Rosary Church

This weekend, like last weekend, was a pretty uneventful one. Friday night, I went to Hong Kong's Ikea for some reason (I still don't know why) and last night I went to an Indian restaurant with a classmate and had curry. It was good, but a little bit expensive; and I'm still not sure it was worth the price! Today was looking to be another lazy Sunday of relaxing, napping, video games and music-- especially since, once again, my friends are all busy-- but I decided to do something different and went to church. There were a couple of Catholic churches near by, but I decided to go to one in Tsim Sha Shui due to its proximity to shopping and the fact that Tsim Sha Shui is an all-around decent place to spend a Sunday.



Mass was nice. The priest who does the English mass, Reverend Sheridan, is from (and was ordained in)Ireland. I talked to him briefly after mass, and he seems nice. He invited me to come more often, and I think I will. I think it'll be nice to get involved in a church-- or, any community outside school, that is. It's always good to have a life that consists more than wasting time on the internet and one's current school-job.

After mass, I walked around shops and eventually bought this CD. It's good; not quite as good as the Arcade Fire album I purchased recently or Jose Gonzalez's solo stuff, but still really good. And, it sounds good played on my new speakers which came (along with a bunch of scholarly books) in the mail this week.

This weekend was bad for productivity. But what are weekends for? Thankfully, Fallout New Vegas has glitched out so much I can no longer enjoy it, so I probably won't be playing that next weekend. Of course, I get paid this weekend, and I've got a decent hunch I'm also going to be purchasing Dragon Age: Origins :)

Will update again next week. Possibly after church :P
