Home stretch!
In which our Heroine issues of Brief Missive about the current State of Affairs
For those of your just joining me (or who'm I've recently added to my circle): Hello! Welcome (back) my friends, back to the show that never ends (and never strays from the use of hackneyed cliche).
Recent stuff:
-I just bought plane tickets back to Boston for August 4th- 13th- anyone going to be there around that time and want to meet up?
While buying tickets, I tried to pay, and I kept getting a strange error message: "Name on credit card must be written only with alphabetic characters." The Jet Blue's computers would not accept my legal last name , the one on my passport and birth certificate, as being valid because it contains a hyphen. Who the hell thought that restriction up? Has there been a rash of people spelling their names on credit cards with numbers instead of letters? Like "k1t3w1thf1sh"? What goofy programmer thought that not allowing hyphens was a valid option here?
I doubt it will affect my ticket, since I just ran my two-part last name together so it still looks like one last name, but if it comes up I might get some issues. Crap.
-I am on the last day of the eighth week of a ten week quarter, so I am entering the home stretch and all is well. Reading Tillich comparatively with Hartshorne is kind of amazing and hard, but amazing.
-I am going to be helping plan the 2011 Ministry Conference for the University of Chicago Divinity School, which is several kinds of awesome. I think we picked a great theme, and I am going to be really interested in helping find speakers and plan this shindig.
-I have a summer internship at Faith in Place, which starts very soon and I am very much looking forward to. I miss the rhythm of a working week sometimes. It always felt kind of nice to have time that was just mine to goof off in, rather than an endless parade of books I need to read.
EDIT
-And I might be getting a couch, if the logistics work out.
