Yesterday was my birthday. I was far too occupied being in a good mood to write, I'm afraid. I got lots of nice email and talked to my mom on the phone, and due to various conspiracies there was cake for me at gaming. I have no complaints -- well, it would have been nice if Earl could have been here, and it'd also have been nice if Czr hadn't been in Wisconsin. But they're pretty minor complaints, all in all.

I finished The Sparrow yesterday morning, and have definitely decided to go to St. Joseph's this Sunday. I think I'm resigned, at this point, to the fact that if I end up being part of any religion it'll be Catholicism. Intellectually I agree much more with Judaism, but my emotions & intuition tell me that Catholicism is right for me and nothing else is. Jim and I stayed up until 2:30 last night talking about this, among other things.

I'm not sure what I'm going to read next. I need to stop by Bookbuyers and pick up the next few Thieves' World books. I'm planning to go home a little early, to make up for working too much earlier in the week. I want to play The Evil Game prior to 2030, which is when Jim&Czr&I are supposed to have dinner with Rachel & Jeremy -- if Czr is back from Wisconsin by then, which I believe he should be.

That's it. Another short entry. What else should I say? I'm still spending the majority of my free time with Jim & Czr. Rachel and I are going shopping on Sunday. I have homework to do this weekend, plus I plan to play lots of TEG and finally catch up on my sleep. I am *so* tired right now that it's just silly.
