Friendster. Think sixdegrees for those that remember so long ago (2 years)… But not quite as evolved…
Here’s the “Andrei sent you” link:
93!
Every now and then I have an attack of. “Yeah, I need to do that.” Since priesting my first Mass I have been very hooked into the Mass and need to do more. One of the ‘not so local’ lodges (Serpentine Splendour) is performing the mass today at 3pm. I decided before rehearsal for an upcoming rite last night that I was going to attend if I could.
Note: this lodge is based in Las Vegas.
I called the voicemail number and asked if they would mind a brother from L.A. coming out. Fortunately, their lodge master has been at my mass and was more than thrilled to hear that I wanted to come out.
He offered to put me up when I got in. I was surprised because I told him I was going to leave after rehearsal and likely to get in between 3 and 4 am. No problem says he. And such it would be.
I left rehearsal last night at Blue Horizon’s main meeting place. The car and bag already packed for a weekend. Mapsonus in hand (I think I am the only person who likes that sites directions) I hopped on the hiway.
I have been pre-screened for apnea; which explains why it is so easy for me to fall asleep in the car. I also know how to wire myself on caffiene.
Chatting with heather by IM at stops along the first leg. Blaring I tunes the rest of the way. I made it in at 3:45 and was greeted by a tired but friendly lodgemaster.
I went in the guest room and my heart was still racing from the caffiene. I left an IM for Heather to let her know I was in safely. I chatted briefly with the author of Xjournal for the mac (I am an advance tester, see the communtiy of the same name)
Then I ran thru resh, the ruby, and the mass in my head. Sadly… I wake up at 6am during the week. So now I am trying to ply myself back to sleep for a few hrs before mass.
I am still very wired. I will sleep like the dead tonight.
I do promise to post pictures and comments from my mass this weekend. I have just been waiting for it to sink in.
More soon,

People, let’s say it together again. Lock your screen, or log off. Leaving yourself logged in openly at the office is a bad thing, because any idiot can use your system
This one came in from someone on my friends list that I don’t talk to very often. It turned out to not be them…
