Hey everyone, I just wanted to do a bit of a personal update, since things have been fairly blank here for a while.

First of all, my wife is currently 3 months pregnant for our first child :D. So that's really exciting. I'm a guy, so I don't know how to talk about this... so I'll just move on.

Second, I don't know if I've mentioned this on my blog, but I got a new job a few months ago working with people with developmental disabilities. It is a really good job, and the agency has a spiritual care department which I hope to be able to transfer into within the next couple of years. If, at some point, I don't really think that is going to happen, I intend to start looking for a chaplaincy position, but I'll wait at least three years before really pursuing that. I would rather move within this organization since I really like it.

Third, and this is completely unrelated, I've often talked about having "a list" of movies that I really need or want to see. I've never really composed such a list... until now! Some are on the list because, as a lover of film, that are landmark movies that are important for reference. Others are on there because I just flat out want to see them. Then there are a couple that I'm just a tad curious about. So I thought I would print it here and see if anyone has any other films I should probably add (I know there are some, but I only compiled this list in 15 minutes):

* seen it before (or part of it) but don't remember it well
  • *All About Eve
  • Blade Runner
  • * Breakfast at Tiffany's
  • Book of Eli
  • The Bridge Over the River Kwai
  • Bringing Up Baby (Cary Grant and K Hepburn)
  • Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
  • * Casablanca
  • Die Hard 2 & 4 (Because I've seen 1 & 3)
  • Dr. Strangelove
  • * Enter the Dragon
  • Godfather
  • Gone With the Wind
  • The Good, the Bad, And the Ugly
