Holy Week, Batman!

So tomorrow is Holy Thursday. Not sure where, or even if, I'm going to Mass tomorrow night. We'll see. I'm kind of against the whole "play as much music as possible" reflex that most music ministries seem to have during Holy Week, when they think more = more special. Let me tell you, folks, if it's not special every week, it won't be more special during Holy Week. It will just be more.

I read a book! Yes! Rory Stewart's The Places In Between. Non-fiction; it's about a guy who walked across Asia. This book chronicles his time in Afganistan, just after the Taliban were overthrown. Who wants to discuss it? Book group doesn't meet until May.

The stupid Title II people are refusing to fund my trip to China. Stupid. They paid for my Chinese classes last summer, but they can't pay for anything foreign. Stupid! I may have to take out a loan. The program wants a $500 deposit by Friday. Lame.

Spring Break next week. No plans yet. Maybe I'll stay home and get fatter. Or maybe I'll do something crazy and wreckless, like drive to San Francisco. Why not?
