Rain. Cloudy skies. Cold weather.

Pretty cool blog.

Starting in January, this pastor will read every non-fiction book on the New York Time's Bestseller list through 2010. Check out the blog and why he's doing it. I'm impressed.

Part of our project for Interpersonal involved a Chuck Anderson print. Come to find out, he is the brother-in-law to one of our group members. Guess who got a free print from Chuck Anderson? If you don't know who I'm talking about, you should. Look him up.

Saw Over the Rhine and Kate Herzig at The Triple Door Sunday. The venue is probably the best I've ever seen and the music was incredible. First time I ever heard either of those artists.

We have a week off from reading for Thanksgiving break. 20 bucks says I don't use that time wisely. After, just one more class and this semester is OVER.

Saw this list on a friend's facebook: 20 Best Books of this Decade

I have something to say about that list. If Marilynne Robinson wrote Gilead the way she wrote Home then this list has a huge flaw.

I've lost a lot of weight since being at Mars Hill. Stress. And I keep hearing I need to get a therapist...

If you go see New Moon, I disown you as my friend.

I found a book that goes through all of Dylan Thomas' poetry and explains it based on his biography. Drool.

Poets I still don't own: Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats, Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I miss studying the Roman Empire. There is no time for it now. I was about a fourth through Rome and Jerusalem when I came to Mars Hill and I don't know when I will get to finish it.

Possibly next year I am going to take a leap into a whole new world of theology: Postcolonial Imagination and Feminist Theology by Kwok Pui-Lan. After that, gay theology and then African-American theology.
