying in a way I can't really articulate.
Yeah, for the ethical laws, I was always taught "This is good, therefore G-d said to do it," not "G-d said to do this, therefore it is good."
That's a lovely way of putting it, Hil.

Oh, and DH and I have a babysitter tomorrow, so....
What looks good in movies these days? I'd like to see
Bride and Prejudice,
but our last two movie selections were All About Me (
National Treasure
and
Vanity Fair),
so I want to at least see if there's something that'd be equally exciting for both of us. Of course, we had identical reactions to the last two movies (NT=goofy and stupid but completely fun! VF=well, that was certainly interesting, but meh), so it's not like going to movies I'm interested in has been so terrible for us, but still.

But if I'm a Buddhist, like Meatballs "It just doesn't matter."

Dude. Just the mix? Nothing to go with that would make it, well, cakey?
That is kind of desperate, Brenda. Not that I'm judging.

Sideways, Million Dollar Baby, or Constantine would get my votes. A friend dragged me to Phantom the other night, which was terribly overwrought and cheesy, but lots of fun anyway. Angst! Chandeliers! Cleavage!
Well, mixed, of course. Not the powder. But I made cupcakes last night for my dad and had some leftovers.
