I am glad they turned on the AC for the building, because, despite the coolness of the air in the morning (47 degrees right now), it will get hotter in the day, and the AC will be needed. But the way the weather is, it also means when one goes out in the morning, one needs [...]

It’s amazing how cool it has become

What happened to sleep?
Posted in Sleep on April 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Last night, I woke up an hour early, and my sleep was disturbed before then. Alas. I did sleep with weird dreams, once again. I don’t remember what they were now, I just remember waking up wondering how I had such dreams.
It was interesting to find out that a professor whose works I used to [...]
Good Thing I Don’t Have To Drive Today
Posted in Sleep, tagged DC on April 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The roads around DC are going to be bad — very bad — today. Not only will we have all the problems rain causes in the middle of rush hour, many truckers are coming to DC today to protest the rising gas prices. It’s going to be crazy on the streets. While I do not [...]
Sunday Snooze
Posted in Rain, tagged Doctor Who on April 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I slept in a bit later than normal. This must be because of how comfortable it is in here now with the AC being on. I had a weird dream where I was driving a long distance back home, but I was constantly getting lost (even though I know the way by heart) and I was constantly finding myself on [...]
Let there be Air Conditioning
Posted in CUA on April 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Finally, the AC has been turned on in my apartment building. We’ve had a few hot days in a row, and it’s been difficult relying upon fans and open windows alone to stay cool. But now with the AC, it’s easier to sleep at night, and easier to work during the day. I’ve needed it.
Yesterday [...]
Well, That was That
Posted in CUA on April 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The headache tried to stay with me all day yesterday, after starting up on Weds. However, it was mild and almost not there — instead of the nasty way it made itself known when it first came upon me. So, hopefully, today I can get some work done.
Which is what I plan to do at [...]
What a Headache
Posted in headache on April 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Well, that’s what I’ve had over the last day. A headache which won’t go away. It is still there, although right now it is not as painful as it was yesterday.
But it did mean I didn’t get as good a sleep as I wanted. I even woke up with dreams affected by the headache. I [...]
Just What I Needed
Posted in Sleep on April 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday, I had to take several naps to make it through the day. But I was finally able to catch up enough to stay up for the evening and go to bed at my normal time. I woke up around 2 am this morning thinking “oh, no, not again.” But I was able to get [...]
Bad Night
Posted in Sleep on April 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
For some reason, last night was the worst night sleep I’ve had for sometime. While I’ve had some trouble back and forth, last night, I woke up a little after one, and couldn’t get back to sleep. I stayed in bed, laying there for several hours, trying to still let my body rest, because it [...]
Rain… Rain… Rain…
Posted in Rain, Sleep on April 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
For the past day, we have been having off and on rain — some of it is heavy, some of it is light, and sometimes, with thunder. We have had two tornadoes which touched down in the area, one upon a school, lifting the roof and flooding it inside. We won’t be getting any relief from the rain [...]
Sunday of the Samaritan Woman
Posted in Church, Doctor Who on April 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Today, in the Byzantine Calendar, is the Sunday of the Samaritan Woman, who met Jesus by the well and was told by Jesus that he offers the waters of life.
The Samaritan Woman came to the well with faith and saw You, the Master of Wisdom. You satisfied the thirst of her soul, and she inherited [...]
Saturday: Getting Back to Normal
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged cleaning, Pope on April 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I was tired Friday and had to take the day to rest. I read a bit, and I went to go see a movie (The Forbidden Kingdom). But through it, I was able to get myself back — to rest to catch up on missing sleep, but also to relax and move back to normal [...]
Panis Angelicus

