• 22:50 Yay! #
• 09:44 Apparently there is now a (hash) anglo-cath twitter tag. I would be more excited about this if I knew how to get a hash (British mac). #
• 10:10 @white_hart That's a relief! I mean, it would have given me an excuse not to write my thesis, but it's a bit excessive..... #
• 10:54 I've worked out why I'm finding this text difficult. It's written in jargon (er, yes, that should have been immediately apparent, but...) #
• 11:49 Thank you parish website: "British Summer Time starts on Sunday 29 March. Please adjust your watches or you may be (very) late for mass." #
• 14:26 @ParrotKnight If the Times can't understand this, who will? (And why the photo of Murphy-O'Connor with bonus out-of-focus Rowan Williams?) #

• 14:46 @ParrotKnight I know about MSJ's views on gays, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the Archbishop of Westminster (or am I being dim?) #
• 15:17 @ParrotKnight Ah, I'd missed that. For some reason I'm not surprised, though... #
• 15:54 I really want a bacon sandwich. Or a steak. Nice rare steak would be even better.... I'm not even hungry, I just really want meat - aargh! #
• 16:40 @GMWWemyss That does sound quite appealing, actually, thank you! #
• 16:42 @ParrotKnight Because I'm whinging about it? In an odd sort of way, you may be right. #
• 17:32 Oh mp3 of Hannes Wader singing "Moorsoldaten," why won't you open? #
• 19:42 @ParrotKnight That wasn't shocked silence, that was me shopping and making dinner... #

Oh, the Eldrege book-- the one he and his wife co-wrote-- annoyed me so much. I was informed that 'women do not ache to be geniuses'.

Sez you. I did. These days I'll settle for being a good coder, but I am not anyone's damsel princess, thank you.

The man's a fool (as the comment about Wallace the Bruce and Mother Theresa demonstrates; I'm not sure what version of the Bible he's read, but it's not the one I've got by my bed....), and it would be funny if it wasn't for the fact that some people took it seriously.

To quote CS Lewis: You can't say 'be good, sweet maid, and let who can be clever'; it's more a case of 'be good, sweet maid, and don't forget that that also means being as clever as you can!'
