The Worthless Blither of a Sickened Chelonite

Americans – and in this case, a sick turtle – spend 8-10 hours a day watching television. That’s probably not true. I lied.Or did I? It’s not a lie if I don’t know that it isn’t true.This is the kind of cerebellum-amputating logic that comes from an hourlong mixture of Michel Gondry videos and slight real-world nausea.Michel Gondry – Sure as hell hope I’m spelling that right – is awesome. Have you ever seen the videos he does for Beck? Or the White Stripes, for that matter.All in all, it makes about as much sense as that scene from Pirates 3 where Up is Down and they capsize the only thing stopping them from drowning but due the that damned inevitability clause, they all survive by bursting through to the surface.Great effects, great plot point, awful storytelling. Which reminds me… why is Lost popular again?(Duck and cover) 

Sick

I am sick. Or, rather, my throat is sick. The rest of me is fine. I feel like I could run a mile (I can’t really) if it weren’t for the hacking cough every few minutes. I bought a book recently. It’s a book on Mythology from DK, and encompasses all kinds of heroes and gods and such. Quite a few stories (Gilgamesh, etc…) had stories of a great flood in them. Which got me thinking…Why doesn’t the book have the Torah/Bible stories in there? Without even questioning their validity, aren’t they just as mythological as Odin or Raven the Trickster god? Because nowhere in the book do they even mention whether or not the stories are real, and nowhere to they mention Christianity w/out the phrase “Before Slovakia was taken over by Christianity, they had a rich mythological heritage” or some such flapdoodle.No, it’s a great book. But it does confuse me so.
