So, how about Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor, eh?  Pretty exciting, I think; I’m gonna miss Matt Smith, but I think it’s time.  Of course, it’s like GK Chesteron said: “The best way to love something is to realize it may be lost.”  Now that I realize I won’t be seeing him anymore, I appreciate how much I love him.  I love David Tennant, but I like Matt Smith’s version of the Doctor better.

Anyway, that’s not what I came here to talk about.  I came here to talk about me!  Well, sort of.  My birthday is in nine days and I want to have finished reading and revising my book (again) by then since August marks the third anniversary since I started writing the book.  I’d like to have it finished as a little birthday gift to myself.  I’m doing alright so far, but I still have little less than a hundred pages to go.

Oh, last Friday I went to a Chesterton Conference!  It was so awesome!  I enjoyed myself thoroughly.  It wasn’t enthralling every second, but I was never wishing I was somewhere else.  Right now I’m trying to get through his book The Everlasting Man, even while I have seven other books to read.  Literally.  See, I visited the Pauline Book Center in Dedham and came home with four books; Sr. Margaret then gave me two more and a friend gave me a book she thinks I should read.  Thus, I’m quite overcome with books, which is good except for the fact that I was planning to read other things before school.  Oh well, I’ll just have to live with it.
