things i enjoyed this weekend

the curly-headed roomie had never seen this cult classic. empire records was a fixture in my junior high life and beyond. even in college, when i would come home for a weekend, zach & i would always end up watching it. besides the music is the soundtrack of my 8th grade year. not to mention the fact that this was the inspiration for my junior high wardrobe. combat boots with skirts are always in style.

i heard her on prairie home companion a week ago. bought the cd this weekend. (on a side note: according to b&n if you record in nashville you are country. americana is not a concept they are familiar with.) she is amazing. she quotes quakers and reformers, promotes local agriculture and plays the banjo.

The Barbarian Way by Erwin McManus had some really good quotes. and that was about it. i like the principle point- that Christianity does not equal civilization. and that we have lost the passion and recklessness of the early church. but... i think im going to keep looking for seeliger's Western Theology.
