Remember how I said I'd post about Elder Douglas L. Callister's devotional address? The rebroadcast ended an hour ago (which is how long I've been working on this post :)), and here's my response:
First, the underlying premise behind all of his remarks is that our heavenly home and our ...
I find that when I'm not quite sure what to post about, I decide to write a string with several beads of topics on it. And that's what I'll do today. :)
1. Writing in this blog, or writing e-mails for that matter, is a lot more fun than doing ...
The progressive book sale seduced me this morning. On my way to class I saw it and was sorely tempted to just skip class, but I'm happy to report that I resisted the temptation and made it all the way to the end of class. I even waited ...
Today I was trucking over to the Maeser Building (which is on the very farthest corner of campus), trying to get to my Deductive Logic class on time, when I had an epiphany: I didn't have to take that class. I'd forgotten that. :) So later this afternoon ...
I can't remember if I blogged on here about my semi-decision to stay in Provo and get my Masters in Library Science online. If I didn't, well, there it is. :)

It's simple, really: literary theory is booooooooooooring.
I suppose I'd better explain. I love books. I adore literature. I'm going to be a librarian. I can't stop writing. I "have the soul of an English major," as they say. Or at least as the guy ...
Even though Bookland is suspended in cyberamber, I seem to have not written much about books lately. So, here's a book post. :)
I keep my current reading log on Backpack, and this morning as I added The Screwtape Letters to the list, I found that I've ...
Liz has written a great post on The "Same Old Thing", from C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters:
