Makeup

Holy crap, I’m so busy and so tired. I have a long list of things to blog about, a few of them quite interesting, so I hope you’ll stick with me until I have more than a moment to spend writing. In the meantime, here’s Samantha’s idea of how to apply makeup. She wore it all day.

More lazy blogging in the form of links:

The Objectivist Round Up lives at Titanic Deck Chairs this week.

Adam has posted 5 more installments in his Sewing Machine thread on Volokh. The entire series can be found here.

Live Kitten Cam. It’s amazing how much time I can spend watching cats on my screen while my real live cat is playing in the room right next to me. (HT: BAW)

Dolphins Blowing Bubbles

Check out these dolphins blowing bubble rings and playing with them. Apparently, they’ve taught each other the behavior. It’s pretty neat how they can make the bubble rings in the first place, but the way they swish them around and pop them is so cute. It really seems like they do it purely to amuse themselves.

The Only One

It’s nice to have a unique name:

HowManyOfMe.com

There are
1
or fewer people with my name in the U.S.A.

How many have your name?

(HT: Rational Jenn)

It’s actually quite convenient that I married a man with a rare name since I don’t have a middle name to distinguish me. My parents thought it unnecessary, given that my maiden name is Afflerbach. That fact accounts for my short first name as well, which I appreciated very much growing up, having to write Afflerbach over and over. Thanks, Mom and Dad!

Adam doesn’t have a middle name either, but we did give Samantha a middle name, Miriam, after Adam’s mom who died about 13 years ago. I’m not a fan of naming children after relatives, but this was a special case.

Speaking of names, it looks like Samantha might become a Sammy. She calls herself Sammy most of the time, even though Adam and I use it rarely. Now that she started it, though, we’ve been using Sammy more often. Whatever you call her, she is unique.

Do You Have Biblical Morals?

Since I’m reading the bible right now, this quiz was extra fun:

Your morality is 8% in line with that of the bible.

Damn you heathen! Your book learnin’ has done warped your mind. You shall not be invited next time I sacrifice a goat.

Like Greg Perkins at NoodleFood, I answered the question about how to curry favor with god according to my knowledge of the bible, not according to what is right, since there is no “right” way to treat a figment of one’s imagination.
