Indigo Incarnates
It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I think this is the time of year in which my energy level goes way down. It’s hard when it’s pitch black when I get up in the morning. Soon it’ll be pitch black when I get off work too. For the past two weeks it has been overcast or raining almost every day and has rained for the past three weekends. My energy levels are sorta in the basement right now.
Doug and I were supposed to go to Corn Maze, but of course it rained – again. We did go to Halloween Park. It was pretty cool. They combined both buildings this year so that the tour is now and hour and ten minutes. It was one of these “puzzle” haunted houses since we had to figure out a trigger in each room in order to get the door to the next room to open. It was pretty cool. Whoever designed this place sure was a fan of hydraulics!
Of course, our T-Mobile phones didn’t work out of state AGAIN. It used to. But apparently T-Mobile dropped most of their roaming agreements with other carriers so now my phone only works in the Baltimore metro area. So when I called them this morning to report yet another place where the phone no longer functioned, they finally agreed to let me out of my contract without penalty. FINALLY! Doug wants to go with Sprint since the phones are cute. Personally, I don’t care so long as they work in more places than just Baltimore.
I have to say that I’m puzzled by the fact that the fundamentalist Christians were all gushing with sympathy this week over the death of Susan Atkins. The rational person would say “good riddance to bad rubbish” since she stabbed a pregnant woman in the abdomen and ripped out her victim’s baby and killed the baby too – for no reason at all. But the fundamentalists sort of view her as a “folk hero” since she did a prison-conversion to Christianity. Big whupp. One of the other Mansion cultists converted to Christian Fundamentalism and actually got ordained even though he’ll be in jail for the next several centuries. I guess it’s okay for murderers to be pastors, but not gays. Go figure, eh?
So, now that Iran has nukes and is being run by a madman, isn’t it just AWESOME that Bush spend six years listening to the god-voices in his head that told him to attack Iraq instead? Wonderful.
Hopefully this weekend will be sunny for a change. I’d like to go with Doug to Corn Maze – especially since out friend Mav wants to go too.
Oh, I spent my allowance wisely. For $31, I got a GPS module for my itty bitty netbook. That’s a lot cheaper than spending $149 for a dedicated GPS unit. It’s also a lot cheaper than spending $2700 for an in-dash unit (which I’d never spend that much money for such a trivial thing anyway). So we used the little GPS to go to the haunted house last night and it worked like a charm :)
It’s only 11 more days until I get to lead a worship service at Turning Circle. Yay! They liked my Autumn Rite enough that I got invited to do it again. Too kewl.
