Sleepy...

1. Got an email back from the Scottish Government EU office about my request for feedback on my application - someone'll be calling me next Tuesday :) So somthing posative came out of an otherwise disappointing failure to secure a job. It'll be useful for the future anyway.
2. We won the pub quiz yesterday - woot!
3. Discovered Dr Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog and The Guild: wasted a lot of time this mornign watching those rather than working - oops!
4. Applied for a broadcast assistant job with the BBC - don't expect to be called for an interview, but it pays to keep applying for things here and there.
5. My horoscope today on FB made me very very nervous (not that I believe that sot of crap, but still...)
6. This made me smile: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7513571.stm

7. This made me want to hit people: http://community.livejournal.com/muslims/583460.html
8. This is far too true for comfort: http://xkcd.com/451/
9. This made me go "awwwww": cat
more cat pictures

Oh, and I finally remembered what I had intended to write about today in the first place! Go me and my shoddy memory (warenty has probably expired by now...damn...). Yet again, it's in reference to my faith-related-crisis of the past few weeks. I was Wikipediaing stuff on the Abrahamic tradition and got to following a chain of articles on faith, philosophy etc. I came to the conclusion that my current stance is more or less sumarised by the following two life-views:
1. Agnostic Theism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnostic_theism)
and, 2. Ietism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ietsism)
Really, I guess the best way I can describe it is Agnostic Abrahamic Theism - but the problem I find is that it falls in to a semi-Gnostic catagory, and gnosticism isn't something I particularly hold with at the moment.
