Nonian, i learned it the way you understand it (I am, etc...no other gods = Commandment #1) in CCD. However, the cantor told us that the first part is the first commandment and the "You shall have no other gods" part is the 2nd commandment. It was weird to me, but he was quite specific. Why we have these different readings of the text, I don't know.

Trust my rage
-t, it seems weird, but you are probably right. I considered looking it up again, but don't have the energy.
BTW, how's the baby coming along?

Ann, that's a ferret.

shrift worships porn. All hail the porn.
It occurs to me that to really get the most sin in, I ought to erect some shrines.
btw, shrift, how're you set for T.Rex?
Oh, I think I've got Room For More.
And now I'm realizing how terrible it is that I've got 962 songs loaded on my work iTunes and very few of them are glam. I ought to rectify that.

It's a fetus today! Woo-hoo!
Not that I can tell. At this point I just feel fat and tired and a little queasy. And hungry. I've already had three meals (it's 1pm for me) and I'm ready to eat again.
How's your dog-walking soreness? Better, I hope.

Emily, can you do rip it, burn it to a new cd, and then rip that?
This is from last night, so I'm sure nobody remembers or cares, but I thought I'd just update to clarify. I did try this, it being the recommended way to get around this kind of protection (even though it reduces quality), but the protection prohibits me from burning the songs. Isn't that freaking fantastic? I have one avenue left to try, but unfortunately this means getting together with Jen -- something I've been trying to do for its own sake for several months without success.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It's a fetus today!

I somehow missed this news.
WOO-HOOOO!!!!!

Em, if nothing else, I'd write a letter complaining to whoever the benefit group is. Can't hurt.

"Erect" being the operative word.

Duly noted.
