Excited

Have you ever had that feeling where everything excites you?
Just when you feel like you've gotten over the initial thrill of one thought, another one comes to your attention and boom!

Thoughts on my mind right now (In no particular order and probably not comprehensive):

The Syntopicon
A systematic catalogue of themes (i.e. Beauty, Goodness, Truth) in all the great western classics. Compiled by Mortimer J. Adler and his team over the course of about ten years. Yeah...Awesome! The only problem would be that you actually have to have the books to be able to use it...

The Iliad
Go read it. It's indescribablly fun. I haven't been this excited about an adventure since Lord of the Rings. =]

Anna Karenina
I pretty much melted when I got to part IV. I'm a sucker for happy engagments. =] Anna has definitely degenerated both morally and physically. sigh. Let's see how it goes.

Jesus Loves me and has shed His blood for me
This is most definitely the source of all my happiness. =]
If I do not give myself to God completely (or as much as I can) I am a much worse person. (Believe me!)

Lord Alfred Tennyson
I've read The Kraken and The Lady of Shalott so far. Both very good. =]

The Complete Works of Shakespeare in 38 hardcover volumes
Ahhhhhhh! They are sooo beautiful! Don't worry Shakespeare! I'll get to you! (After Anna K and Plutarch!)

Plutarch
Very Interesting Character Studies...more on that later.

T.S. Eliot
Was my first contact with poetry (of all the Poets, I had to hit one of the hardest!). Last Year.
Love him.

My Baby Cousin
This is how he says my name: Gaeeeeeebeeeoo OR Gabiogabiogabiogabio
So adorably cute. =]

Why it seems like Money is worth more when it's still in your hands
It's because of the potential it contains. As soon as it's converted, it loses potential. (unless you go and be a "red paper clip guy")

Wheatstone Academy
Just about the most awesome summer camp ever. =]

My left hand is like a lame duck on the piano compared to my right hand.
This is especially apparent when I try to play (note emphasis on Try) Rachmaninoff's Moment Musical no. 4 in e minor.

My (incomplete) set of the Harvard Classics
Raided it from the Library for $35. I think I have like 27/51 of the set. Some very good titles. It's an old edition though.

Two volume set of Major British Writers
Very good editorial essays in there.

I'm in debt.
From buying all these books

Yup, that's all for now!
