Where I mention porno and Jesus in the same post
Photoshop update
So computer guy thought he HAD installed it. Turned out, there was a smudge on the disk, so while the information was on my laptop, it wasn't recognized as a program, or something. He fixed it. Now I have photoshop! Let the doctored pictures commence!

Science spoiler rant
OK, this morning on the radio I heard an ad for a "medical spa" that would make you a face cream that's personalized for you, because it contains...YOUR OWN DNA!
Wow. Really? And what is it exactly that rubbing my own DNA on my face will achieve? Surely they're not suggesting that the DNA is getting INTO my cells, because that would be gene therapy, and if they've managed to do that by putting genes into a lotion, a lot of medical scientists are going to be PISSED OFF! Seriously, though, WHY would I pay that much money (I'm assuming it's not cheap) to smear my OWN DNA all over my face? It just doesn't work like that. Sorry, but no. Your skin isn't going to absorb the DNA, and even if it did, your top layer of skins cells are already DEAD! And even if the DNA got to the live cells underneathe, they're not going to be impressed. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN DNA! It's such a ridiculous concept.
People, if you want to rub DNA all over your face, just be in a porno film. Those girls end up with gunky DNA ALLLL over their face. And actually they always look pretty happy about it.
So maybe there IS something to the DNA on your face theory. Girls, go film a facial today! Get youthful looking skin! Your husbands/boyfriends will be overjoyed to help out!

Maundy Thursday
Today is Maundy Thursday, aka Holy Thursday. Seems like a good percentage of my readership is atheist/pagan (pagans are cool)/agnostic, so this means a whole lotta squat to you, I'm sure. Holy week has always been my favorite week of the church calendar. It all boils down to this week. And really, none of that other bullshit counts. Religious zealots can interpret scriptures all they want, they can preach their hate and their nonsence. But this week is what it's all about.
Tonight, He was betrayed by someone he trusted.
Tomorrow, He was unfairly tried, convicted, and hung up to die.
Sunday, He defied death and saved us all. And by that, I mean ALL. Not just the people who go to a certain church and pray a certain way and believe a certain thing. ALL. OF. US.
And you can argue with me all you want. I am as obstinate as a republican on this. Call me ignorant. Call me prejudiced. Call me stupid. I don't give a tiny shit. My blog, MY faith. I am a liberal christian and DAMNED proud of it!
But you know...that's just me.
