Somebody please remind me that I have better things to do with my time tonight than argue with biblical literalists.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I was reminded on Ta-Nehisis Coates's blog today that reason #1 for rejecting a biblical argument against gay marriage is that polygamy and concubines and all the rest were A-OK in biblical times and communities. Argh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Took me 5 episodes to work out why the show is called "30 Rock." And to decide it's not for me. I don't like the supporting cast enough.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Today is never actually going to end, is it?
eta: But now I have FUN stuff to look at, at least.
ita, do you need me to do any research for more pictures?

Was that still true in New Testament time? The Leviticus prohibitions can be ignored because of all the other rules that are no longer enforced, but I'm not sure what the best counter to Paul's prohibitions are. Aside from Paul being a general all-around "I hate everyone who's not me" type.

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

Why? It's not for me enough that I've never made it that far.

People still quote them all the time, though! Even though Jesus said we didn't have to follow all the old laws anymore! (Opening the door for shrimp at office parties and the Reuben sandwich, among so many other things....) I have no need to follow Paul, so maybe I just ignore him.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Guh.
[edit: Guh was in response to Clooney, not shrimp. Although shrimps are delicious too. Just not Clooney levels of tasty.]

I have lobster! in my fridge! They are already dead, thank god.
I had a horrible moment when I realized that I was going to have to take them out of the box because I couldn't stick the whole thing in the freezer if my parents wanted them for supper tomorrow. Then I realized I could just take the frozen peas (how they get around the liquid restrictions on flights) out of the box, stick the box in the fridge and put the peas in the freezer. No lobster touching required.
