Yup, that's what I wanted to know!

I recently posted to a friend's journal to ask him about Latter Days, the second-to-last collection of Cerebus. The interesting thing about it from my point of view was that in his Biblical commentary, Dave Sim was separating out God from YHWH as characters, which I had never seen before, and it made for some neat reinterpretations of the stories. Dave Sim's a pretty good storyteller and he can write convincing characters, but I'd never seen much else to suggest he was a brilliant Biblical scholar -- dedicated, but not brilliant. So I was curious where the hell he got that, because it's a *really* neat idea.

Turns out that he got it from the Gnostics, and it's old news. If you click the link above, you'll see a post from a fellow describing that in more detail. I don't recognize his handle offhand. But hey, thanks, anonymous guy on LJ!

Don't you people *ever* shut *up*? :-P

I've been ignoring LJ for most of a week. In retrospect, that might be a mistake.

I don't think I've quite scrolled *all* the way back through what I missed, but that's okay, because much over 600 messages and I'll just throw up my hands in disgust anyway.

And that's with a reduced reading filter :-)

Oh, hey, for those who've forgotten -- DHP on Saturday, yo.

And my pagan name is... Moose Starpotato GlitterOrangutan

An LJ post on Pagan naming that you've probably all already seen, and I'm just now reading...

Some random stuff that other people posted...

A very pretty human thorax cake linked from unseelie's journal.

A sort of bizarre public service announcement from monkey587.

There turns out to be a Fondue restaurant in Fremont, which I'll definitely need to try out.

I'm starting to get dizzy from reading days of LJ in fast forward :-)
