I worked on the SEIU stuff today, pairing with Alec, and together we got a whole
lot done.
At St Mark's, the Priest Who Hugs Everyone told us a bit about
William
White, whose feast day it is. It seems the church was just as much divided
in those days over many things. The PWHE told us (there was quite a crowd for a
lunchtime service, more than half a dozen) that because it was so hot, on our
way back we should take care as we walk... in love, as Christ loved us and gave
himself up for us. And so it segued back into the liturgy.
Someone on our diocesan mailing list mentioned a church in Dallas called St
Thomas the Apostle. I was interested in what they said, so I looked them up
online, and they have the wonderful domain
thedoubter.org ("Our patron,
Thomas the Apostle, is also known as Thomas the Doubter... Christ did not rebuke
Thomas for his questions and skepticism... the parish tries to engage questions,
doubts and skepticism faithfully.") How cool is that? If I'm ever in Dallas I'll
try to pay them a visit. They also have a rather nifty
item-by-item
description of the order of service for those who are visiting and
unfamiliar with formal, liturgical worship; I think explanations of why we do
the apparently weird things we do ought to be more common. So, good for them.
I'm trying to compile gnome-control-center so that I can write a patch for it,
but things keep breaking along the way. Currently, for example, hal is requiring
some library called libvolume_id, with no clue as to where to get it. jhbuild is
none the wiser as to what to do.
Wikipedia
seems
to think that making a typed alphabetical card catalogue of all your books
and stuff in your room as a kid is something high-functioning autistic people
do. I thought maybe everyone did that. The nonfiction section of mine was
actually in Dewey order for a while.
No pizza this Monday, since Sharon was making halpukis and brought a bunch over
for us. I don't like them, so I ate fishsticks instead, and I burned the top of
the inside of my mouth on them. It hurts quite a lot.
Floatyfish was here with
Firinel and together they
went out and got me some stuff, and I am very touched.
I am very sleepy.
