It sometimes happens this way.

Despite our yelling and cheering, the Red Sox lost today's game, and are therefore out of contention for the World Series. I am growing a soft spot for the White Sox (who beat the Red Sox) due to the fact that they haven't won a World Series since 1917. Who knows! If they win this year, perhaps we will also learn about what really happened to Anastasia. ::is a dork:: But, poor Jen is feeling badly about the whole affair. And I didn't go riot! I'm not sure if there was rioting because it was late and I wasn't about to find out firsthand. It is hilarious how they lock all of the gates, except for the rather large one right next to our dorm. Apparently they don't mind grad school students being killed. Most of us also did not go home for Columbus Day break, unlike lots and lots of underclasswomen. (Note: I'm only guessing about this because all of the people in choir were going home except for me.) Plus, they are making us go over to Emmanuel College for our meals this weekend, which is very bamafied. Though, I should be happy that they are serving us anything at all, because at Mary Wash, I had to fend for myself during breaks.

My light was fixed today! And I was happy. I would have been happier with myself if I did more homework.

So, I'm reading about the Saints, and how to become one, and yesterday I was on the chapter of miracles and how there are some beatified people out there who are waiting for a miracle to be canonized. Except, they are so old that people have forgotten to pray to them when they need a miracle, so the chances of them ever becoming a saint is pretty slim to none. Of course, I got this whole scientific process going in my head about how I would find a novena for one of them, and pray to them every day that my vision would be returned to me and therefore saving the day for some poor dead person in limbo, as well as seeing if novenas really worked. Except, God doesn't work scientifically, it's all about the faith. So you really have to believe that it will work in order for it to. Plus, I could only find novenas for actual saints, none for blessed individuals. The whole idea is intriquing to me. Especially because of how I was raised, very much Protestant. I remember being younger in a Catholic church and thinking those around me were some form of heathen because they would pray to the Virgin Mary. I was always taught that that was some form of idol worship and was very much evil. Which is so odd, because my heritage is, for the most part, Catholic. That being said, I am contemplating starting a novena to St. Lucy, as she is the patron saint of the blind. Do you think this is wrong? Especially since I'm not Catholic? I don't think this book was supposed to make me think this seriously about my faith, but it has. Perhaps too much.

I am enjoying a new BFM find. It is called Le Roi Soleil and is currently playing in Paris before going on tour. I can't tell that much about it, other than it seems to be about the Sun King and his many love-life adventures. Those crazy French people! They will write musicals on anything. My new icon is from it, but it is sadly lacking words, or something. Any suggestions? Cause I'm horrible at things like that.

Here is a single that they released for the show: Etre a la Hauteur. It gets exciting about 2 1/2 minutes into it. They now have the Integral version out. Too bad I'm so poor.

From another show (Les Enfants du Soleil), this song Les Enfants du Soleil really reminds me of a song from Graal. Or maybe it is just me. I really know nothing about this show. The cover art for the dvd is pretty, though.
