So, our summer in New York City is finished, I have a sweet job offer in hand, and we’re back in the DC area for one more year of law school. In the meantime, we have almost the entire month of August free, since classes for me don’t start until after Labor Day, and my lovely wife is finishing out the end of her maternity leave. We’re basically unpacked from the move, but we don’t have the apartment all put back together completely yet. We aren’t allowing ourselves to hook up the Wii until we get this place in order, which means I’m going through some pretty serious Guitar Hero withdrawal.
My sad news is that I couldn’t find anyone to go see Jethro Tull with me tomorrow in Virginia, so it looks like I’m not going. It turns out I pretty much just don’t know anyone–at least anyone in the DC area–who likes Tull. I’m honestly a Jethro-come-lately when it comes to the band, but I spent a pretty good chunk of the summer discovering that I had a deep and abiding love for them. On the up side, my Aqualung CD came in the mail today, so I at least have some more JT to listen to, even if it isn’t live.
My wife and I have been re-watching the first two seasons of Battlestar Galactica, so that we can then proceed to watch the third season (which we recently bought on DVD). I’m not going to lie; this is pretty much the best show, ever. When I figure out how to hook our cable box back up, we can check to see how much of the fourth season we managed to catch on DVR.
That’s about it for now. I’m still trying to figure out how to get baptized and confirmed Episcopalian even though I don’t actually attend and Episcopal church right now, but that’s sort of another post for another day.
I’d go! If it wasn’t 7-8 hours away, I mean. 🙂
I’d go too! except for the seven hours away thing, as well.
I am studiously avoiding any mention of BSG anywhere on the interweb world out of fear that someone will give away whatever is happening in Season 4. Nobody tell me! We’ve been watching on DVD as well since we don’t do cable TV and have gotten all the way to the end of season 3 and recently started over again with season 1.
I’m half way through season 3. I thought the show was so-so until halfway through the first season and then it got GOOD.
A few Mormon bloggers a while back were tossing around the possibility that Gaius Baltar is modeled after Joseph Smith…. Sounded fun to me.
Someday I need to pick up this series.
Funny how similar our paths are. As a felloe ex-LDS I have gone the Anglican route as well. When I approached our priest about baptism/confirmation, I was told that it was unneccessary. I had already been baptised in the name of Father, Son, and HG, so I had no need to worry.
Next month our Daughter and Son will be baptised Anglican. I have taken on a role in the youth ministry, and the family has quickly become part of the Anglican community.
You mentioned earlier that th eAnglican Church is full of political and organizational distractions. I have found this very true as well. The focus evenin the anglican literature out there is on how the church runs, and what needs to happen rather than on the spirituality of it. Folks in this religion seem to have a hard time expressing feelings of spirituality, which is a far cry from “Fast & Testimony” meetings on “Bad-Breath Sunday”.
Here is a challenge for you if you haven’t done it already (you may have and I didn’t see the post). Read through the Articles of Religion (found here http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/1928/Articles.htm or in the back of the book of common prayer), you may be surprised by how close to the LDS beliefs Anglicanism actually is, although no self-respecting Anglican would ever admit to it.
