Yet I've already slept for 3 hours this afternoon and am therefore not actually sleepy. Maybe I should lounge on the couch and watch tivo?

I keep feeling weirdly dehydrated and yet I've had more water than I normally drink. I wonder if tomorrow, while I'm fieldtripping, if I can arrange to pass out on Olvera Street (where we are going for Cinco de Mayo) hit my head on a curb and yet workers comp?

Theists argue an omnibenevolent God has to give humans free will. The theological argument is that creation springs from love, and that love seeks love, not robot-like obedience. Since people have free will, they can use it to in effect, shut God out. In that sort of framework, evil is not a substance on its own, but is defined as the privation of good

Hmm - however free our will is, our ability to act on that will definitely limited. Given that I have trouble believing that the particular ratio of ability to do good to the ability to do evil is the optimum one a benevolent all powerful all wise being could have chosen.

In short, my diffulties in believing in all-powerful invisible beings aside, I tend to feel that the rule is: all-powerful, all-knowing, perfectly good - pick two. Cause the three together do not compute.

OK - going away now for another 24 hours or so.

Kat--I think we have the same ooge. I woke up this morning with my head pounding. Left work a couple of hours early.

Oh Robin! I hope I didn't give you the ooge!

I felt pretty carpy [sic] yesterday. now I'm just a little fishlike and a lot restless.

In other news, my mom sent pictures of their refinished kitchen and it is AWESOME looking. Which probably doesn't mean much, but that kitchen was like 70's unglam, with yellow wall paper with giant and ugly flowers.

Apparently they knocked out part of a wall for a more open plan. Flagstone floor, new countertops. It's great. But her 70s stoneware cannisters that I grew up with (sugar, flower, coffee and cookies) look out of place.

There's always the gnostic heresy which makes a lot of practical sense, though it's all heretical like.

The main theory being that the powerful being who thinks he/she is God is actually just a little god with enough omni-power to make a universe. And this little god fucked up and that's why the world is all evil.

Sigh. I had something to contribute to the conversation (might have been about faith, might have been about shopping), but then I looked down and noticed a lake of milk in my belly button, and by the time I'd mopped it up, the thought was gone.

Kat, hanging out with you is TOTALLY worth any kind of ooge! And, anyway, pretty sure I caught it from someone at work.

You need to train that baby to clean up after herself a little better. She's what, weeks old by now?

Almost three weeks. Sadly, it was the pressure of my typing arm across my chest that sprung the massive leak, so I can't pin the blame on the baby.

I can't pin the blame on the baby.

Dude, that's what children are FOR. Are you sure you went to the classes?
