The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

I went to see The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy this afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it. No, it’s not the BBC series (radio or television), it’s not the book, but it’s still good fun. Alan Rickman did an absolutely wonderful job as Marvin. It was good to see Trillian as more than just window dressing. The Vogons were great. Zaphod was too!

Go see it, it’s worth the price of admission.

Christ Is Risen!

Today is Pascha, the feast of the Resurrection, also known as Easter. Today we celebrate Christ’s resurrection from the dead. There’s too much there for me to say any better than what’s on the OCA website. It will have to be sufficient to say that this is the feast of the Christian year.

I arrived at St. Maximus’s at around 11:00 PM Saturday night, services started at 11:30 and ran until about 3:30 Sunday morning, at which time we broke the fast with meats, cheeses, alcohol, and the other foods we’ve been fasting from for the last six weeks.

I got home a few minutes ago and am going to get some much needed sleep.

Christ Is Risen!
