I've been having these really weird dreams of late. Last night I dreamt that it was Sunday and I was going to service at Trinity as usual. Instead of going alone, I had two friends with me this time (although I can't remember who those two people were). We also went to the 11am service instead of the 9am, which was a little weird, but not too much because I can understand people wanting to sleep in. The weird thing was that service wasn't at the church, but in someone's house... but I didn't realize this until communion, because I couldn't find the altar.
In the next part of my dream I was taking the bus back home, I think my aim at the time was just to take the bus to Park St. so I could get on the red line. I wasn't paying attention, so I missed my stop. After chatting with the bus driver about the best way to get home, I got off in Chinatown. I then decided to go to an asian grocery market to see if they have sio pao (they're these baked bread buns filled with roast pork and what not, really really yum). At the market (which was huge and sort of reminicent of a department store), I found denise (from Tufts) selling chicharon on the lower floor.
Around this point, Julie woke me up because it was already 9:30, the time that we were supposed to leave to go to REI.... whoops. I still can't decide if I slept through my alarm or if I just fell back asleep after shutting it off... I think it's the latter.
My highlight of the day is that I got my first pair of climbing shoes! They are La Sportiva Mythos (Lady) shoes. The little sheet about climbing shoes at REI didn't check them for some different categories, but all of the reviews that I've read online gave them high ratings, so I'm really excited. The best part was definitely the price though. Mythos are usually $120, which is way too expensive, but REI is having this huge July 4th sale, so the shoes only cost me $75! Still expensive for shoes (at least for me) but: (a) They're good quality, and (b) they will last me a really long time because I don't climb too too often and my feet are definitely not going to grow. A good investment if I do say so myself. Aren't they pretty?

In other exciting news, I finally got the William Barclay book that I ordered form bn. William Barclay is this Scottish theologian who wrote a lot (and I mean a lot) of Bible commentary books. The book that I bought is commentary on the Letters of James and Peter, so I'm really excited to start going through it. I've decided that I have to finish reading the Screwtape Letters first before I start this one. Or maybe I could do it concurrently. Whatever floats my boat, right?
