happy christmas

At the moment I'm acting as a concierge at the Seaboard Building downtown (I kiss asses and open the door). What a lovely way to spend the eve of such a lovely holiday. Instead of regretting the silly decision of accepting a temporary position on Xmas Eve I've decided to look at it as a gift--of a big chunk of virtually uninterrupted time to do whatever I want with my brain, a book, and the internet.

In between hiding from some of the crazies who reside downtown (thank goodness for the locked door!) and schmoozing the richies (the condos in this building are at least a million a piece) I've come across some interesting and entertaining things:

Theoretically Mary could very well have been a virgin mother ! The chances are slim-to-none, however how much more likely could it be that it was a divine conception? Who the hell knows.

If you've ever heard or used the phrase "that's sadder than a whore on Christmas", The Whore on Christmas is a good read. Very informative article about how one woman in the sex industry has spent a few of her Xmas days. Not a half bad way to spend part of the magical day... makin' some extra cash ... if you're into the whole "selling your body" thing of course!

Since this is "a victory for advocates of empirically established scientific fact", it is a victory for me as well! Finally, Mr. Bush acknowledges the existence of a molecule! Who knows if he knew with the fuck he was talking about -- but hey! Whatever. I hope our next president finds some use for these banks of empirical data.

Ok, that's all for now. Super duper happy thoughts on your Holidays!
