What a weird morning. Hub sends me 2 links:

In this one, a Wiccan is getting mad because the local city council (or whatever) that opens their meetings with a prayer won't let her offer an invokation because they don't think Wicca is a real religion. Now, admittedly they are wankers for thinking that. But she admits that she doesn't think they should be having prayers in the first place but is still wanting to give an invokation. Why? I though we didn't seek converts; it just smacks of show-boating. Plus she mangles the rede thus: "Do as ye will and ye harm none" and then goes on to say "It's a very specific rule, and it means there is no such thing as a bad or evil witch." Just like the Golden Rule assures us that there are no bad or evil Christians. Blar!

Then some nice-sounding dude in pagan had a revelation brought on by an apparently crazy woman. He shares with the community, and everyone jumps on his ass for mentioning the woman's religion (she was muttering about Jesus and being saved). He made it pretty clear that her religion wasn't the issue. One said basically because she was crazy, his personal revelation was meaningless; what a poo-head! It made a quote from Lex Luthor, of all people, spring to mind which I've posted: "Some people can read War and Peace and come away thinking it's a simple adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe." We'll see if it goes anywhere; things are pretty interesting over in pagan lately. There was a really good discussion about pagans and motherhood. Most people were being fairly grown-up about it, which is always nice to see.

Then I'm reading back issues of a comic one of my students turned me on to, and come across Lex Luthor again- this was like the second one I read today. So, what deep occult significance can I attribute to Lex Luthor? Hmmm. And come to think of it, this same student claims he wants his astral temple to be a hollowed-out volcano lair. This goes deep, people.

Spluh, I forgot the other link. Check out this stupid shit. A $10 million dollar bra. If anyone buys that (which, as I mentioned to hub, looks like something I could make with a glue gun and about $6 worth of fake jewels from Hobby Lobby) I personally believe they should be forced to wear it (and nothing else) and set loose in downtown very-large-crime-riddled-urban-area at night for the heinous crime of mind-numbing conspicuous consumption.

OK, this is just hysterical- I love this strip!

I am so freaking sick of this job. Don't mind me, I go through this periodically. But it's boring me to death, and I sit here and surf the 'net between calls, which is getting me in the habit of checking things 1,000 times a day, which is seriously becoming a problem at home. I think I have 'net addiction.

I also have sedentary fat ass disease. I've taken to running up to the second floor to go to the bathroom (which I do at least 5 times a day) so I will get some activity, for cryin' out loud. I noticed I am getting out of breath with the least exertion, and when I sit in this chair for hours at a time my knees are stiff and achey when I get out of it. I'm too damn young to be getting arthritis.

It doesn't help that all the co-workers that happen to sit around me seem to do nothing but talk to each other (including yelling across the room to each other) about cars and relatives and TV shows all bloody day long.

Man, I'm glad it's my Friday today.
