Last Friday, I got to teach a class on C. S. Lewis. The professor who normally teaches it was at a conference that weekend, so he let me teach that session. I got to discuss Prince Caspian with a bunch of interested, motivated students. It was great! When I began preparing for this class, I realized I had much more material than I thought I would have. I could have spent a week talking about that book! This surprised me, because it isn't nearly as interesting (theologically speaking) as The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe or some of the other books in the series.

And speaking of LWW, the movie is coming out in a couple of months, and the new extended trailer was just released. To coincide, everybody's writing books about C. S. Lewis. I saw my old college professor (in whose C. S. Lewis class I was a student) just got his book Inside Narnia published, and the professor here (in whose C. S. Lewis class I substituted last Friday) has a book on Lewis coming out in a few weeks. (He's really excited; Borders ordered 3,000 copies.)

In other news, I noticed that my apartment lease was up last August 12. I hadn't heard anything from them, so it slipped my mind. I've been paying my monthly rental fees on time, I just didn't remember that my lease was up. I called their office and told them about it, and they said they'd send a new lease over in the next couple of days. "Thank you," I said. "I just like everything up front and legal." "We do to," they said.
