Requiem

In paradisum deducant te Angeli: 
in tuo adventu suscipiant te Martyres, 
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem. 
Chorus Angelorum te suscipiat, 
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.

May Angels lead you into paradise;
may the Martyrs receive you at your coming
and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem.
May a choir of Angels receive you,
and with Lazarus, who once was poor, may you have eternal rest.

I really like the changes to Blogger. To celebrate them, here's how I've spent the last hour of my day:

What Amy Is

Reading: 
The Power of Myth - Joseph Campbell

Written in an interview style, I'm really enjoy Campbell's ability to apply mythology to modern culture. I've just started this one, but B.J. tells me that I've made a good choice in my library book this week.





Watching:
Glee!

This season started picking up steam with Neil Patrick Harris's guest role. Given the first five minutes of this episode, it's going to continue to improve.


Hearing:
Coverville

One of the better podcasts I've heard. It had me hooked on ukulele music for a solid week.

Smelling:
Orange Sapphire from Bath and Body Works

Thanks to Mom for the lotion, shower gel, and the body spray. It's orange with a touch of amber, so I smell like fruit, but not a snow cone.






Loving:
Galway Crystal

Made in Ireland, I now have a gorgeous set of four wineglasses. I also love the Little Black Dress Cabernet Sauvignon that is currently inside it.






Hating:
Sex and the City 2

Any movie that uses the phrase "Lawrence of My-Labia" is on my shit list. Ebert has it correct.
