Facts

Four months is far too long to go without eating at Steak N Shake.

Cycler's Cafe is the best bike shop I have ever been to... that has a restaurant and coffee shop. Naked Chicken Burrito = almost Qdoba quality.

Heine Bros, while a poor substitute for Quills, actually has a fairly legitimate cup of drip.

Third declension Greek nouns don't like me very much, and the feeling is mutual.

Bon Iver's "For Emma, Forever Ago" is one of the most genuine and refreshing (perhaps genuinely refreshing?) albums I have heard in a long time. Favorite tracks, "Skinny Love" and "Re: Stacks".

Now both of my brothers work for a Starbucks, making me the only Butterworth not wearing a green apron to work.

Art @ Sunergos


Local artist Mickey Winters has a variety of her work on display (and for sale) at Sunergos for the month of September. Conveniently, the month of September also is the month of my birthday, so if anyone wants to purchase the piece "One God" (pictured above) for me, I wouldn't turn them down.

Either way, be sure to stop by and appreciate it in person.

Shuffle

Recently my "shuffle" playlist on my Ipod has featured:

"Paper Planes" by M.I.A.
"Murder in the City" by The Avett Brothers
"Inside a Boy" by My Brightest Diamond
"Someone Great" by LCD Soundsystem
"Cape Canaveral" by Conor Oberst
"Lovers in Japan" by Coldplay
"I'm Not Going to Teach Him How to Dance With You" by Black Kids

However, the tracks that are getting by far the most plays are my Greek vocabulary words, read aloud by William Mounce. Tuesday's quiz will see whether the neglecting of my preferred indie/folk playlist has been worth it.

Louisville Alleycat

My friend Jess Britt has asked to ride on the R.T.A. (Red Tie Affair) team for this year's Mondo Crazy Alleycat Race. If I can manage to get off work it should be a good time.

State Lines

8 riders + 2 states + 17 (plus) miles = 1 awesome ride.

Quote of the Day

"Thus the origin of art does not lie in the perception of something which is present, but in an impulse to go beyond that which already exists. Art is always the child of the longing for something else."

New Dean at Boyce College.

My college has a new dean, Dr. Denny Burk. Burk, who holds a Ph.D. from SBTS and a Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary, returns to the Southern Seminary community after teaching New Testament at Criswell. I had the opportunity to meet Dean Burk at the student leadership retreat last week. He gave a short message about the centrality of the gospel in theological education that was very encouraging. I am eagerly anticipating what happens in the future of Boyce College.
