Uhhh ok the opening to Carrie (1976) is uh bizarre? Creepy? Ummmm. Disturbing? Can I actually be watching this???
Just finished rereading Newman’s An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine. I really didn’t remember how firmly he grasps the whole being subject to history thing. There’s really no being shy about it at all
Do folks sing Praise to the Holiest to Newman or Gerontius? I go back and forth but I think I sing Newman more often
Saint John Henry Newman, Doctor of the Church, pray for us!
Had @robinwigglesworth.ft.com’s book recommended to me at my church group last, online and real life conspire
In case you want some mostly old-timey autumnal-ish music, here’s a playlist I made last year

So what’s up with MBTA naming inconsistency? Why are the stations Porter and Davis on the red line, but Magoun Square and Union Square on the green line. I think the “Square” bit is extraneous
One of the breweries I was at today had the ominous twin peak music playing in the bathroom and I thought I was going crazy
Bleh, how do we have such a gross humid morning during what’s supposed to be my beautiful New England October
Watching Twin Peaks The Return and thinking about this
“Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun than to eat and to drink and to be merry.”
I’ve found it very easy for agents (talking Opus basically) to have a strong tendency to dive down rabbit holes instead of actually buikding out the prototype we planned
I’m really loving the start of my reread of An Essay on the Development of Doctrine, so be prepared for plenty of St John Henry material
I really like the description of a living idea from the first chapter of An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine
St John Henry Newman really is just a great writer
GLM-F5.3-Flash is really quite solid for all my needs, can’t believe how much cheaper than opus
I thought it was common knowledge that if you send in an application for something you ought to rename the file to have your first and last name in it
Wait how do Protestants who don’t have a role for celibacy in their communities interpret 1 Corinthians 7, St Paul seems pretty insistent that there’s a role for the unmarried
I had read Dare We Hope last month, so I decided to pick up Prayer by HUvB. This is a really different book, having a bit of trouble getting into the right mindset to read it
I’ve finally jumped on the bandwagon and started working with @polytoken.dev today

I learn to love the Pauline Epistles more and more. 1 Corinthians 15 is one of my favorites: “We will not all die, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.”
