Deraldin Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 And right now I'm still reeling about tonights episode of "House." Wow. I don't want to spoil it in case anyone DVR'd it and hasn't watched it yet, but that caught me totally by surprise. Considering I've only been watching about every other week, the whole thing seemed to come completely out of left field when I watched it. It was a pretty big "WTF?" moment.

Walsingham Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Today I found out that a girl who is in a few of my classes and her family were murdered over spring break. Apparently everyone else found out on Friday and I'm the last to know. That is entirely ****ed up. Indeed. That is just ...I dunno. "It wasn't lies.

Aristes Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 It's not like I'm particularly interesting or left any kind of impression. Apparently, she thinks otherwise. Go say hi, see what happens.

I don't want to spoil it in case anyone DVR'd it and hasn't watched it yet, but that caught me totally by surprise. slug: Man up, approach, and say hi. ...And smile. ...But not some creepy smile. LC: I'm so glad you mentioned the House episode without spoiling. I DID DVR it and now I'm really interested in seeing what's what. For myself, I'm heading out to be a pall bearer at a funeral. Planting another friend today. Hell of a thing.

Avoid Googling, it made a huge media article splash and writers aren't being very careful even w/their headlines. *shrug* For myself, I'm heading out to be a pall bearer at a funeral. I may be going to a funeral soon myself, before long. Spring doesn't seem too cheery this year...

Missed that one ... that's messed up. Can't say much more than that. Edited April 7, 2009 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Well, my father has died. Wasn't close to him, so my mourning is muted/low-key and perhaps not typical - I mourn for my mother more than anything else. But he was a highly respectable human being...he lived more from his bed/wheelchair than many do with two good legs and arms, and in the end, one could romantically consider that after 35 years my dad "beat" his disease and that the natural peace of old age took him, instead. A fitting eulogy, perhaps. “Things are as they are.

taks Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 sorry for your loss. my dad's death (nov., 2007) did serious damage to me. we did have a fairly adversarial relationship, however, but he was still daddy to me. my mother has done well alone and i'm sure she'll continue to do well for quite some time. she'll be here next week in fact, for john's 6th birthday. taks comrade taks... just because.

Did you participate in the "Blessing of the Sun"? Jews perform sun ritual for first time in 28 years Apr 8, 8:21 AM (ET) By MARK LAVIE JERUSALEM (AP) - Devout Jews around the world on Wednesday observed a ritual performed only once every 28 years, saying their morning prayers under the open sky in a ceremony called the "blessing of the sun." Tens of thousands of worshippers stood next to the Western Wall in Jerusalem's walled Old City, the holiest site where Jews can pray. Hundreds headed to the ancient desert fortress of Masada, while others prayed on the roof of a Tel Aviv high-rise and congregated on road sides. "God created the world in seven days," said Yona Vogel, one of the estimated 50,000 who attended the Western Wall prayers. "On the fourth day he put the sun into orbit and every 28 years it returns to the original place that it stood when God created the world." The special blessing - called the Birkat Hachamah in Hebrew - was marked in many time zones, starting with members of the small Jewish community in New Zealand. In hundreds of places, from Israel and Italy to New Zealand and Kyrgyzstan, observant Jews rose before dawn for outdoor prayers and dancing. The prayer came on the eve of the weeklong Passover festival, in which Jews commemorate the exodus from slavery in Egypt. The timing was coincidental, but added to the joyous feeling felt by many worshippers. In New York City, a rabbi was to lead a morning gathering near the United Nations. Another group was to pray on the deck of a 17th-story penthouse near ground zero, the site of the demolished World Trade Center. A Birkat Hachamah ceremony in 1981 was held on the 107th-story observation deck of the World Trade Center's South Tower, and the rabbi was dedicating Wednesday's blessing to the memory of those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Organizers of a ceremony on the boardwalk in Long Beach, New York, on Long Island, said they would distribute sunglasses to worshippers. But they might go unused; the forecast was for a cloudy morning. The Orthodox Jewish Chabad-Lubavitch movement scheduled live Webcasts from seven locations as the sun moved across the Earth, starting at 8 a.m. local time in Christchurch, New Zealand, followed by events in Brisbane, Australia; Jerusalem; London; New York; Colorado Springs, Colo.; and Honolulu. An especially colorful ceremony was reported by The New York Times in 1897, when a rabbi was arrested for presiding over the ritual as hundreds of Jews assembled without a permit in a city park. He and another rabbi tried to explain what they were doing to a police officer. "The attempt of a foreign citizen to explain to an American Irishman an astronomical situation and a tradition of the Talmud was a dismal failure," the Times reported, adding that the officer, wondering "whether some new infection of lunacy had broken out ... seized the rabbi by the neck and took him to Essex Market Police Court." Devout Jews emphasize that they are not worshipping the sun, but rather paying homage to God. "We make a special blessing on this day to remember the day that God created the world and put the sun into orbit. It's as though he is creating the world anew," Vogel said. Modern science may have overtaken the astronomy of the scriptures, but scholars say the blessing still has symbolic value as acknowledgment of the divine role in the universe.

Everyone I know is hunkering down (figuratively speaking) for no bread, except for me, because I'm just that awesome that I blatantly ignore the dictates of my religion. Did you participate in the "Blessing of the Sun"? Nope. The last time I did any sort of formalized prayer was at my grandfathers funeral, and before that it was at my bar mitzvah. Not the most religious, I know, but whatever. That's why they have the LHC, right?

Daaave Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Last night I got very drunk, vomited, then slept under a trenchcoat on one cushion of a sofa. Good night I'd say. Today I'm poor so I'm going to stay in and eat on account of having nothing yesterday. Which, in retrospect, probably didn't help with the whole vomiting issue.

It seems like the Aussie way of celebrating easter is to gorge themselves with something called "Hot Cross Buns" Renegotiated my employment contract this week. Got a nice pay raise. I should probably celebrate. Too tired to though “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

taks Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Renegotiated my employment contract this week. Got a nice pay raise. I should probably celebrate. Too tired to though i did that earlier this year as well. at least, i pointed out inconsistencies between what my boss said when i was hired, what he said last year at "raise time," and what he said this year at "raise time" (which was in january). it worked out OK. that was the first time i ever practiced the tough guy routine with an employer. taks comrade taks... just because.
Shryke Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 It seems like the Aussie way of celebrating easter is to gorge themselves with something called "Hot Cross Buns" show some respect for quite possibly the tastiest bakery food in existence or i will ****ing cut you when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Syraxis Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Have off from class today, good friday is good. About to watch Ghost in the Shell DVD, always liked the series on Adult swim when TV was still tolerable to me. Haven't watched the series & movies in full to get a coherent grasp on the story, good way to kill some time on a day off.
