'Soul Purpose'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I declare that conflating Jesus with Oscar Wilde is the most amusing conceit of 2007 to date.
Ugh. I'm tired from baby snuggling. You'd think that would be an easy task, but when you've got the baby in your arms in bed for several hours it's not the most restful sleep. She's still so tiny, you can't just roll around like you would with a toddler. OTOH, she doesn't kick you in the kidneys like a toddler.
I only got the brief account, tommy, so I'm not sure how it went down. Update at 11! I know he pulled his (whistle-clean) driving record and make sure to take a shower and changed his shirt after the baby snotted all over it...

Also, haven`t some Buffistas had weird experiences with Ambien? Because there are new warnings out about it: [link]
The review was prompted, in part, by queries to the agency from The New York Times last year, after some users of the most widely prescribed drug, Ambien, started complaining online and to their doctors about unusual reactions ranging from fairly benign sleepwalking episodes to hallucinations, violent outbursts, nocturnal binge eating and — most troubling of all — driving while asleep.
Daily Mail article on Angelina's latest adoption. I'm charmed by the mention of Maddox trying to comfort his newest brother. Not sure what you say in a situation like that (ignoring the language barrier for now) other than "It's okay. Mom does this all the time. At least you're big enough to play with, unlike the last one. No idea which country they got her from."
I seem to have outgrown Ambien weirdness. Either that, or my friend's lying to me. But I have been successfully not merely awake but out and conducting conversations and business transactions. When compared to some of the strage postings I'd make under the influence, it's quite a big jump.

I knew it!
I had never heard of Akhnaten before and what I read just fascinated me.
Pharaoh right before Tutankhamon (maybe one between), husband of Nefertiti. For all that he looks pretty weird in his neo-realistic portraits and sculptures, he had one damned hotty of a wife. Also, the father of Tutankhamon's wife.

Oh, hey, happy Ides of March.

I'm sorry, I'm going to hell, but I can't help snorfling.

This is not news -- well, I can't speak for Nebraska. But cats first invaded our house years ago. And conquered it shortly thereafter.
From what I've read, there's some scholarly support that Judaism became monotheistic (ie, became Judaism rather than generic tribal religion attached to teh people of Abraham) in Egypt wiht at least sonme influence form Akhenaton. Moses=Akhenaton is a new one on me, though. That would cast a whole different meaning on his conversations with Pharoah. Not to mention the heart hardening. And drowning.
Akhenaten=Amenhotep IV (or one of the Amenhoteps, anyway), yes?
