How I roll

Its been a busy time (but good) time since I've been back. Its good just to catch up with people. Its strange - when I'm unemployed and not in school I'm remarkably productive. Lots more pet projects I'd like to get rolling as well.

My main two objectives right now are job hunting and finishing up work for my Biblical Exegesis course I did at the Schloss. In our day and age, job hunting seems to have boiled down to hours and hours spent in front of the computer, going through various websites and then making lists, and writing emails to each company. I have one good prospect coming up, we'll see if something comes of it.

I've been motivated to read more these days. I've really been craving fiction, just recently read Stephen Lawhead's Byzantium, then Harry Potter books 1 to 3, Joy Luck Club, some Grimm's Fairy Tales, and found myself a copy of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy at a used book store yesterday. Oh for those who are into books, check out this cool new service LibraryThing, which is sort of a social community site where you can enter your entire library of books, have wishlists, compare your library with others, etc. Its quite sweet, just enter the title, author, or ISBN, and it searches major sites (primarily Amazon) and then enters all the info for you. I tried entering a few books, its really easy. Check out the few books I have on my page so far here. I plan to use this as a list of books I've used/read, regardless of whether I own it or not. I've been looking for awhile for a nice way to keep track of books, and this looks like the ticket.
