In which religion makes an appearance...

annundrielMy head hurts. I think I've probably been sitting too close to the computer screen or something. That's probably a good sign to go do something else, huh?
I redid my LJ layout again. Because I am fickle. My last viewing of TTT brought my LotR-love to the forefront of my obsessions again. Got the color scheme from my copy of The Silmarillion. I really like the way it looks on my laptop, but on the other computer it seems a bit dark. Hmm. Soon I'll be able to own TTT on DVD and that makes me happy. It's the little things in life, you know?
NEESHA!! You left before I could ask you my oh-so-important writing question. Grr.
I am currently reading The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown for a book club meeting I may attend. I may than actually join said book club. I've wanted to read this book before, but never really got around to looking for it. It's really very good. All sorts of stuff about the Catholic church and the Bible, as well as the Holy Grail. It's mystery/suspense.
The book club meeting for it should be interesting considering there will be a very traditional Catholic, a "fallen" Catholic, and me, a modern Catholic. The traditional Catholic, who had already read it, thought the book was very anti-Catholic. At the moment I can see where that comes from, but at the same time the book seems more anti-Vatican/anti-established religion than anything else. And I would like to think there is a difference. But than again I am a modern Catholic and my views are different than more traditional ones, especially since all I've ever known was Vatican II.
Anyway, the meeting is in October so I don't think I'll have any trouble finishing it. I don't have much left. Maybe I'll go read.
