A "What’s in/on your" meme

I’ve been tagged by Nick Norelli to say what’s in/on my:

  • CD Player
  • DVD Player
  • To Read List
  • To See List
  • Mind

So, here goes.

  • What’s a CD player? Are CDs the things that look like DVDs?
  • As for DVDs, we are going to watch Amazing Grace soon (yes, it is actually in the DVD player), but just watched Ratatouille, and before that Notes on a Scandal. We like cinematic diversity.
  • Reading? Well, I’m reading some books for the seminar I’m taking next quarter on the history of NT scholarship, including Yarchin’s History of Biblical Interpretation, Neill and Wright’s The Interpretation of the New Testament, 1861-1986, and William Baird’s two volume History of New Testament Research. But right now, I’m thinking about what will get me through the cross-continental flights for our trip to Maryland and Virginia, which I think will be Hosseini’s Kite Runner and Dickens’ Hard Times along with some good magazines and my primary voter guide.
  • To see? Atonement was on the “to see” list, but we watched that this past weekend. Other “to see” movies are No Country for Old Men, I Am Legend, Juno, and The Kite Runner (after I read the book). Though it isn’t a movie, quite high on my “to see” list is Wicked: The Musical at the Pantages Theater.
  • What’s on my mind? Where we will be living and I will be studying in the fall of 2008. Also: Christmas.

I tag: anybody who so desires to answer ;)

    ahhh … so you’re skirting the outer limits. I live firmly in the inner reaches of the DC area (Northern VA burbs to be more specific, but not terribly given this public venue :D ).

    Glad you’re “here” finally and able to put your travels behind you. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with loved ones …
