Day’s Verse:
If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Will anybody hire me?

Day’s Verse:

By some strange quirk of fate, Ian and I can no longer see any analogcafe.net pages, including my blog. I have not updated lately because I thought it was down altogether, but now it seems only we’re blocked. Ironic.
I made chicken and biscuits for dinner last night, implementing my family’s suggestions — potatoes, carrots, and celery in addition to the usual peas, beans, and chicken — and found it quite delicious. Unfortunately with all the extras its volume also doubled, so we’ll have chicken and biscuits coming out of our ears before it’s all gone.

…But I paid $1.50 to mail a used tennis ball from under a snowy car to the dog.
We went over transistors in my ECE class. I still don’t understand how to analyze a circuit with transistors in it, and my homework on that (I think) is due Monday. We also have another exam Tuesday.
I’m giving the talk at Friday Night Fellowship for CBF tonight. Topic TBA, not that I don’t have something planned. Seriously.

Two quotes:
A human being in perfection ought always to preserve a calm and peaceful mind and never to allow passion or a transitory desire to disturb his tranquillity.
Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about the truth.
The first quote is from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; the second is Aldous Huxley in his 1946 forward to Brave New World.

Day’s Verse:
So we have the prophetic word made more sure, tow hich you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.
2 Peter 1:19

What is your least favorite dish to wash by hand? Mine is either the collander or the cheese grater. Coming in a close second would be a whisk, which never seems to get totally clean.
I ordered a plastic protective case for my iPod nano today after seeing somebody else’s with a distressing cracked screen. Scratches on the body, fine; but cracked screens I simply will not tolerate.

Day’s Verse:
Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.
1 Cor 6:13

You know how last term I commented that I hoped this term would be less crazy-busy? All I have to say to that is: Ha! Ha! New commitments pile atop the previous ones, creating a wobbly mountain of responsibility. Consider today: I will spend from 10:00 to 5:00 on campus, busy the whole time. Or yesterday, which should have been incredibly productive: at 9:30 yesterday (not long after I got up, having no commitments until 2:00), a mailman knocked on our door. He had the remaining six packages Ian and I had sent ourselves, and so I spent three hours unpacking those and fitting their contents into our life here. This involved washing — by hand — all 61 pieces of our new silverware set, plus a dozen new kitchen implements (spatulas, spoons, the like), plus two sets of new dishes, plus six new ice cream sundae cups. Afterwards, I never wanted to see any of the dishes (but especially the 16 teaspoons) again. However, the arrival of these boxes is precipitating a general straightening-up that our drawers have needed for quite some time. Plus now we have three boxes full of all my books, a vast expansion of our reading library; also, we received all our DVDs, which expanded our video library as well.
