Took care of some stuff that was making me anxious, shopped a little, worked out, played Precipice, now I'm watching kitboga.

Dude, I love kitboga (and was actually just telling someone at work about him today) but I haven't watched him in a long time. I need to fix that!

I was off work today so I slept in late, got some Starbucks, and went to my nail appointment. I got this really cool deep, blackened blue-purple glitter gel polish that looks black indoors and in lower lighting, but in sunlight it's a fucking stunner, lol. So sparkly...

Sa

I forgot to add that I got a new coloring app yesterday, and it's a lot of fun so I wasted about two hours on that this morning, lol.

Worked (the project I was working on with incompetent idiots that I've complained about a few times here finally wrapped up today!) and now I'm sitting at home in the air conditioning debating if I want to go back out into the heat (it's still around 100) to get a couple things from the store (since I haven't changed into my pajamas/lounging around clothes and am not settled in for the night yet) or if I want to wait until Wednesday (I'm off work tomorrow and don't plan on leaving the house!) since it's nothing that can't wait a couple days.

I'm leaning towards waiting until Wednesday, though. I think I'm going to go wash my face and change into pajamas and watch TV until I inevitably fall asleep in the middle of a show because I didn't get nearly enough sleep last night.

Had a bunch of meetings. Found out my mother is a monster who eats tuna fish with mayo on salad with Russian dressing.

Ew. Russian dressing has mayo in it. Why would you double the mayo. But then again, I don't like the mayo. When I make tuna, I put only a little mayo and then a lot of relish so it doesn't taste like mayo. And I don't use mayo for anything else.

Court in the morning. Had the start of a migraine, so went back to bed. Then did some legal work. Now it is 7:11 and I'm going to bed. I have a full on migraine and I'm not going to accomplish anything more today. I've set my alarm early so I can get work done in the morning. Tomorrow is busy, but that's just the way it will have to be.

Woops, posted wrong place first.

My parents are currently on a date, so the house is quiet other than my cat running around having fun. It is nice. Usually they have the tv on blaring because my dad's hearing isn't great.

Went to work. Came back from work. Work, work, work.

And I fed my dog and cat!

Finally separated out everything in my garage into "keeps" and "gtfos" and called to set up a junker appointment. It's going to feel so good to get all of that crap out of there. I've been wanting to turn the garage into a game room for AGES.

Yes, no? Why and why not?

Like real magic? Not stage? nah. Never seen it or any proof of it.

Technically they're the same thing. (kinda not really) But either or. I was just watching a documentary on the 'science of magic' and found it very interesting. Most of it was how stage magicians trick the eye to see what they want you to see, and the mechanics behind it. It got me thinking to various rituals and beliefs beck in the day, which in my opinion had some truth to them. Like the Ancient Chinese studied the cracks in the bones of cattle to determine various harvests and when was a good time to attack an enemy, the instructor basically said they more than likely lied to suit the Emperor's needs, but my first thought was that there was some truth in it. (weak bones=weak harvest etc..)

I'm curious about peoples opinions.

Nope. Lack of of proof.

Magic? No. Do I believe in the supernatural, yes a bit to a certain extent. There is something out there beyond our understanding. Spirit exists, we aren't just material beings. And I believe in God. And I think the spiritual world occasionally touches the physical. Occasionally. But do I believe that humans have any sort of control over it, no.

I really, really hope this doesn't come off as snarky, because I swear I don't mean for it to, but it's a question I've never had answered as anything other than "it's different, because reasons."

If you believe in God, then presumably you believe that Jesus performed miracles, right? The walking on water, the turning water to wine, the faith healings, the calming of the storm-- can you explain to me how these things aren't magic? And if they are, how does magic not exist?

The Bible literally mentions magic and witches. Just another example of so-called Christians not actually reading their precious Holy Book.

No. There's no real material or empirical evidence that it exists, so that's not a great start. And philosophically, I don't really believe in any of the structures that would allow magic to exist - I don't believe in an order or structure of the universe, I don't believe in a higher divinity or any kind of universal being or universal force or destiny, I don't believe in essences or intrinsic natures or Platonic entities, I don't believe in any of that. So, no.

What are your thoughts on luck? If you don't mind me asking.

You sound insanely miserable. I hate people who are purely logical, I've never seen one person who is who wasn't miserable because to them the only thing to life was to eat, breathe, sleep and reproduce. Everything else you needn't bother with.
