[+] It’s paining me that I can’t write long meaningful things like I used to do in 2003 and 2004.Â? I mean, I’m now home again and my life *is* interesting — I just haven’t been able to articulate a lot of things on here because after what happened last September, I’ve become more private about my life.

[+] My faith life lately has been exploring Orthodox Christianity and attempting to reconnect to my liturgical side since I am seriously missing liturgy.Â? There’s a part of me that wants to attend Anglican services agan (in Canada of course — Anglicans and Episcopalians don’t exactly exist here) if for no other reason than it’s what I imprinted on.Â? (Yes Pisco, I know I need to haul butt to DC and visit you.)

[+] I have been ignoring most media outlets other than Countdown lately as I’m sick of seeing people dying in Lebanon and I don’t really give a rat’s butt about the JonBenet case which was *already* overhyped.Â? The War in Iraq just depresses me and I have so little respect for the president that I don’t want to even see him speak.Â? Thank goodness for DVR technology which lets me flip through a TV program to the parts I want.Â? (In this case: ODDBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Â? Oh yeah, and whoever happens to be the Worst Person in the World for that day in case it’s Bill O’Reilly.)

[+] I have decided that I have no desire to see Snakes on a Plane.Â? I’m terrified of snakes that have a shot at killing me (which sucks because we have rattlers around here) and the movie was overhyped.Â? Besides, I’m now in a place where I kinda have to fly so I don’t want to deal with the thought of cobras and pythons on my Alaska Airlines flight.
