  • Did you know…

    That one of the main themes in the soundtrack from The Hudsucker Proxy comes from the adagio from Spartacus? Neither did I.

  • ¿Y México? ¡Se fue!

    Some seemingly bad news: my trip to Mexico has been canceled on account of insufficient applicants. Not enough people going means the trip would have been prohibitively expensive. Sad, huh!

    Now what do I do? I don’t know. Do I look for a different program out of the country? Or try to find some classes or work or something to do here in Provo? Yikes, that throws me off balance!

  • Rime of the Ancient Mariner

    I just listened to The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge while reading along. An impressive poem! Download the audio book and view the complete text with notes if you want to.

    Here’s a notable little excerpt:

    O sweeter than the marriage-feast,
    ‘Tis sweeter far to me,
    To walk together to the kirk
    With a goodly company !– To walk together to the kirk,
    And all together pray,
    While each to his great Father bends,
    Old men, and babes, and loving friends
    And youths and maidens gay !

    He prayeth well, who loveth well
    Both man and bird and beast.

    He prayeth best, who loveth best
    All things both great and small ;
    For the dear God who loveth us,
    He made and loveth all.
