2004-11-24 - 5:31 p.m. I went to B@rnes and N0ble last night, something I almost never do, but I wanted to get Gwen�s book. There was no way I was going to find it myself in that giant store, so I went up to the information kiosk, where I was startled by the sight of the man behind the computer. He was older, maybe in his late �50s, and he was wearing some kind of long white robe, that looked to me like something a member of the clergy might wear. Being a bit of a heathen, I couldn�t specify which clergy, exactly, but it was a long white robe with a wide hood, a cross between a monks robe and the getup that Catholic priests sometimes wear as they�re swinging that..um, smoking incense thingy.. up the aisle. I was put off by this general air of religion, as I was now in the position of having to ask him the location of � To The Last Jerk I Slept With��and once I finally got it out, stammering, he told me that they didn�t have it in the store, but did I want him to order it for me? And I said, No, thank you, Fath..uh, Sir�uh, no I�ll just order it online, thanks�� and then I hightailed it out of there. Heh. I may not be down with the Church, but it�s some of those old ingrained reactions are hard to shake.
