Today and Last Friday

[matrixrefugee]

LAST FRIDAY -- Went to First Friday devotions at St. Joseph's in Lowell. I also found a minute to print out a few emails and to nip into the Barnes & Noble to buy Carl Olson and Sandra Meisel's "The Da Vinci Hoax", a book written from a Catholic POV that unravels the snarled-up history and mythology in the infamous "Da Vinci Code" novel, as well as exploding the anti-Catholic canards that fill the book.

TODAY -- Not very eventful, except that I went to work and my dad has gone down to Hershey, PA for the antique car show... He's going for just the one day, he'll be driving back tomorrow afternoon. Part of me wishes I was going, but I gotta work and pay off the money I owe myself for the sci-fi convention....



Oh, and I've got a new LJ icon, of Desire from the "Sandman" series, which you can see above. I know Death and Delirium are the perennial favorites of the fans, but I think Desire is a reeeal *hottie*; and if the Endless really existed, I would have the most experience, bothersome and otherwise, with him/her...

Oh no, i forgot it was the first Friday today!! I had to work so i probably couldn't have made it to Mass anyhow.
I think the "Da Vinci Code" is a load of crap, too. I'd like to read the book u got!

Nope, First Friday was last week: I didn't post hardly anything that week since I was so horribly depressed, so the past few entries have been double entries, chronicling two weeks of events.

The book I'm reading, "The Da Vinci Hoax" by Carl Olsen and Sandra Miesel, juust came out from Ignatius Press: I was puzzled that the local Barnes & Noble bookstore had it and the Catholic book/gift shop just around the corner from it didn't, but then again, the B&N *does* carry the dratted "Da Vinci Code"... I was just talking recently with a friend online, who lives in Paris, and she told me that there's some church near her apartment, which is featured in the book and how that church has a big sign on the door informing the tourists that if they're looking for *whatever the heck symbol* was used in "The Da Vinci Code", that said symbol does not appear on a wall inside that church.
