Day Three-- In which Inu-no-Jess-chan looks around, realizes what needs to be done...

[lykomancer]

...by tomorrow, and tries not to have a mental melt-down.

You know, I thought this would go a lot faster than it is. I overestimated my own determination and fitness level, and underestimated how much stuff I own and how heavy it is and how dehydrated I'd get, and, well... *looks around* Er, yeah. Shit. My room is less of a problem. There's not a whole lot left in here, not after I cleaned out the closet last night. (Christ Almighty, I didn't realize how much was in there until I started digging. And then I thought I might unearth the Ark of the Covenant from its depths. O_o!)

Inu-no-Jess-chan also realizes that she has too many fucking books. Holy shit on a stick. I need to stop buying them. They are heavy and difficult to move. (And my full collection isn't even all here. I have another three big boxes still in Pennsylvania at my Grandparents'.
AND...after all the searching I've done while moving, I still haven't found my copy of St. Augustine's Confessions. GRRRRR! >.< I am one very, very unhappy theologian!)

In addition to what's left in my room and the shelf of books in the living room, the kitchen hasn't even been touched yet. Neither has the bathroom.
And I have my homework to do, including probably about two hundred pages of reading and writing a paper on Jonah.
Today is gonna suck, ladies and gents.

On the up side, however, the ever-sweet and talented chauni wrote me a tasty-good ficcy, and you all should go and read it and worship her now and forever, amen. *points the way to the Temple of Cha*

Can't find Confessions? Oh no! I'd send you mine but I probably burned it...I can't stand Gnosticism personally. I have a strange, love-hate relationship with it; being a nympho as I am, it personally offends me to hear people denounce sexuality in the name of religion, but being a religion scholar, I find Gnosticism fascinating. Goes for Manicheeism and Augustinian Dualism as well. Sigh. But I swear to all the gods there are, I actually gnawed on my copy of that book in defiance. *shakes head*

I started out with this idea that I'd hate Augustine, but then I absolutely fell in love with his prose and his theology. While he's still unforgivablely Christian, at least his theology makes more sense than say, Luther's...to me, anyway. Which is why losing the book upsets me... *sigh* I'll probably just buy another copy when I can afford it.

Ewww, Luther. That's even more detestable. Why am I a religion scholar again? Sometimes I forget...Predestination in any form strikes me as right up there with...well, Gnosticism on the "how the hell do you BELIEVE that?" meter. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed studying both Luther and Augustine's theologies...but personally, on a non-scholastic level, I'd gleefully resurrect both of them only to summarily eviscerate them.
