  • Like Sands in an Hourglass...

    "There'll always be sexual tension between male and female friends; we're animals, after all, wired to accept each other on a sexual level at all times." ~ former Dawson's Creek co-star Joshua Jackson, to the London Observer
    This totally explains why people in Hollywood always end up dating and/or marrying their coworkers. 

    This is cool.  I discovered how to set a background colour for my text using html instead of using the Highlighter tool.  I know, I'm easily impressed.

    Friday The Repugnant once again earned it's nickname.  A story about Rocky Horror now playing in Chandler was the fold story on B1 while a story about our governor meeting with the president of Afganistan was buried on B6.  Guess which story was shorter, too.  B (or Valley and State) is the local news section of The Repugnant.  Shouldn't the governor meeting with a foreign president be front page news?  Even if it couldn't make A1, it ought to make B1.  What a sad state of affairs.

    After mass on Sunday I saw a brochure in the pew by Bishop Olmstead and started to flip through it.  I probably would have taken it with me had I not been distracted.  A lady I recognize as being a regular mass attendee approached me somewhat hesitantly.  She complimented my lectoring ability (ironically the week between lectoring weekends), and said that I appeared to be more serious about it than many of the others.  I really appreciated the compliment.  She then hesitantly gave me a photocopied advertisement for Our Lady of the Roses Shrine.  She asked that I check it out, that it should help my faith journey.  I was touched that she would share with me something which had so obviously touched her. 

    Thanks to jada_marnew for the quiz:

    Your Brain is Green
    Of all the brain types, yours has the most balance.
    You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver.
    You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don't get stuck in bad thinking patterns.

    You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual).
