More blog on the flip side.

Andrew Is Dead
I am, in fact, alive and kicking, so no problems there. I realise that I haven't posted much of anything in recent weeks, for which I apologise. If you check this blog regularly for updates, I expect you have been frequently disappointed by the lack thereof. Honestly, there hasn't been much to write about. But, I am about to begin reading a book by Athanasius, which should offer me some blogging material. The church fathers tend to do that to me...

I am unambivalent and so can you!
Well, there was something I was thinking about earlier that I wanted to write about, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. So that will have to wait until I remember it.
I picked up a copy of Rolling Stone today(we got a free subscription from Best Buy or something, I don't remember) and who should I see on the cover but our friend Barack Obama. Rolling Stone writes from a rather liberal political stance, so this wasn't surprising, although I thought their virtual worship of this man was excessive. On the cover was a heroic portrait of the golden boy himself, a glimmering figure of hope, symbolizing peace and free lunch in a post-Bush America. I won't bother repeating what I said in my last post, so I'm just going to say that I'm not buying it. Obama makes me feel all warm and cynical inside. To all of his supporters who are, oh, say, my age, I'd like to say please pick up your heart off the floor and go bleed on someone else's shoes. People say that he is the JFK for my generation. I call shenanigans. Ok, enough about that.
In other news, I am now an avid Team Fortress 2 player. If you at all inclined, check this game out. It's definitely the best class-based FPS I've played.
I watched "Reservoir Dogs" the other night. It's a Quentin Tarantino film, so right off the bat I knew what to expect: guns, violence, and lots of four letter words. That's basically the plot of this movie, right there. It's about this group of guys who try to pull off a diamond heist, but get ambushed by cops at the last minute. It was an interesting movie, the script was good, but it was rather short. It would've gone south had it been too much longer, because the plot couldn't expand much more the way it was laid out. But, overall, it had some interesting(if undeveloped) characters. I prefer "Pulp Fiction" of course, but "Reservoir Dogs" was still an interesting film to watch.
That's all I've got, I'm full out of ramble.
