Hello!

Wow, so this week wasn't so hot for me. Nothing majorly horrible happened, it was just a lot little crappy things. Oh I did have a bomb threat at my school and I got to go home early on wednesday, so that was good I guess. I mean going home early was good, the bomb threat was just stupid. Because of this stupid kid: NO BAGS are allowed in the school until further notice. Which is just until they find the kid, but I don't think they have any good leads. The police have been monitoring our school too and will continue to on monday. It's all very irritating.
I just came back from the coffee house! I met some new people and got to talk to some other friends ect. Also happy Talk like a pirate day (extended to weekend because it's a friday). I encourage everyone to embrace this holiday! Here are my videos!

Phrank: G.K. Chesterton

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 thinking working almost 60 hours a week is starting to take its toll on me. I'm completely exhausted. I really hope this job comes through, the hours will be SO much better.

Good news- I have Sundays off! So those in North will soon be getting a visit from me.

I started reading A Brief History of Time. It's pretty fry so far, and Hawking comes off as pretty arrogant. I'll try to slog through some more of it.

Anyone else reading anything interesting?

I think I'm gonna pass on the video thing. I just woke up from a nap, and I just want to go back to sleep.

And he's back!

Sorry that I had missed the last couple of weeks, seems that I have been sick and when i'm sick i'm not putting all that much effort into stuff. I'm still sick by the way. And after reading Greg's post from this week and last week, I saw nothing about video embedding anywhere except after his post this week. Seems like the challenge was thrown out there to be decided on this week. I choose to, VOTE NO. If you want to watch video's go see the Obama waffles. That some good eating.

Phrank: Video game story time!


So it's been a couple of days since I played KoL, but it was good, I needed a break. I've gotten very busy organizing the news publishing team for KoL Coldfront over the past few days. As far as school goes, I've got kind of a weird schedule. I only go to class five times a week, over the course of three days. 2 classes Tuesday, 2 classes Wednesday evening, 1 class Thursday. I spend my weekends back in North Attleboro, working my summer job even though it's no longer summer.

This picture is a cute summation of a game I've played several times, Mark and I spent a good half-hour when he first showed it to me identifying all the people in it. If you've played the game, it's incredible. If you haven't, well, at least it's cute. In case you're wondering, the game is Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. Very cool world-immersion RPG.

Bill, you didn't post again this week. Is something up or did you just forget? I think we may have to convene the tribunal of punishment, and see if a punishment is in order.

Fall is swiftly descending on us, siblings, so please share with the rest of us: what is your favorite thing about fall/autumn
