Three Things Tuesday

IN the three-things-make-a-post category, because I have no time:

* Listening to Cake while I run actually fixes a lot of problems. Specifically, a mix of Fashion Nugget and Comfort Eagle gets me through a half-hour of running and knocks plot bits loose inside my head. Who’d've thought it? Their renditions of I Will Survive and Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town are particularly toothsome.

* PZ Myers knocks it out of the park again, with Bring Me The Heads Of Penn And Teller. Here’s the nut for me:

…President Obama got elected because he avoided offending people with religious sensibilities and has only said that the US is a secular nation with religious liberty. Again, what that means is that the government is out of the god business (or should be, ideally), and individual Americans get to worship or not worship as they want. It’s really not hard to understand, unless of course, you make a living by stirring up people’s outrage by pretending not to understand. (Pharyngula)

It’s the “pretending not to understand” part that has me nodding vigorously. It’s what Slacktivist has been blogging about lately.

* I got a haircut yesterday. My hairdresser buddy MakeMe said I’d be rocking the Elvira look shortly. I informed her I do not have a Goth powermullet. We both cracked up.

…maybe you just had to be there.

That’s it. I’ve got to go. This book needs some secondary plot lines woven in.

Over and out.
