Bizarre reading material of the day
The Return of the Goddess, by Joseph Michael Linsner. Imagine if pagans wrote Jack Chick tracts, and illustrated them as hypersexualized pin-ups.
Okay, imagine if pagans wrote the sort of Jack Chick tracts in which, midway through the story, Jesus shows up with a shotgun and start blowing away the enemies of the Lord, while teaching edifying lessons about the true meaning of faith.
Strange. But OTOH -- had a day of progress at work today (finally...) and managed to talk to some senior people about my project, and get them interested. That's very good, and not at all common... I think the last time I talked to someone senior about my work was a few months ago. (Dammit, aren't advisors supposed to communicate with their students a little more often? mrph...)
