Been slowly reading my way through _Father Seraphim Rose: His life and works_. Usually I am a speedy reader, but this book is quite enjoyable in it coffee cup sized servings and slow pacing.

I would highly recommend this brick, er book, to Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike. Fr Seraphim is much more complex and wonderful than I had imagined.

I will probably have a job interview tomorrow for a technical writing position. As Friday is my last day at Cosmodemonic Telegraph [bitter indeed! can you name the reference?] this is amazing. Now, I am not trying to count my blessings before they, er, hatch, but it looks very promising. I have been quite relaxed about the whole, looking for a new job, thing. Contrary to my worthiness, God has given me the grace to *know* that he will provide for us. I have literally taken no care for tomorrow. If this works out, I will light some big fat candles and ask father to serve a molieben.

Last night I sat at my Royal typewriter and pounded out two single-spaced pages of notes on an Oxwomsi essay. I love writing on a typewriter; I have a soft spot for tactile stimuli. With a typewriter, you really have to work to write. It was my grandfathers and as such it has sentimental value. I have a younger machine, but it doesn’t handle like the Royal. And man is that sucker heavy.

As I was saying I wrote two pages of notes. When it gets into a less drafty stage I’ll post it here.

All ye saints, pray for us!
