matrixrefugeeI managed to find a minute today, between housework and getting ready to go to work at the grocery store, just to check in about a few things. Fun things for a change!
YESTERDAY
*Trip to Lowell -- Went into Lowell with my mom, in the morning. I didn't sleep too good the night before, and I had to go to work tomorrow plus do laundry, so I went home right after we went to confession... And I think I have a new confessor! I can't tell all the particulars of our conversation of course, but the priest I received the Sacrament from, we'll call him "Father Karl", is a younger man (maybe in his late forties) who just got transferred in from Detroit... And he's got a teensy but of a temper the way I do: he's not afraid to speak his mind about certain things, and he's kind of a likably tough guy, like --yep! -- the priest Karl Malden played in "On the Waterfront". I like him already!
*The Camper -- My dad and I discovered that it has a VCP! It's got a TV in the back, and we discovered in a little cupboard thing right next to the TV, that it has a VCP. Only trouble is, the VCP doesn't work: we can't even get a tape to go into it. Sooo, he's gonna see if someone can take a look at it. Hm... maybe it'll take a DVD player instead???
TODAY
*Mark Called -- I've gotten over the mild hissy-fit I had with my buddy Mark over a certain very touchy issue (talking with "Father Karl" about it helped a lot). Aaand I was just about to vacuum the rugs upstairs this morning, when my mom brings the phone up to me. And it's Mark on the line, doing one of his funny phone messages: This time he was pretending to be the Frenchman from the "Matrix" series, doing a pitch for his bid for the presidential election. Now that made me laugh right out loud!
*The End of the RP Worries -- I've managed to get through my headaches over the RP problems: I've successfully ironed out the very minor qualms between me and the other player whose character and mine were starting to get on each other's nerves. The fact that our GM's D&D game got cancelled (a tragedy she shared with us) helped me make up my mind to stay with the game. Funny how things like that can affect other people...
