Feb. 15th, 2004 12:11 pmMs Tao, I have your white bread hostage.
Last night was enjoyable. We cooked Peruvian food for our Platinum Chef's gathering. In light of the fact that we seem to have problems remembering the schedule, I'm debating building a website for the group.
Today, I'm in a weird mood. I'm feeling both motivated and unmotivated. I'm in danger of achieving a state of motivational inertia. And yes, kids. Between motivation and unmotivation, there's LiveJournal! Whee!
I shall endeavor to fight it.

Feb. 15th, 2004 06:27 pmOkay...today hasn't been totally unproductive. I did manage to:
-sweep some floors
-do some laundry
-clean the litterbox
-get some veggies and fruits at the store
-get some reading and research done
-sleep in and goof off.
-attend to sundry administrative tasks, including installing Turbotax.
I see a lot of folks griping about Valentine's Day. I preferred to ignore it entirely. If I had someone I cared about, I would probably have planned some great fun indoors. However, I don't, so I don't bother. Now the rest of you single and none-too-pleased-about-it folks seem content to drive a bit of a bitter stake through your hearts by fretting about it.
But of course, since I saw many friends kvetching about being single on "Single Awareness Day", it made it that much harder for me to ignore it, so thanks-a-fucking-lot!
Other than that, life is good. Life is always good to me, but never good enough.

Homosexuality, Marriage, Oh My!
Feb. 15th, 2004 08:44 pmThis whole debate about religion, marriage, and homosexuality really makes me wish I was versed in transcribing historical records.
First of all, instinctually, it does not seem wrong to me for two people who love each other romatically to be allowed to be married. I don't see where the harm lies.
Marriage is as sacred as the two people want it to be. No more, no less.
Apparently a section in the Bible that says homosexuality is wrong is Corinthians 9-11. I pick up my King James version and it says:
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters;for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to kep company, if any man this is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
So how did "homosexuals" get in someone else's translation? And furthermore, if there's so much poetic license in biblical interpretation, how can they be a valid set of rules?

Retro-Buffy
Feb. 15th, 2004 10:15 pmI missed most of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer shows. Now I'm starting from the beginning.
I'm on episode 7, "Angel". It's kind of a big faux pas to be caught about to suck the neck of your prospective girlfriend's mother's neck.
