Religulous


I saw Religulous in the theaters last night. Just in time to not miss the one month mark! Bill Maher is a funny guy. I think he pushes his subjects a little too hard. He did manage to get them to admit to ridiculous things, but if he'd had a little more cunning he may have made them realize that they were saying/doing ridiculous things...

But religious people always seem to forget all that the next day.

I laughed at half of his jokes, and all of the crazy things religious people said. I think the big irony of this flick though was that at the end, it came off as kind of preachy. Go figure.

My favorite line: "And Lot wanted to stop the towns people, because he didn't want his city to be seen as the kind of place that... rapes angels."

*Liv makes not so random Hand Signals*

Dude, how sweet is this? I showed this list to Dan's mom, and so for my birthday last month, she and Dan's dad got me a REALLY nice book on learning sign language plus a bunch of manicure stuff to keep my hands looking nice.

And I found out that Katie's friend Chris knows sign language so I could practice with him... the rare occasion he's around and all. But hey, practice is practice. That's how languages get learned.

Speaking of which, the spanish thing isn't getting too much further off the ground. I really want to get a copy of Rosetta Stone. In the mean time, I bother Pedro for phrases. Like "Quiero cafe con leche y sukar", or cafe blanco con sukar (Light and sweet).

Also, thanks to Pan's Labrynth, I know 'leche fresca' is fresh milk, and 'hermano' is brother.

Picutres...

Dude, photo blogging takes foreffer. Dunno why it should. I've been doing good with taking at least ten pictures each weekend. I think I've only missed maybe one weekend, which wasn't very pretty. Lots of rain at my out door rock show.

But hey, I do have the memories loaded up into photobucket. Its matter of me going back and writing a little bit about the visuals.

Silver Clay!


So, for my birthday, Dan got me all the stuff I needed to get started making things out of precious metal clay!! Yaaaay!!

I put it off for a while because it freaked me out to think just how n00b I'd have to be at it. I'm so used to my jewelry looking professional.

But eventually I put the pouting aside and got down to it. For my second piece I made my friend a hard core bracelet. The three beads are promethean symbols, and the rest is braided leather chord. Check it!

So guess this counts as both making stuff out of PMC and a thoughtful gift for a friend!
