More miscellany

Hey, if you didn't catch it last time I mentioned it, check out 2006in2006. It's my stepdad's New Year's resolution- to bake 2006 servings of baked goods in the year 2006. He's done 323 so far. He posts pictures and a running count, as well as some recipes and descriptions of the circumstances surrounding the baking. I think it's an awesome idea, and some of the pictures have turned out really well (especially that one of the croissants, second picture down).

Today was church. The forum, about Oscar predictions this week, was led by Robert Butler, movie reviewer for the KC Star. I have found him to be extremely consistent about disagreeing with me, which is quite useful. All I have to do to know if I'll enjoy a movie is check out what he had to say about it; if he didn't like it, I'll like it, and if he liked it, I won't. I told him this, and he said he was glad to be of service.

My iChat is possessed by a demon. Maybe it's the same demon living in Shannon's phone at Student Activities. (It rings when no one's calling, even when it's unplugged.)

The library lockin will be April first, no joke. If anyone needs a form, stop by the library and ask for David or Kathy. Eric is too old to go this year, so he's going to be a chaperone. That amuses me greatly. I hope Emily's going to chaperone. The teen group was so much better when she and David were leading it. Kathy does her best, but it's not the same. Anyway, I'm going to flip through the Saint Rose books to find something to ask Bill to make for the lockin.

(By the way, I'm not really angry. I just want to use this moodtheme pic, because it's an awesome pic and I love it.)

A lockin is when forty teenagers, ten adults, two stereos, and a bunch of food are sealed into a library at 8:30 PM on a Saturday and left there until seven the following morning. Last time, in July '05, activities included a spelling bee, board games, a workshop type thing on astronomy, movies, video games, Twister, and TPing the children's section.

I find the concept boggling, much like cricket, but more power to you.

Oh, and hackeysacking.

It's quite fun. Sleeping, you may guess, does not generally occur.
