Religulous

I saw 'Religulous' on Sunday night - was seeing this film on a sunday blasphemous - can a heathen be blasphemous? I thought it was interesting (and perhaps ironic?) that there were only 5 other people in my theater but there was a packed house for "Saw V (or IV or VI - couldn't tell you)", a horror film of some sort. This is not a scientific sampling of interest for these films but something that peeks my curiosity none the less - more people wanted to see blood and guts and sawing people into little pieces than wanted to listen to a skeptics documentary on religious faith. "Religulous" is definitely worth seeing - scary, but in a different way than "Saw V".

And speaking of angels - I went to Los Angeles last Thursday through Sunday. This is a strange place. Urban? This place redefines the term. You cannot go anywhere unless you are in a car - I really felt as though I had been transported into a Chips episode or an episode of Charlie's Angels (Emilie's been into these lately) but the scenery had simply aged thirty years. L.A. is a place that seems impossible to pin down - it really is an accumulation of everything, all sandwiched into one big sprawling mess - you're sort of forced to love it. It begins to fall into the 'so bad it's good' class of phenomenon.

We've finished up our "2to3" chairs for my furniture class. I'll show some pictures of those soon.
