daily inanities

Just so's none of y'all believes I really did get sucked into the Facebook void . . .

I was *supposed* to go to the LaChute flea market today. It's only open on Tuesdays, and I took the day off for it. BUT THEN my parents decided it was going to rain, so we didn't go. And it hasn't rained.

Poo.

So I began the monumental herculean task of refinishing my furniture. I have a kitchen table, two end tables, a massive coffee table and a chest of drawers to do before August (I did the feet for the table today - stripped and mostly sanded). Plus doing transcriptions on the side for Matt. Plus work and filling in for Pam when she leaves this week to have a baby. Plus moving and painting and learning how to cook for a diabetic.

But am I really me if I don't have too many things to do? Honestly.

As far as the apartment goes, Pie and I are going to sign the lease tonight (I hope they don't ask for first and last tonight, because I don't got it), and take some measurements and the like. I will also take some better pictures for you so you can see what it really looks like. The ones I took before were more just to give us an idea of the features it has. What a weird place it is . . . Incidentally, if anyone knows where I can get some enormous area rugs for cheap, lemme know.

Work? Well, work's great. I'm a little tired of humping dog food up and down a set of rickety stairs, but I can deal with that. I'm going to be putting in a lot of overtime this month. Westfest (yes, the very same event I posted on Facebook) is this weekend, and I'll be right in the middle of it with my store. You should come down and see it - it should be fun. Did I mention it was free?

After I come back from camping (next weekend!) I'll be working for ten days straight. That's going to suck muchly, but I can deal with that as well.

And that's about it.

So here's my question to you (perhaps a Catholic could answer this one):

The Pope, right? Benedict? Did he officially give up his real name when he became Pope? Was there a legal name change involved? Because you don't really retire from being the Pope - you're Pope until you die - so there's not going to be a name-change back.

And when he's talking to people who don't call him Your Holiness, do they call him Benedict? Does he sign his letters to friends Benedict? Or whatever his real name used to be?

And what's his last name? Pope?

Think on that for a spell.