I found this on youtube and decided to share Placido Domingo’s Panis Angelicus with everyone who didn’t get to hear it yet.
What a Wonderful Mass
Posted in CUA, tagged Mass, Pope on April 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday was a long day, but a very good day. I got up early, and got out to the metro by 5 am. I was at the stadium for the mass by 6, and I was able to get to confession early, before the crowds piled up. But even in the wee hours of the morning, [...]
Today is the Pope’s Birthday
Posted in CUA on April 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I thought about going to CUA today. But I now have decided against it. Some of the places I would have gone to are closed, which would make the trip less than worth the time it would take to get there. And it certainly will be crowded, more than normal, because of the Pope’s visit. [...]
The Pope Arrives in DC Today
Posted in Church on April 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The city is going to be getting real busy real quick. I know the mass on Thursday is going to be a crowd like no other — and while I don’t normally like crowds, I will accept it just this once for the Pope. It will be quite interesting to see the reception of his [...]
I Got My Ticket
Posted in Church, Sleep on April 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I was getting a bit concerned that the tickets might have been lost in the mail, but St Gregory’s finally got them and I was able to get my ticket to the papal mass yesterday. Sadly, they are high up in the “nose-bleeds” but, despite that, I will be there. I doubt you will be [...]
It Cooled Down Overnight
Posted in Sleep on April 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday, was my Doctor Who day. I got the new Doctor Who audio in the mail, and Doctor Who was shown on BBC (and I was able to find a way to watch it soon afterwards). So after I stayed up watching Doctor Who last night, I went to bed and listened to the audio.
My room was [...]
WordPress is going weird in the heat
Posted in Sleep on April 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I wrote a post, and now I see it has been lost. I don’t know what happened to it. Something odd is going on with WordPress as they change how the blog-interaction works.
My apartment is quite hot. It is now cooling down, but the heat from the spring weather is difficult to overcome when there is [...]
Going to be a Long Day
Posted in Uncategorized on April 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I had a nice dinner/conversation last night with one of my fellow bloggers from Vox Nova, Morning’s Minion. We get together every so often — when both of us are free; each time that means late nights for me. I was up past 10, but I still woke up only 30 mins later than normal, and so I know [...]
Clearly Spring
Posted in Sleep on April 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
For now, Spring is back. After a somewhat dreary morning yesterday, the sun came out and made for a fairly bright day. Today will only continue on after that, except it will be even warmer than it was yesterday.
I’m still having problems with my fatigue; it seems to be one of those weeks, requiring more [...]
Did Someone Leave The Heat On?
Posted in Apartment, coffee on April 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday, I went to Starbucks to try to get some more coffee/wake up in the middle of the day. When I was there, it just seemed unseemly hot inside; I think they still have the heater when when it wasn’t needed. Of course, it is was an odd Starbucks, with two levels (the second one [...]
Egads, not again…
Posted in Sleep on April 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday, as I feared, was a day I was tired. I fell asleep for a bit mid-day. I couldn’t do much — I did get some reading done, but that was about it.
And I went to bed very tired last night, but woke up early, after I kept waking up throughout the night. I fear my [...]
I Won One of The Tickets
Posted in Church, Sleep on April 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday, three names were randomly chosen to go see the Pope – and I was one who had their name picked up. So it looks like I will be at a papal mass — now I just need to get the ticket itself. Then I need to get there (but that should not be a problem [...]
Doctor Who Returns

Well, the new series of Doctor Who has started, and people were surprised with this one quick scene:

I really expected something like that at the end of the last season; I was off by only a couple episodes. Everything is getting prepared for the final, and I have some guesses about the relevance of a [...]
Changes — Which I Don’t Like
Posted in Sleep on April 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
WordPress has changed the format for their blog and how one writes and uses it. So far it is not as easy as it was, and it seems to require more computer power and memory use to work with it. I am sure they will tweak all their changes, but I am always going to [...]
Sleep Schedule is Off Again
Posted in Sleep on April 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I thought it was getting better; last night I just couldn’t stay awake, and went to bed early, and of course, this means I woke up early today. I am going to have to struggle not to do that again.
My hands are feeling better this morning — I tried to give them a rest yesterday, [...]
Some return to sanity?
Posted in pain on April 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Well, my hands do not feel exactly as bad with the arthritis pains, but my middle left finger still is quite sore, and feels like it is sore in ways which transcend arthritis. I really don’t know why, and it doesn’t hurt all the time, just if I move it some ways, the pain comes [...]
Sleep? My Body Demands More
Posted in Sleep on April 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday was another day where my body felt totally drained by mid-day, and I went to bed early. I didn’t sleep in this time. I woke up about thirty minutes earlier than my “average” or expected time. I am not sure what that will mean for my energy levels today.
I also went to bed last [...]
Still Catching Up On All That Sleep
Posted in Sleep, headache on April 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Despite getting a good night’s sleep, I was tired yesterday, and went to bed early — not too early, but early. I had a headache developing by the end of the day, and I woke up with it – it is minor, but there. I’ve taken some advil for it, but it is still there. [...]
