And I love you still.
Apr. 8th, 2007 12:21 amHappy Easter!
It's funny, I was talking to a friend on the phone while getting ready to go to the Easter Vigil mass. She said it sounded boring to her. And man, it totally can be.
( But, when you think about all the stuff that happens during Holy Week... )
Anyway, we lucked out at the Vigil this year. Only one baptism and nine confirmations. We got out of there in two and a half hours, rather than three.
As long as we're talking religion, might as well throw Alanis Morissette's "Still" out there as an Easter present. I mean, we could have gone with all the sonorous chanting religious music I have, but I dunno. I kinda like a God who is everywhere and everything, and yet doesn't smite me through all my stupidity.
ETA: Flidget reminded me of this! I first saw it through Twig, who got it from Ann. Five other people have shown it to me, and I am not tired of it yet. It remains awesome each time. Can't spoil it-- let us just say remember when Benedict was first elected and everyone kept comparing him to Palpatine?
Also, as long as I dumping more pope stuff out here for the masses-- revel, I say revel in the fact you can now purchase cologne to make you smell like the Pope. (Pius, version 9.)
We obtained this formula from descendants of the commander of his Papal Guard and lifelong friend, General Charles Charette. We have followed this complex, exclusive formula meticulously, using the same essential oils that his perfumers used 150 years ago. We believe that we have succeeded in capturing the same fragrance that he and those around him enjoyed so long ago. This is a truly extraordinary cologne with surprising freshness and notes of violet and citrus.
Spot-on.
