Orange Month

Last night I went to a concert in Lagerqvist by Ruusamari Teppo on piano and Jussi Makkonen on cello. Ruusamari is the great granddaughter of Jean Sibelius the Finnish composer. Because she is of direct bloodline to Sibelius she has the right to perform specific pieces. Saturday evening was the second time some of these pieces have been played in North America. The first time was earlier in the week. The duo were impeccable.

I have the first major exam in Norwegian tomorrow. I have no concern. The main thing I have had to work with is the Norwegian governmental system. I am now very fluent in Norwegian politics.

Religion will be the death of me. That class man...that class. I have a pretty deep paper due on the 15th and it is really over my head. I spent a good 6 hours in the library the other day and basically just spun my wheels. Maybe that is not entirely true. I did find where two of the required sources are located. The librarian was a tad lost and took notes on what class this was for and which professor has assigned this work. I am supposed to have 15 scholarly academic biblical sources in hard print form no older than 10 years from publish date. I have never written in Chicago format. Formatting in papers is silly regardless. I attended an hour long lecture after class one night just to try and make sense of the Chicago formatting. What is this monstrosity supposed to be about you ask?

 With great joy I present to you:

Compare and contrast source criticism and redaction criticism in the synoptic gospels. The paper will focus on an illustrative pericope in Crook (a synoptic tool for the gospels including Q)

I happen to have taken on number 166 the Five Thousand Feed. The guidelines for this paper are a full page of text. That is more than you, and certainly I, really care about. In essence it is simply a compare and contrast paper. The problem lies in the subject.

Whatever. Stop whining and just do it.

Speaking of religion. The skies.  The trees. Dat 2008 cellphone quality.

There is a creek that flows along Tule Lake Rd. (a block from my place).

Yea, it is not so clean. But it can looks sort of neat.

I ride to Spanaway lake and Bressman quite often. Beach.

I also ride to Tacoma every now and then.

I will throw it out there that I really do not like exhaust and getting from the old Union station down to the Foss waterway on a bike is some pretty risky business. I am glad I am quick with the pedals.

I noticed when I moved in a stamp under "my" desk. I finally took a picture. I bet the company was quite glad to fill this order for the entire South Hall complex.

Clouds are cool.
