bearshortyI read an article this morning in USAToday online about the survivor stories from that flight in January that landed in the Hudson. The article is really a short excerpt from a book detailing witness accounts. I ordered the book from the local library because the article itself was fascinating. These people were sure they were going to die and they describe what was going on in their heads. One man, after the plane landed on the water, was moving toward the exit and felt he had to turn around and look to make sure his body was not still in the seat.
Today was a pretty slow day, as every Tuesday is. I get to sleep in after Monday. I did finally clean the bathroom today as I wanted to do since last week. It is all shiny now!
Bear has a website now for his animation , which is pretty cool. I like the pictures he did on top of each page of his characters interacting. He has his demo reels on the site for easy access and other fun updates.
Leviticus WTF moment of the day: chapters 16 to 20 discuss many laws, some pertain to Yom Kippur, some emphasize again that eating blood is forbidden, and many focus on unlawful sexual relationships. Some laws don’t exactly mesh with what came in the Bible previously. Law in Leviticus 20:17 and 18:9,11 for example, would punish Abraham for marrying his half-sister. 18:18 would punish Jacob for marrying two sisters. Not to mention Lot’s daughter’s seducing him. At least it makes a fun reading. Most sexual laws are about prohibition of incest. They describe all kinds of possible incestuous relationships in too much detail. But, of course, there are also laws against having sex during a woman’ period or “Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman” 18:22 (which can be interpreted in many ways, really.) And God is not really threatened by lesbians, nothing against two women in these laws. Among some regular laws there is a prohibition against tattoos, practicing sorcery, turning to mediums, eating a rare steak, and not making your daughter a prostitute. Something interesting I learned today: originally on the Day of Atonement all the sins were put on a goat, a scapegoat, who was then released into the desert.
