Service rehearsal went well last night. We hashed out who's doing the various connecting bits between the items on the order of service, and we practiced our mini-sermons. It seems to be drawing together.
-----------------------
The people who make the signs listing the official Noyes community center summer hours have obviously not actually talked to the people who open and maintain the building. I know this because the computer lab was supposed to be open 8am-5pm yesterday and today. Yesterday the lab was locked. Today, the whole building was locked.
Therefore, I am in Olin library, where I can't eat or drink. Bah.
------------------------
A number of families on Auburn St. hold coordinated yard sales in August. (August is the prime yard sale time in Ithaca, so as to catch all the returning students who need to furnish their apartments cheaply.) This year, the sale was today. I bought Octavia Butler's Kindred, Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, and a very nice picture frame, for $4 total.
Of course, this means my stack of books to read is now well over 20 books deep, but whatever. I'll get around to them sooner or later. Heck, I'm currently 1/3 of the way through Walter Miller, Jr.'s A Canticle for Leibowitz, which had been in the pile for about two years! (And I like it so far, too.)
-----------------------
I've been reading Bleach scanlations online. I think I'm near the end of volume 6, and, so far, I like it. Nothing earthshaking, but definitely good entertainment. I confess that I like the beauty and delicacy of typical shoujo art, but I also really like the clarity of typical shounen. Tite Kubo does not disappoint in that respect (though his people are all so damn thin...).
Anyway, it's kind of weird reading the manga after vaguely stumbling through the fringes of the fandom for a year or so, because suddenly a whole bunch of things I'd skimmed in passing make sense.
Also, Orihime is LOVE. :-)
