hm. just got an e-mail from

camillafarfalla in which she frequently refers to me in third person, by the name phin. hm. a bit lj-influenced, perhaps?

i learned some interesting stuff in church today. oh yes. about abner kneeland - the universalist (not UU as i said earlier, as there were no UUs as such in the early 1800s) who was jailed for blasphemy. what was most fascinating was when she read the massachusetts law under which he was prosecuted. basically, it says you go to jail if you say irreverent things about god, jesus or the holy ghost. um. even more interesting? this law came under review in 1979... and was left as it is. it is still the law in this here state. so, what did this guy say? he said god is everywhere and everything is god. and he advocated birth control, interracial marriage, the abolition of slavery... yeah. blasphemy.

so. was a lazy lout today. but i did go to my parents' after church and i got this beeeyoootiful new laptop! wheee!!!! <3<3<3 v. v. happy.

oh, hey, noho kids! when is

hominidj coming? are y'all coming east at some point? what's up for the weekend, yo? plans?
