Things Observed This Week: 2/23/09-2/27/09

There were lots of heathens walking around in Midtown on Ash Wednesday, the HOchieS included.

Whoever the priest was at St. Pat's Cathedral (we assume), he did a fantastic job with the crosses this year.

Man, that was some good work.

Next up - after my stomach virus attack three weeks ago that caused me to do my most hated action (why was it not out the ass, instead?!), I'm not yet ready to eat chicken and eggplant in garlic sauce. I know it was not food poisoning but I was still turned off today. Hopefully that ends soon because that'd be a sad thing to give up. Side note: I hope I didn't ruin that dish for anyone else either.

Finally, sometimes we feel that God hates poor people but he really was looking out for the HOchieS today and forgave us a mistake we made. It was a stupid mistake that could have cost us our lives while crossing the street but we're thankful we are here, unharmed.

That was truly terrifying, and we remember to also be thankful that Frass, MC and X are okay after their related ordeals.

Currently listening to: "Decisive Battle" by Shiro Sagisu, from the Neon Genesis Evangelion Original Soundtrack I.

Lent

It's the beginning of Lent.

As H1 always says, we are recovering Catholics.

We don't usually give something up for Lent, per say but this year, we've decided that we will.

This year we will be giving up wishing MC a Happy Birthday.
