We watched The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy last night and then went down the block to Bluepoint Fish Club to have a drink. The movie was humorous enough, but it ended up being more cute than I imagined it would be. I guess it’s hard to turn nonsense into a Disney blockbuster.

The drink was a bottle of Evolution from Sokol Blosser Winery of Oregon. It was tremendously fruity, more than we cared for. We sipped on it for an hour or so before some friends of ours arrived. Some topics of conversation with said friends were the now-defunct band twothirtyeight - in my opinion the local music scene lived and died with this band, but a lot of my high school friends that are still in this music scene would probably slap me for saying that - and James Gustafson’s Ethics from a Theocentric Perspective. Chris Staples, the lead singer of twothirtyeight is now in Seattle with a solo project called Discover America. I’ve only listened to a couple of his new songs, but they’re not bad. Gustafson was proposed to us a Reformed thinker, but I doubt that seriously. I guess if you believe in the sovereignty of God, you’re Reformed to a lot of people. He sounded more like a determinist - a theo-fatalist, but I don’t know, since I had not heard of him before last night. Does anyone know of him?
