I have less than 100 pages.  It’s by far my favorite Buechner so far, and it’s incredible how simple yet profound his insight is into the biblical story of Jacob…

I’ll call you about it soon, Kate.

What’s everyone else reading right now?

(Katie, I know you listen to Feist.  I have “heard” of her for quite some time, and heard one song one day while you were listening to her, but I hadn’t really heard her til the other night…  so there you go.)

“Krauss’s novel is emotionally wrenching yet intellectually rigorous, idea-driven but with indelible characters and true suspense. It draws a career arc that may very soon surpass her husband’s, in book clubs (it’s a Today Show pick) as well as Hollywood. (Foer’s Everything Is Illuminated comes out this fall, and Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón—of Y Tu Mamá También [And Children of Men]—is already laboring on The History of Love.)”

I’m stoked.  Alfonso Cuaron is one of three new Spanish directors who I like very much.  The other two are Alejandro González Iñárritu (Amores Perros, 21 Grams, Babel) and Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth.)  I don’t know about Guillermo yet though.  I hear PL is good, and it one a bunch of Oscars.  But this guy also did Hellboy…

- John, I called you today to say that I’ve been feeling fake in our conversations and I want to be real with you.  Why only twenty minutes?  Do we not have more to share, to reveal?
- Katie, I called you today because I wanted to know if I would get to see you again before you go to Kansas.
- Matt, I called you today too because I wanted to know if you thought Paris was beautiful or only dirty.
- Ian and Bekah, I wanted to call you today but didn’t because I thought I’d wait until a post-9PM hour to use the free minutes, as I’ve been watching how much regular minutes I’ve been using (April went over…)  Sorry, maybe this weekend.  I feel a closeness to you two, an openness may be a better word, that I don’t share with the rest.  I expect harder questions from you, and thrive on them.  I’m always grateful to have been able to talk to you when we do.
- Kate, I thought of calling you too.

Others, you’re on my mind.  Have we drifted too far?  What are we doing to row closer to shore?  Anything?

- Justin, I don’t know if you know this, but I’m sorry about pushing you away Junior year.  I was a bastard, and I think entirely behind your back.  I feel shameful about it, especially because I love you and Becky Jo very much and wish I could’ve seen more of you in the time since then.
- Chester, I pray for you often.  That you’ll find a job you love, but that you’ll enjoy the time of rest you have currently.
- Sean, when will I see you again?

A commune takes community and I don’t expect it to happen if it isn’t happening now.  Do you have any thoughts?

Brandon Ross is apparently the only person who wants to know, but he’s enough…
We’re gonna go back to Greenville in two weeks and records 4 new songs, and do some more overdubs on Terror, and send them to be mixed by Atlanta’s Matt Goldman.  Matt produced such great sounding records including Copeland’s Beneath the Medicine Tree, the Chariot’s two releases as well as one of the guys who worked on the new Underoath cd.  He’s done many other records before, and seems to be the perfect fit for this EP.  More details will come in the next month or so.  In the meantime, check out Kate’s blog.

Okay, okay
Chase
