Free Internet

I go here at least once a week solely because they are the only place you can get free internet in Westlake (besides the library, which is not as nice a place to sit - in my opinion). It's where I'm sitting right now writing this post. :)

I said "solely" but it's also nice to get out of the basement which I live in - not that I'm complaining. Sometimes it's just nice to sit somewhere where there are people around you but are still able to get work done. Just about everything I do is in the basement (practicing, bible study, greek study, etc.) except for the occasional internet neccesity taking me to Panera and my morning run at the rec center.

Snowhio!

I thought up this brilliant word-combo/pun for my title but then started wondering if anyone else thought of it. Well, again, I've found that original thoughts are hard to come by. Here are some pictures I took with my new camera.

An artistic snow picture?

I'm doing a Christmas concert with the Akron Symphony right now and the Akron Symphony Chorus has joined us along with dancers (for Nutcracker selections) and also a childrens choir. It involves a lot of logistics which makes the two rehearsals not quite enough to straighten up everything. The conducter is organized though and professional which is why I'm sure that it will go fine tonight.

There's a couple pieces that only require a harp and piano with choir so I was able to run up the stairs and get a picture of the choir rehearsing.

Me running up the stairs!

Christmas Gift Ideas

I have resumed my blogging on a rather pretentious and selfish note, but I thought this would simplify things for the person wanting to lavish gifts on me at Christmas; something always worth condoning.

• Han's parsing guide to the Greek New Testament
• Philippians and Colossians by J Vernon McGee
• Philippians: A Handbook for Greek Students
• Lectures on Philippians and Colossians by William Kelly
• Brief Thoughts on Philippians by JN Darby
• 1 volume of "What the Bible Teaches"
• Volume 6 of "The Numerical Bible"
• Notes on Philippians by HA Ironside

I think that's enough. If you don't like any of these options you can always get me something from the Christian biography section.
