The Promise, Korra, and...uh, a random thought on Good Friday

I know I haven't been updating much-but I have been keeping up with my new blog, so if Japanese language and culture interests you, remember to keep checking Hymnia Monogatari for updates

Clearly a more casual fan here, but I did not know about The Promise. My brief digging tells me it is canon, yes?

I would say so, yes. Mike and Bryan did not write it, but they collaborated with the author.

I am a purist when it comes to the bible. Music (Bach) is okay, mostly because it keeps pretty much to the original, and I also like the old Viae Dolorosae (there's always one picture for putting Jesus into his grave), but I am not into modern movies, that are all too cheesy (except parodies as Life of Brian.)

I have found some feminist acquaintances during my excursion to the German blogging world. For them, the explanation would be simple: it's because it's women who looked after Jesus' body, while the male disciples had all deserted him.

Do you learn Japanese with a book, or have you joined a class?

I use books and computer software. I haven't been able to find a class that was both affordable enough and fit into my schedule.
