Well, first post ever by the King of Amusing Giddiness, and it's not going to be nominated for a Pulitzer. I have a few ideas for some thought provoking stuff, but that's for later. I'm still getting my feet wet.
I did go visit Torrey Berkeley for the first time, which was fun. There was a Torrey Alumni dessert event that drew about eight, excluding myself. It was fun to talk to a couple that knew Ms. Schubert as students. I was a little disappointed that there weren't more people there, but it was fun. The Torrey Berkeley program itself only had 18 students this year. People don't think that Berkeley is as cool as Cambridge, evidently.
In non-Torrey news, I have a job full time for the summer. Woot. I'm not wildly excited about what I'm doing (grunt and go-fer type work), but I'm blessed with good co-workers (including my brother Jake) and money so I can pay for things like car insurance and stuff. God is good.
Anyway, I would like to share some stuff that I've been thinking about Dostoevsky, but that will have to wait. My recent reading of Tom Clancy novels just doesn't compare with the awesome stuff that we've read in Torrey, although I won't deny that Clancy novels are more entertaining (and designed to be, of course) than, well, most of the Torrey canon. Chesterton and a few others were still pretty entertaining, though...
Blessings to everyone, and thanks for reading my rambling first post.

P.S. I still have a fair number (23) of the "Adventure of the week" francis thread posts in my bubbs inbox. Does anyone else have any so that we could collaborate our collections and piece it back together somewhat?

Hey, your P.S. is a really good idea. I still have them somewhere - not sure if they're still in my Bubbs or not, but everything not in my Bubbs was forwarded to my Gmail account, so one way or another I could find all the posts I wrote.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the job, keep enjoying those novels, and I look forward to your thoughts on Dostoevsky.
I have 48 of them. (>.<)
ReplyDeleteCheck your email. I sent them to you all.
ReplyDeleteSo that's how you all kept all your posts! I was very confused as to how you all still had so many of those old posts. (I don't think my brain has been functioning that well in the common sense department since I've been studying all for the MCAT.)Unfortunately, I had to delete all my old mail because I send a lot of large e-mails. :( I'm glad that you all kept some of my old e-mails! :)
