Finding My Religion
The search for god or the absence thereof has plagued me for, well, a really long time. I was raised by two agnostics, two Catholics, and one Lutheran; I was educated Catholic and married Christian Reform. I forayed into Buddhism, Moralism, Wiccan, and the ever-vague Spiritualist theologies. I've kept part of my brain insistently atheist and another part looking for the lightning strike. Through it all, nothing has seemed certain. Until now. I am ready to declare my religion:
Pastafarian. I belong to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I worship at the noodly appendages of he who is yummy goodness and divine tastiness. The evidence for his ethereal existence surrounds us.
The FSM can be seen in the sky...
FSM can be seen represented in classical works of art...
There is even proof of the FSM's existence from ages past...
The FSM will even appear to the average joe in his or her meals...
That's right. Unlike many other deities, the FSM has no problem revealing himself to his followers. No turning to stone from seeing this god's face.
All hail his holy noodliness and his many appendages!

My Day Off
I read three books today. Mind you, they were three books in a children's series called the Underland Chronicles. But still. Three books from 8am to 5pm with a half hour break to talk to Grandma, and a one hour break to talk to my mother, and another one hour break to take an almost nap. Figure 30 minutes for incidentals: grabbing breakfast and lunch, using the restroom, stretching. So that is roughly 6 hours of reading, 973 pages, 2.7 pages a minute.
Wonderful. It has been too long since I've done this. If you check out my reading log, you will see that the month of August was a rather slow month for reading. Then again, I had a two week family reunion and the first two weeks of school to deal with. I'm still working up to writing a post about the family reunion. Too much, too fast. Suffice it to say that I love my family and wish they all lived here - perhaps not necessarily in my house, but here as in this state, this county.
The only downside to the day - I don't have the last book in the series. Very annoying.
