I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Pat Robertson Not Down With Yoga

Wednesday's "700 Club" featured a question about the Christian view of yoga. A concerned viewer asked, "Does it really have its origins in evil?" Pat Robertson gave the verdict: Yes! According to Pat, stretching is fine, but by repeating common yoga mantras, you are actually praying to Hindu gods Vishnu and Krishna and you're not even aware of it!

But! The yoga postures themselves are body mantras. So even the "stretching" is a "prayer."

Thrive to spite them

I'm not surprised by that, some woman has redone yoga and called it Praise Moves. [link]

Punishingly Intricate

Pat Robertson Not Down With Yoga

Oh! my friend's niece's stepmom thinks yoga is evil! (Niece, who is like 11, was talking about it because my friend is a yoga instructor and she'd also done some at school and her stepmom FREAKED.)

I just think that the crow pose is evil. that illusive bastard.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The free lunch here today was Indian food, including paneer.

My food is squeaking at me, AIFG!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Mmmmm, paneer. I'm going into a happy food coma just thinking about it.

I suppose I could have...um...ramen and tofu, or cereal, or maybe some Annie's mac'n'cheese. I think I'd rather sit around and think about Lee's paneer.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am trying to limit myself to lunch out 1 day/week at work - today was left over mac and cheese and orange and a english muffin. I think I need a salad for dinner.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'm finishing up my turkey leftovers, which are quite tasty. Since I got so sick on Saturday, my diet's become incredibly high-fat. Must. Change. (After the mashed potatoes are gone.)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I'm eating leftover pasta from last night's dinner. It's sort of an odd combo--whole wheat pasta with a sauce, if you can call it that, of prosciutto, garlic, red pepper flakes, and bread crumbs sauteed in a mix of butter and olive oil. It's salty and yummy in a can't decide whether it's good for you or bad for you way.
