Beuty is becoming a stranger thanks to people like those kids on Commercial Drive? I really think you're being too hard on them! They seem kind of cute to me.
Yeah, I'm around. I don't comment too much, but I read.
Things is okay. Planning on doing two new bodypainting sets in the next week, which is keeping me busybusybusy. Also, m'comic is on its way to ressurection-by-means-of-collaborative effort, so that's a treat; got some new artwork back from the new artist today, and I am tickled by it.
Planning on buying some new socks today, too, so I'm pretty excited about that.
*grins* That it undoubtably neato-keen. Someone on the bus was telling me about that book this week. We were discussing how modern mythology never seems to know where it comes from and how that's a shame. I hope it's a good one.
Yeah, I was reading an article by Mr. Callahan here in Skeptic magazine, and it piqued my interest, so I e-mailed the editor of the magazine, asking him to forward a question for me to the author. Soon enough, e-mails back and forth abounded, as we discussed the origins of the snake symbolism in the book of Genesis, as pertains to cultural fusion between the ancient Hebrews and their contemporary neighbors, the Canaanites, and how the Hebrews seem to have co-opted some of the snake mythos of the Canaanite goddess, Asherah, into their own bloody creation myth. I'm eager to read more on this.
I was bubbling excitedly to Chris about this, a day or so after this began. My interest abides.
I remember something about Judasim being cobbled together of the myths and religions that were in a certain area to give the people there a sense of community, and to cement it, they kicked back their calendar a thousand years, so when people came by, they would look and see that These Guys Sure Had It Together Yo.

Oh! And I've been corresponding with the author of this book by e-mail a lot lately, and he's voulenteered to send me a copy of said book, autographed, for free, to aid me in fighting the good fight, which I think is neato-keen! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0965504794/102-3727907-8240957?v=glance&n=283155
