Reading about the crash of the new Airbus A400M military plane in Spain (bound for Turkish government, apparently). Watching CNN wondering if they've broken that story yet. Contemplating breakfast. Flu over, but bad heartburn since last night. Not sure why.

I am 30. I'm not this old. Tanner is looking at me like "let's go lazybones." I have to leave my bed to get coffee. It's like out in the kitchen and shit. I gotta clean yesterdays grounds outta the filter, fill up the water, put in new grounds. It's a whole thing.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

BTDT. Waiting for the coffee to brew. It's a lazy Saturday morning.

It's 3.30am and my daughter woke me up practically crying.
She must have been dreaming and for some reason she wanted me to get a picture out of her bag that she drew at school.
So I had to go out to the car in the cold, eyes half closed, running into things.
I got the picture out, she took one look at it, told me that we can't forget to give it to mum and went straight back to sleep.
She's a funny little thing. :-)

I think I stumped my Mormon penpal. We've been going back and forth several times a day for the last week and she hasn't yet responded to my last comment (sent yesterday afternoon, seen by her at about 6pm).
She's either going to have to show how her subjective personal experience that causes her to believe in her god is somehow more legitimate than the subjective personal experience of an alien abductee (which she just called "only perceptions"), or she's going to have to admit that having a subjective personal experience doesn't automatically mean the experience is true or real.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
