I've come to the conclusion, after long and careful thought, that I might have too many hobbies.  It's pretty much impossible to work full time and also: read, crochet, draw, keep up with the news, talk to your friends, use Netflix to it's full potential, listen to music, write, and teach yourself to play the piano, read classical Greek and Latin, ( Read more... )

For fathers and daughters.  Because so often we forget.

In other news- I am not officiating at a wedding in a month and a half.  That would be against the rules!  I am only a lowly intern!  Sure, the proper paperwork would make it legal, but the seminary would have a fit!  So I'm not officiating at a wedding.

Well, that isn't official yet.  :)

Also, I ( Read more... )

Especially as I know that so many of the people that read this are huge fans... but I watched the first three episodes of "Freaks and Geeks" and while it was okay, I was not especially impressed and don't plan on watching any more of it ( Read more... )

So I just finished the seventh book, thanks to research and food and a Bogart/Bacall movie all getting fitted in as well (To Have and To Have Not, which was excellent, if not Casablanca, though they had much more chemistry than him and Bergman, I think).

So, my thoughts on the matter, before I read everyone else's ideas.

Deaths: Hedwig made me gasp ( Read more... )

And hey, worse things could happen to a girl.  Anyways, in the last twenty four hours I've seen Robin Hood (best ever version!) and Santa Fe Trail (historically laughable, I looked it up, but it's also just flat out weird to have Abolitionists be the bad guys, and Ronald Reagan had a leading role!) and dad says Captain Blood is in the mail.  I had ( Read more... )

So I read The Scarlet Pimpernel for the first time last night, and have to wonder what I thought I was waiting for.  And dad has Braveheart going in the background.  So you'd think that my life is full of excitement and adventure, and that's true, in a vicarious kind of way.

The truth is that I've been sleeping a lot, and doing some work on my paper ( Read more... )

I've reverted to unhealthy sleeping habits, as expected.  I'd also like to note that it's probably a bad sign when people suggest to you that you get married in order to have someone make sure you remember to sleep.

I recently finished listening to the audiobook of "The Golden Compass", formerly titled "Northern Lights" and first book in the "His ( Read more... )

Angela has me reading The Rebel Angels by Robertson Davies.  I only pick it up now and then (sorry Angela!) because I've been spending so much time on my novel.  However, I ran across a passage which seemed especially relevant, and thought I should share it.  One of the main characters is describing the students in her NT Greek class at a Canadian ( Read more... )

And that includes getting the entire Summa Theologicae for a buck.  The take from the library's fall booksale:

Letters and Papers from Prison, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, PB
On Death and Dying, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, PB
When Bad Things Happen to Good People, Harold S. Kushner, PB
A Grief Observed, C.S. Lewis, PB
Heritage of Lancaster County Trilogy, Beverly ( Read more... )

As a friend called it.  I have the ELW, yay.  In all fairness, I shouldn't be back yet, because there was a nice little party going on, but the smell of the celebratory champagne was a bit much for me, so I left.  Besides, the campus booksale's in seven hours ( Read more... )
