Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

I reviewed the Manga Bible already, but I have to hold onto the review for a little while longer because they asked no reviews be released before the release date.

The whole samurai shick is about the style, the approach of the character Jesus in this adaptation. Not that he whips out any katanas and goes all badass.

I thought of it as only an average adaptation. On the upside, it does spend a decent amount of time adapting the Acts of the Apostles and discusses the Letters, books that are usually overlooked. But it's adaptation of the Old Testament lacks context and hits too many things too briefly. Israeli and the Jews go from being the favored people and nation, to being punished by God, back to being favored again, all in the span of 4-5 pages. This goes on for @30-40 pages. While accurate to the later sections of the Old Testament, as an adaptation it fails to engage the reader.

I would watch Rockstar Curling.

I am also primary-ing today. I have to figure out if I can vote in the building I'm in all day, or if I have to drive out to my district voting area to vote.

Punishingly Intricate

Happy Birthdays, Kristin & Maria!!!

Hey, lisah! When you come around, who is your dentist? (Maybe I'll get lucky and they are on my plan. I hate throwing darts at a wall to find a damned provider.)

I've been going to Dr. Weiner (& Klupt) up in Pikesville for several years now and I really like them but they actually don't take any insurance at all. They've always submitted a claim for me and then I get the money back from my insurance co. I think I'm going to have to change too and go to somebody who actually accepts my insurance. But I don't know who. I've been avoiding. My insurance co. website actually lists Weiner & Klupt as providers but it's a lie. So annoying.

I was hoping the Harrier would win, but the beagle was cute.

Oh hey, Obama was outside my polling place as I waited for my ballot this morning. People went tearing outside but I figured I was doing more good by voting than gawking. Besides, the line got much shorter all of a sudden!

Good luck to all the voters today, whomever you support.

not your mom's socks.

I think I'm going to have to change too and go to somebody who actually accepts my insurance. But I don't know who.

Lisah - we went to Padonia Dental in... (surprise) Padonia. They're good, organized, and I think they take every kind of insurance.
