Well, of course it's about my life and stuff I think about. Just like a quadzillionbazillion other bloggers. I'm obsessed with God. I love beauty, enjoy absurdity, dance with despair, seek silence, and think everyone is goofy. Here's my world and what I think of it....

Is it wrong to tune that part of the liturgy out so that I don't get my aching feet or rumbling stomach's hopes up?

When I first became Orthodox, it was a non-Orthodox friend who had
YEARS before attended one service who pointed out that "Let us complete our prayer to the Lord" means there's half an hour left.
After 9 years, I will still sometimes check my watch at that point to see if it is still true. At my church, anyway, it is!
It depends on when you start counting. If you're at Matins/Orthros then you've reached the 3/4 mark. If you attended Vespers the night before as well then your 7/8's the way trough the service. :-)

Similarly, Curmudgeophan should tell the catechumens that just because the deacon tells them three times to am-scray, they shouldn't even *think* about it.
Or, if you go to my parish, "LUCOPTTL" is actually the kickoff.
For my part, I try to get in before Matins ends. That way I can get good seats.
