The following are two videos of an author by the name of G.K. Chesterton, who I'm studying this semester in my class on Catholic modernity. The first one is a video of Chesterton at a Worcester college, being inducted as a Crusader. Hmmm, I wonder... The video quality is pretty bad, but he's the largish fellow on the left side of the center.
The following video is a snippet from a play based on Chesterton's essays, and some slight biographical info. I really enjoyed this video, even if it was on Godtube.
The book we had to read for class, "The Man Who Was Thursday:A Nightmare" is a funny, theological/philosophical debate against Western pessimism and despair. The story was engaging and entertaining and then at the end shifts into something so deep and profound, it was incredible. Truly a masterpiece of Catholic literature.
Holy Cross vs. Harvard football tomorrow night, at Harvard. Should be a really fun and exciting game for the band!

I enjoyed those videos. The first was interesting cause it's old, and the second was just plain intersting.
