Latest update 1:40 pm Monday
So, Heather (shimmeringjemmy)’s computer is in the back of the truck, so I’ve been getting SMS messages all day.
Here is the capsule:
Sunday:
10:25 am Heather headed out from Seattle heading south
6:50 pm Heather hits California in Yreka.
9:00 pm Heather stops in Anderson, CA.
Monday:
10:06 am: Heather is in Lothrop, just south of Stockton
11:17 am: Heather is approaching Fresno
1:40 pm: Bakersfield. Heather ETA: 3:30; Fresno Native’s ETA:4:00
(Posting attempt 2 as my app crashed)
As previously announced, tuesday will be a social gathering to bid adieu to the guilty pleasures of “Buffy the vampire slayer” and the second season of “24”. Shindig to begin at 7. People arriving between 8 and 10 should prepare to arrive quietly 🙂 gathering ends when the last person crawls out the door.
Here are the basic rules of the party and invite:
1) I should know who you are. Complete strangers should probably contact me before attempting to show up.
2) Commutative Coolness invites are okay, but the recipients should RSVP.
3) RSVPs in general are a good thing
4) Potluck is requested but not required
5) Be prepared to follow rules of the house. If you are unfamiliar with rules of the house… you should be contacting me anyways.
Whee!

Earlier I made a post called, “Never try to teach a pig to sing…”
It’s from an old joke/parable/cliche:
“Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and it annoys the pig.”
This quotation has been traced to Heinlein (whose experts refute that it is his) and Twain (who has the same refutation {Oh, my what a word})
I used it in a vain attempt to clarify a Fundamentalist Christian’s views on Paganism and Atheism. I have finally determined the definition of “Fundamentalist” that makes me most happy. A fundamentalist is someone who so blindly follows the teachings of their faith that they in fact become a danger to any reputability that faith may actually deserve.
And for those that know me.. I’ve met more than one Fundamentalist Thelemite.
So, I went to investigate his journal to see exactly how bad he was…
And as a result, I would like to apologize to pigs everywhere.
Translation… Suckered in by a troll. Blah
An excellent article on the (lack of) care and (not) feeding of trolls
