  • skiercross on TV
  • espresso ice cream
  • people releasing books for free on the internet
  • Grand Cru’s Rodelbach (beer that tastes like salad dressing)
  • working as a kourier

And now some things I’m not so much a fan of.

  • fuzzy head.
  • delays with my EMS certification
  • not skiing right now
  • termites in the ceiling
  • football being done for the season. looks like I’ll have to find another way to occupy myself on sundays.
  • not making a lot of money as a courier

That’s really all I’ve got. I saw Rambo last night, and it was surprisingly affecting. I was not particularly stoked on it, as I expected a jingoistic “Go America” action movie, and was pissed off at the promoters trying to co-opt stencil art for their ad campaign. But it’s not a particularly pro-American movie, nor does it glorify violence. It’s incredibly gory, like seeing through people’s exit wounds kind of detailed gory, but it also shows people getting freaked out by the carnage. Gave me a lot to think about. Stallone as John Rambo doesn’t particularly try to be an action hero, either, which I think is pretty classy of him.

I can’t believe I just called Sylvester Stallone classy.
