Someday, I'll write something real
...I'm such a dork. I bought a commemorative Sweet Sixteen T-shirt today. I didn't buy one the last time Butler played in the NCAA, so I figured why not. I read in the paper this morning that the shirts were selling out within an hour, so I stopped by the bookstore and stood in line for over 1/2 hour. Like I said, I'm such a dork. But hey - been there got the Tshirt!...Mom and I switched places on Tuesday and she should be coming home from Minnesota tomorrow. It's been a stressful two weeks, but thankfully Grandpa made it okay and is on his way home.
...I'm behind on my thesis work. YUCK. I was supposed to get a lot of papers written last week, but with all the complications with Grandpa and getting sick myself, I got nearly nothing accomplished. Again. YUCK. I just want this whole schooling thing to be over!
...However, I did get several books read while I was gone. Getting Serious about Getting Married by Debbie Maken, Housekeeping by Marilynn Robinson, When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro, The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis, and I got started on Snow Flower and the Secret Fan for the upcoming book club. I also started a book called Eyes Wide Open which is a Christian critique of popular culture. I need to finish it because so far, I'm not sure I agree with where the author is going. From what I can tell he has an "only Christian art counts" bias (like the CCM), which is disappointing but perhaps I'm mistaken.
...A quote to end this post:
"When you painted on earth...it was because you caught glimpses of Heaven in the earthly landscape. The success of your painting was that it enabled others to see the glimpses too."
- the Ghost to the Painter, The Great Divorce
