Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize this morning. It is a little unexpected but I’m more concerned with how Fox news will spin it.

The most eye raising thing I’ve read today: Marge Simpson posing for playboy

because cartoon characters are super sexy and need a centerfold, I guess.

Of all the chores that have to be done, the worst is washing the floors. Especially because Mama wants it done a certain way. I prefer washing dishes and cooking and even washing the bathroom to washing the floors.

I think I came up with my midterm question. It will be about the limits of technology like a past midterm but instead of asking who should define that limit I’ll let them try to figure out where the limit is. They talked in class about this; let’s see if they can get their thoughts together.

Exodus WTF moment of the day: The last five chapters of Exodus were the most boring reading I ever had to read. Mainly because I already had to read it earlier, when God was giving Moses instructions on how to build the tabernacle. Four chapters are just about people building the tabernacle in excruciating detail and then a list of all the parts again. And the last chapter is about God telling Moses to put the tabernacle up, listing all its parts, and then Moses putting it up, part by part in detail. If I had to write these five chapters it would go like this: “And then craftsmen built everything pertaining to the tabernacle according to God’s earlier instructions. Here is a list of everything. God told Moses to assemble it and Moses did. God guided people. The End.” That’s not even a paragraph! I guess people cared because it was the house of worship but these chapters are the reason while the Bible always bored me before and why the children’s version always skips this. Well, the good thing is the Exodus is done! Three more books of the Torah to go. I was thinking of taking a little break before I tackle Leviticus but I should just work through it before I lose my nerve to continue.
