This weekend I discovered the stripping the paint off the side of a house is more fun when done in better company. Most things seem to be.

On Sunday I had a nice motorcycle ride with bk2w, and a very long talk on a wide range of topics. I was reminded again how little I really know about cars :-) Later, talking philosophy, we were discussing science and the fact that if God were to exist and have a systematic effect on the universe, that effect, if it could be described, would then be given a set of equations and labelled "Not God". The image of an old fellow with long robes, a long white beard, a bemused expression and an enormous sticky label with the words "NOT GOD" makes me happy.

And apparently the domain "AmIGodOrNot.com" isn't taken :-)

Next: a reminder to follow your dreams.

I was thinking about LJ memories. The best reason I can think of offhand to make something an LJ memory would be if I were going to link to it on a regularish basis -- for instance, I could make a public entry explaining the origin of the name "angelbob", or what an "angelbob crisis" was.

There's an entry I feel like I should write soon, just to get it done. I thought about the idea of making it a memory, and what somebody recently said about LJ memories saying a lot about the person who chooses them. That'd make me look decidedly bitter. Then again, that might be accurate in this case.

(No, I haven't written that entry yet -- probably soon)

I've just finished Jay MacInerny's "The Story of My Life". Like, less than two minutes ago, at least when I started this entry.

I definitely liked it as much as "Bright Lights, Big City". It ended oddly. I think if I'd read it three or four years ago, it would have made very little sense to me. It does, now.
