My House Looks So Barren!!

My House Looks So Barren!!

Except, of course, for the huge piles of boxes everywhere. Man-oh-man, packing sure takes way more time than it’s worth.

Well, maybe not. It does force you to examine your life, especially if you’ve reached that stage where you’ve been in one place for a while and your friends aren’t going to help you move. When you’ve hired movers and you’re paying by the pound, you tend to become more circumspect about your possessions. More introspective about your motives (This toothbrush is the grossest thing I’ve ever seen! Why the hell did I keep it????) and more thoughtful about your future life (Will I honestly ever have a use for three gyroscopes? Ever?). You are reminded of your old life – Oh, here’s the letter I kept because I felt so guilty for dumping the guy who wrote it, and one day the world will >need< to know why Spanish nurses like beer with chocolate sauce! – and also reminded of why your current one sucks way less – Here’s all the (ahem, kaff! kaff!) “sales” awards from that old corporate kiss-ass lifestyle!

Yeah, it takes longer than just sweeping everything off the shelves into a box without worrying about whether or not something’s breakable, but it has tons o’ intangible rewards. Woohoo!

IDiots. I Love It.

http://home.comcast.net/~fsteiger/theory.htm first link I found when I googled “scientific definition of theory”.

http://abstractfactory.blogspot.com/2005/10/ only-debate-on-intelligent-design-that.html link hubby forwarded to me – amusing, and with a number of other links that can keep you busily fuming for quite some time.

New Scientist has been providing some good reading about the subject, too. Here’s a fun fact: http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn8178

And the National Academy of Sciences has a nicely presented piece-by-piece dissection of the scientific evidence that supports evolution theory and the arguments made counter to it by “creation science” here: http://books.nap.edu/html/creationism/introduction.html

Have fun, people. And pray that the creationists see the light. Heh.

Just to play some mind games,

Just to play some mind games,

I promise that on this site, there will be no talk of lolitas, Nabokov’s or otherwise.  Nor will you find any references to lonely housewives.  I will not mention discount medications, pharmaceuticals, or pills, and especially not specific ones like Viagra, Cialis, or even the little blue pill.  You will see nothing seductive, titillating, hot, or stimulating.  Oh, and definitely nothing kinky.  Eww.  No porn of any kind – no S&M, no bondage, not even panties or stiletto heels.  Don’t expect to find anything dirty, nasty, anything like that.  It won’t be here, so don’t bother. 

On the other hand, after we’re settled, I might get to work on the praying mantis costume.
