I've got an exciting update - I'm now engaged!  Grin

I'm really excited to get married to the most wonderful woman I've ever met.  I'm truly a lucky man.  We'll be getting married this August and we might be living near DC rather than staying in the Denver area.

Free beers for everyone!  Cool

Well, I got myself ordained a priest, which is why I haven't been here in far too long.  But my World Lit class is coming back to D, so I'll spare all the time I can.

Congrats, Fyodor.  Here's a humorous Oscar Wilde line for you:

     I'm going to give one of my classmates a rose.

     I'll take this chance to introduce myself.

     My name is Ian Kinzel, age 17.  I like to write, and I aspire to become a novelist.  Orson Welles and Fyodor Dostoyevsky are my two idols; I can't resist old movies and Russian literature.

I watched Citizen Kane five times before I realized it was based on the life of William Randolph Hearst (with creative license, of course.) And they call me the best in my history class...  

My biggest news is the college I'm transferring to doesn't offer the minor I wanted, or its rough equivilent.  And then I want to take online courses at a college of divinity... but I'm not sure why.

f_p,

have you seen the orson welles film, the trial? I heard that it was based on a kafka novel.  I just watched it last night and it was pretty sweet.  I was wondering though if you might know what was that scence with the artist and little girls supposed to be about, it really creeped me out.

     Yes; I have seen "The Trial".  I consider it Welles' second-best film, after "Touch of Evil" (the restored DVD version).  In fact, I have recorded the entire fable at the beginning onto my cell phone, and I know it by heart.
     My interpretation of "The Trial" as a whole is that Kafka wanted to satirize the Christian church.  The painter represents one who has bought into the system and joinded the congregation; he tells Joseph K. that one needs faith  in the subordinate officials (priests/ministers) who follow the will of some unseen power (just guess; I dare you to!).  The screaming girls represent a congregation; they are senseless, capable only of thinking what the rest of them are thinking.  At least, that was Kafka's view.

Argh! I know so many church people like that [insert name of certain person at the moment] --I know the whole of Christianity isn't like that. But they make the rest of us look very stupid. [insert several hours of ranting here...]
