My friend Carlos Olea discovered from this post that my laptop had been stolen, and that the laptop that my girlfriend loaned to me was stolen as well. And so he did the most recklessly charitable thing he could: loaned me his laptop indefinitely. I’m gonna try and not get it stolen, of course. This… Continue reading Laptop Saga: A Wonderful Turn of Events!

A few weeks ago, I took the red-eye from Kansas City to D.C. I made it back to my apartment, unpacked, repacked, and headed to class. I sat for a while waiting for the Metro, got on, made it about a stop and a half, and realized I’d left my backpack on the bench at… Continue reading Laptop Stolen! (Twice!)

Catholic Eye Candy cheats a bit by including the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church’s underground stone churches in Lalibela as Catholic art. It’s worth fudging the self-made rules, I think. If you haven’t seen pictures of them before, check them out! If you’re interested, Wikipedia’s got a good primer including a good quote from Fr. Francisco… Continue reading Cool Undergound Stone Churches

… my sister is having her first, probably today. Say some prayers! (She’s a girl).

I’m not feeling very well (which is why I haven’t posted yesterday or today). It’s nothing serious, just sinuses and the works — it’s probably nerves acting up because law school starts up again on Monday. Prayers, as always, are appreciated.

About a day before my post on the papal encyclical’s treatment of the absurdity of scarcity myths and overpopulation fear-mongering, Newsweek ran an article called Are you Ready for $20 Per Gallon Gas? We’re told in the article, “pump prices are off from last year’s highs, but don’t expect that to last.” I mentioned in… Continue reading Speaking of Irony…

I’m headed home to see my family and friends for a wonderful Independence Day, but in case I’m away from my computer, I leave you with a good link and a cheesy joke. The good link is to Nicene Truth’s page, showing the Catholicity of St. Augustine. He just lists a lot of Augustine quotes… Continue reading Flying Back to Kansas City!

I’m just saying. Up is an awesome movie. And a wonderful antidote to the ADHD-inducing direction animation has gone in the last decade or so. There are just these incredibly long scenes where nothing is said, and beautiful classical music plays, while you watch a couple grow old together. It’s heartwarming (and at times, heart-breaking),… Continue reading Pixar Doesn’t Make a Bad Movie

I have a final today, and a final Friday, an in-depth paper due right after, and will likely have little time in between all of that to blog. Feel free to read over older posts, and after finals are over, I’ll be back in action. Reese responded to the 7 points I raised (below) with… Continue reading Taking the week off!

I am officially into law school finals season. Second year is definitely better than first when it comes to finals, if only because you know what you’re getting into. Of course, this is just like bracing yourself for a punch – you know what you’re getting into, but it’s still gonna hurt! So far, I’ve… Continue reading It’s Finals Season!
