But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, Plei, I'm pretty sure you can still blame MILK PRODUCTION on the baby.

Feel better LAistas!!

That'll teach you to go being close to the earth with the life-bearing and all. On the plus side, now you embody The Mystery Of Life itself. Also, you're milky.

Coding and Sleeping

Basically I believe that any stories that people have made up about God/gods are just myth. I think that there could be more to our existence that the years that we have in our lives, but if that is the case there is no possible way to know what it is. The more I've been exposed to religion the less reason I see to think there is anything to it. I don't really like to argue the point, just because it seems to cause more pain than understanding, but that might just be my experience.

I'm not a fan of the "why is there evil in the world?" argument against the existence of God. I just don't see any reason to think there is a God in the first place, so making the leap to trying to understand the motivations of God is too much for me.
