dream

I was attending a wedding. The bride and groom were trying to rival T&J's wedding - instead of having someone sing one cortina, they were having two people sing cantinas. I was taking photos of the lip synch performance, and then got swept into the folk dance where Tom Cruise started flirting with me. There may have been gladiators too. I had to leave the party for something so *reality* I woke myself up and will now go to return the rental.

Man, I have so much homework to do.

QCMerch

I know a number of you read Questionable Content. Anyone ever order anything from their store? I have been having issues with an order from them - over and above the PayPal issues they talked about on the main page, and I'm wondering just how patient I should be. I ordered a shirt from them mid-April that PayPal never informed them about. So that's not their fault, but then they told me they shipped it May 10, and I replied end of May that I never got it, and they haven't replied back. I just sent them another email asking if they're sorting it out or if I should ask PayPal for a refund, since I never got it. I don't *want* a refund, I want my "Music + Science = Sexy"!

Benedict

Before Benedict became pope, the Catholic Church had begun a far deeper reckoning with Christian roots of the Holocaust, and that led to a profound shift in basic claims made about the Jewish religion. Most importantly, the church had affirmed the permanent integrity of God's covenant with the Jewish people, leading to the renunciation of the ancient impulse to convert Jews. But last March, in an address delivered at St. Peter's Square, Benedict issued ``a summons to all Israel to conversion," urging Jews ``to allow themselves to be reunited in a new covenant, full and perfect accomplishment of the old."
