where've you been?

I'M HERE!
i'm at 503 out of 1500 words of BS...concerning a Gothic limestone carving of Mary and Jesus. from the 1300s. as if there aren't a million of them already floating around. :)
this one's special, it's at the ROM. i saw it with my own two eyes. catalogue number 936.15.1 go check it out! while you're there, check out the feathered dinosaurs exhibit. did you know that birds are actually dinosaurs. they share ancestors from 145 million years ago.
how can anyone believe that number? borrowing laura's word: it's all bollocks. according to 'intelligent design' and relevant history, found in the bible which naturally follows this explanation, the earth dates to about 6000 years old. none of this big bang fluff. dinosaurs and birds though, that's cool.
it sure is interesting to speculate, eh? i'm just looking forward to getting to the end, and finding out all those funny little details that we could never know now. do you think God will explain some of those nice little details? like what actually happened to those dinosaurs? like if/how/when people came across to this continent? like what colour is the wind, really? like how does a caterpiller change into a butterfly? stuff that science can try to explain but really it has nothing... i can just imagine all those confused little scientists who were once so smart...kicking themselves for being so wrong...
it's so exciting! one day, i'll KNOW! but it makes me so much less interested in it now----why learn it now when it'll all make sense tomorrow anyway.
why start writing when i can write it all tomorrow.
why write at all, it's only worth what...25%... and what is that 25% gonna do to my life? does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? of course not.

this week is passover week...Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. his 'temple tantrum'. his last few days of ministry before his death. his intense prayers. i'm much more interested in that than in anthropology. and i'm interested in this limestone carving from the 1300s (this paper might be more about theology than about art though)...that's ok...whatever...
ok i'm done. i need to actually write some stuff. i think i need my pajama pants and some more chocolate.
