The harder they come

Gobbleday did not treat me so well. We visited the elder sibling and stayed in his McMansion in North Carolina. The actual day went fine, but the day after I caught some ridiculous 24 hour bug and ended up throwing up several times and staying in bed in a delirium. Most people gain weight during Gobbleday, but I am one of the few who must have lost a couple of pounds. It was horrendous. If it weren't for El taking care of me, it would've been even more painful, as my family seemed to express only a passing interest in my condition.

How was Gobblefest for you? Cruising the highways with a new cd is always a welcome thing.

Oddly, I don't have much to say, though El and I had a kind of strange moment. I was watching this crazy thing on CNN about creationism field trips, and I told El, Look at this crazyness! And she basically said what crazyness? I said, this guy is saying the world is only 6000 years old! This is when I realized that El doesn't believe in Darwinism, because in Genesis it says that God created everything in 6 days.

Can someone believe in God and Darwinism? Are they mutually exclusive? How can you not believe Darwinism? Wouldn't that negate modern medicine? We test drugs extensively on mice and pigs because they share similar DNA to humans. Augh, it was a weird moment. Thank God she's Korean in the fact that if our children want to be scientists, her desire for them to succeed will outweigh her beliefs in biology.
