friday

last day at nordstrom
elizabeth and i went shopping in downtown. we said we wouldn't a) eat out, b) drink and c) eat ice cream. guess what we did? that's right. so much for sticking to plan.

talked to kelly and had a good conversation the delved back into our christian pasts. very interesting.

it's mona's birthday today... well, the yesterday the 6th. happy birthday, mona.

watched the end of sex and the city. how sad is that i actually felt like an era ended. ida know, kinda like when friends ended. geebus, i gotta stop watching tv.

i start my new job monday. so i feel a little guilty, but i'm excited about this job. i will learn skills i'm excited about developing: project management is something i can transfer into every thing i do.

science fiction is something i've always loved. is it okay to want to produce scifi? what if i don't feel comfortable with the life of an actor? not that i hate being an actor, but being broke is so last year.

and walking around nordstrom, nordstrom rack (imagine neiman marcus last call), macy's, restoration hardware, pottery barn, etc, et al, ad nauseum, reminded me that i frekkin' want nice things. where the fuck did that come from? i mean, i want to get my permaculture certification, for chrissake! how do i reconcile that with wanting a leather couch? huh???

Everybody is talking about the Jesus these days...

geebus is on the minds of many these days, yes. i'm so sick of the right and attempting to use their mythology in telling me what is right and what is wrong. the microsoft scandal (pulling support for gay rights in washington).

kel gave me "the years of rice and salt" to read. have you read it?

Wheee... Late reply. You should install the recent comments hack: http://bloggerhacks.blogspot.com/

Haven't heard of that book but the blurb I just peeked at looks interesting.

The Battle for God by Karen Armstrong is good: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0345391691/
