Another Week in Review
With all the major sporting events going on today, I thought I'd let people know: What is a Knickerbocker?<
Mass this evening was emptier than I've seen it for a SuperBowl Sunday. And that's saying something. Mass was over in 45-50 minutes, and that's with a longer than average homily. We had that few for Communion.
ABC's Perspective covered The Blasphemy Challenge today. Apparently it's a lot worse than I thought. The folks behind it are paying for ads on web sites targeting teens. Both the lady and the guy behind it shared how they were both tired of the condemnation within Christianity, so they started an atheist radio show under assumed names. Even now, they claim to get death threats. Why do so many people spread fear and hate in the name of Love?
Thanks to Footprints, I discovered someone in Ohio reading this site through MaxStealth.com. It seems obvious now that I've seen it, but I never realized that people'd bother with making web site reading anonymous. Hello anonymous reader(s)! I don't know why you'd need to read this site anonymously. All Public posts are Public for a reason. I choose to assume that all Public Posts could be read at any time by any people I might know, might know me, or even might know of me in the past, present, or future.
Monte had us watch Lifeforce on Saturday night. It was interesting seeing the parallels between it and X-Men 2.
Friday Bill had Jay and I over for Earthshock and pizza. I actually stayed awake through the whole episode! I recalled parts of it from previous viewings, but now it all makes sense. :^) Unfortunately, I stayed up too late for a Friday, and got to work a few minutes late. I barely got the store open in time. :^( Luckily, no one seemed to notice. :^)
Speaking of work, we're so understaffed right now that I'm stuck with a Monday and Wednesday through Sunday schedule. That's the first time in all of these years I've been switched for more than just a single occassion. It's less than optimal, as I won't be able to attend Parish Time tomorrow (and potentially the rest of the year). It also means that work is rather hosed by my submitted time off for Presidents's Day. Hopefully, people will be hired and trained asap.
Hamster
You scored 52 Loyalty, 49 Affection, 64 Spontaneity, and 57 Demeanor!Although you aren't particularly affectionate, you are pretty loyal, mainly because the last time you broke out of your cage, you ended up in the toilet, and the view was terrible. Not wanting to repeat that set of circumstances, you tend to stick close to home and close to your humans, or at least, close enough to see where they are stepping so that you don't end up like your paralytic Uncle Marvin. You love running your little hamster course, especially since you always forget its layout and each run is like a new course. Sometimes you will just dive off and into the exercise section of the cage and go for a nice, long hamster wheel run. Altough a pretty nice hamster, you aren't a big hugger, again, mainly because of all the injuries you have witnessed in your little hamster life from humans who don't understand their own strength. 
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
