I miss the spiritual community of going to church, but I don't miss the willful ignorance and hatred parading as love.

I was less irritated by book #3 and more surprised. Like "You went there? Really?"

I felt he was going there, and my disgust just kept growing as he kept going. It was just so...

Man, that's like when Sheri Tepper went off the rails and soured me on her perfectly cromulent YA stuff.

Plei, if you see this, insent to your mohmlet at gmail account.

I should say I went to the church school on the church grounds and at times would be on said grounds every single day of the week. Watching some people be very true to Christian principles, and a lot of other people not even remotely coming close.

I miss the fervent faith of my parents and sister. I've co-opted Cindy's statement and I am currently on a break with Church. I like to think there is a God of some sort; I just want the divine to be more divine than some followers make it seem.

meara! The DC Kings are mentioned in an article in today's Slate! [link]

Yep! I'd heard about it for a while. Not really impressed with the article, though...normally I like her stuff, but all the stuff about how her daughter was freaked out and disgusted by her and by drag queens? Eesh.

GREAT phone call. The guy definiately wants to work with me but he doesn't have an open position at the moment. BUT the position he is working on creating sounds perfect for me and is a great mix of the skills I already have and the challenges of working on his team

OOoh, fingers crossed for you, Suzi!

GF has been un-laid off. That place is weird, but at least this is good weird. I guess her boss went to bat for her.

Eep! Well, fingers crossed that whatever's best works out for her.

I think I enjoyed the latest Kushiel book (#2 in the second trilogy?) better than the one before that.

t cries and cries I'm still at work.

GF has been un-laid off.

That's good news! Yay for good news. We need some. Also, Suzi's phone interview sounds like good news, too.

Have I been skipping and skimming too much to catch it, or has Sean brought any news of how S is doing?

I'm still at work too, but mostly because I'm having internet issues at home. Since it's almost 11 pm, I should think about getting home soon though.

Suzi, best of luck with your potential work endeavors!

eta Yay about the unlayingoff for GF too!

S is out of surgery, and really really groggy. She's doing okay, but there's (as is typical) the potential for some complications. So far, so good, but we'll have to wait out the next couple of days to see how things go.

GC, go home already, or something. Stab people in the face (with unicorns and puppies, possibly) if you have to.

Yay for un-laid offness!

Sentence you don't hear every day:

"Excuse me, ladies. I got a potato gun for Christmas. I'm very excited."
