matrixrefugee | Good trip to Lowell and the libraries (Reply)

I thought today was gonna be a bad one: I woke up late for my appointment with my therapist, so I had to call in and reschedule it for slightly later this afternoon. Which worked out well: it was cold this morning, and I really didn't want to stand in the cold waiting for the bus (the stupid Department of Public Works in this town still hasn't plowed the dumb sidewalk in front of my house, but the snow has melted down somewhat...). I'm less stressed about the up-coming neurological evaluation, though I'm still a leetle perturbed about St. Valentine's Day coming...

Nipped into the Lowell library long enough to get a couple CDs: the soundtracks for "Fantasia 2000" (which I have yet to see: I *LOVE* the original 1940 version), and the Disney version of "Hunchback of Notre Dame" (Don't shoot me: I liked it).

And mom and I got to the Tewksbury Library tonight: I renewed Orson Scott Card's "Enchantment" and Bocaccio's "Decameron", and...

I got that evil book out.

Yep.

The Matrix Refugee took out "The Da Vinci Code". I'm reading it just to see what all the yelling is about. And partly, yes, for inspiration for my own novel "Meroveque", which is *my* answer to it. And it'll be completely free from Catholic-bashing, too.

I leave you with two links that are helping me through it, these to an extremely funny DVC parody by a Catholic (who also wrote a very good book which defuses the worst of the Catholic-bashing in the DVC, "The Da Vinci Hoax"):
