People,

Last night Ladyfriend Sarah and I found ourselves very very bored. The TV offerings were slim, the idea of going out was unappealing and we had no books to read.

Now rockers, when this level of ennui is reached there is only one thing to do - download illustrated Bible scenes and color them in! That's right, there's more than a few web pages which specialize in blank Christian themed coloring pages.

So we went to one of these pages, which ironically had 69 different pages to color in (Not Kidding). Here's what we chose:

- I worked on a scene of the baby Jesus surrounded by animals in the manger. Now, I know the animals supposedly knew who he was and loved him and all that, but there's no Mary or Joseph in this scene and the donkey looks hungry. People, that's just bad parenting.

- Sarah chose a scene from the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve are tempted by the serpent. You'd kinda think God could've come up with a tougher test, like sending three strippers and an ounce of heroin into the Garden and telling them not to touch that. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure I could go without an apple for the rest of my life.

- There was this other scene of a monkey and a man staring at each other in profile. Both have thought balloons above their heads. The man thinks "I can compose music, I can think, I can love, what can you do?" The monkey's thought balloon replies with a picture of a banana. This scene makes me think one of two things is true; 1) creationism is right on the money and monkeys have no conscious thought, or 2) this particular monkey was just pretty bad at improv and got caught off guard.

Regardless, coloring is fun.

Finally, a sad farewell to Johnny Cash. There's no good joke here, he was just someone who I admired and respected and I'm sad to see him go.
