So... Cold...

wolven7KMFDM - [Real Thing]--- It's 52 degrees, inside the house. We're pretty sure the pilot lights are out, in both heaters, with the necessary condition that relighting them will result in our immediate and firey deaths. I am wearing a black fedora, and a black button-up shirt (open), over a shirt that reads "I Like My Coffee Black, Just Like My Metal."
I have a hardwood floor, and a fireplace. I do not have an axe, and there is a television in front of said giver of warmth.
I was born in a city built on a swamp, in the middle of July, and I know that there are many people, in the world, worse off than I. I simply wanted to inform you why I hate them, today, as much as I hate all of you. *kiss*
In other news, Kenny Smith gave a talk, this afternoon, about religious tolerance, without the necessity of pluralism, which was quite informative, and entertaining. (Hindu Love Gods - [Junko Partner]). There were three people, there, besides myself, from the Theory and Method In the Study of Comparative Religion class. Four, if you count Dr Herman. It was like a mini reunion. ^_^ The talk was well-attended, and well-received, and I feel good for Kenny, for it. He seemed to be enjoying himself, up there, and not too nervous, and he responded to questions well, on all fronts.
Venetian Snares - [Szamar Madar]--- I had very fucked up dreams, last night, and I don't remember what they were, anymore. Something about architecture, Baroque and Greek. Lots of white and a little less gold. Marble, everywhere.
Finally, as it relates to the talk Kenny gave, Wal-Mart is selling books on Wicca, now. Now, don't get me wrong, I hold no special love, in my heart for Wicca, nor the practicioners thereof, as a rule. I say that if you're going to like or dislike a person, or a set of spiritual or religious practices, you should do so on the qualities displayed by the thing itself, as well as the context in which you find it. But I digress. My point is that WAl-Mart aren't being bigotted assholes, anymore, regarding the sale of non-Christian religious materials. Granted this move was likely monetarily-driven, but it's something. There may be hope for the drooling proletariat, yet. See for yourself.
Veruca Salt - [Shutterbug]--- Man I'm angry, tonight.
I'm going to go try and get some reading done.

And yes, I know. And they don't even want to do it, to teach anyone anything. They're just greedy. But i guess someone has to be.
