just home now from shopping in boston and cambridge all day. well, all day after church. it was semi-fruitful shopping-wise and very pleasant socially. rach's friend C came shopping with us and we met up with my friend R from grad school who's around for the day. it was lovely to spend time with both of them. it occurs to me that i never mentioned to anyone in the valley that i wouldn't be around all day. oops. this is what it's like, walking around in the haze that is my brain these days.

church was nice enough today... but i find i have very little tolerance for things like when the minister referred to the immaculate conception of jesus. um, that wasn't jesus. fcol, she's the one who went to divinity school, why doesn't she know that? but hey, i fuck up all the time so why does that bother me so much? i don't know. maybe i just want the UUs to be on top of their game... you know, better able to withstand criticism and such. or whatever, maybe i'm just fussy today.

and still, most of my thoughts are with rotk.

it was mary. her birth. the taint of sin was miraculously removed from her conception, thus making her wholey pure. those wacky catholics.

So it was actually Mary's mother who conceived Mary immaculately? I'm still confused. That doesn't make sense to me. I've always thought that it was Mary who conceived Jesus immaculately, hence her title the Virgin Mary.

yes, mary's parents had sinless sex apparently. lucky them, huh? i think most people think the immaculate conception was of jesus. but no. i was enlightened my first year of college. the pope declared the conception of mary to have been without sin in, like, 1890 or something oddly recent like that.
