Hands of God

Quote of the day: "Apparently, the hands of God have nicely manicured fingernails."

Word of the day: eudaemonism (pronounced "yew-DE-mon-izm")

"Hallo, Harry, what sort of tomfoolery shall we get into today?" "No tomfoolery today, Ron." Hehehe. No, sorry, that was an excerpt from one of my favorite Potter Puppet Pals vids, "Wizard Angst." There's the link, and if you are feeling too lazy to move the mouse (in your hand) 1.2 inches from point A to point B, here's the video:

Hehe. I STILL laugh at it, and I've seen it around 20 times. I can recite it by heart. Just about. I think.

But anywayz, the quote of the day originated from moi, and it had to do with a project I was working on. I had to draw a picture for the sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by...um, Jonathan Edwards. Anywho, I was drawing the many hands of God (you can see the pictures at my art blog, Doodlistic), and there was a recurring issue. I draw manga-style people, but I focus on girls, for some reason. May'aps I find the challenge of the curves and such a fun thing to figure out, but the fact is, all my people have feminine features. Now, this is a good thing, as a lot of the "handsome" boys in manga/anime are slightly girly-looking. HOWEVER. This would not do for God. (Is it wrong that I laughed when I typed that? *flashback*: "Be like Jesus.") Hehe. Anyway, all of the said hands of God had feminine fingers, hence the quote above.

The word of the day was found the same way as the last one: dictionary-screensaver. Miraculous thing, that. I don't know how to paraphrase the definition of "eudaemonism," but I like how it has the word "demon" in it when you pronounce it. ^-^ The dictionary says it is "a system of ethics that bases moral value on the likelihood that good actions will produce happiness." When you break the definition down and take the meanings of the words "ethics" and "moral value," I guess you could get something like "eudaemonism is a type of behavior that utilizes/judges actions with the belief that doing good things will bring happiness." Hunh. If you cross out and rearrange some words in that sentence, "Eudaemonism is [...] the belief that doing good things will bring happiness." Well, there you go. I just gave you 3 ways to see eudaemonism. Do you have a better, simpler, more easily understood definition? TELL ME. I WANT TO KNOW.

That's all today, I guess. I haven't heard anything that makes me start criticizing the dumbness of some humans yet, so you have been spared. Rejoice.
