Time flies like a long-necked goose, except when it’s looking backwards and seeing where it’s been.

I’ve been up and down since the weekend. Fri + Sat were fine. Sunday started well. After lunch, the rest of the day went downhill with sickness. I’m not sure what to blame, but I believe food poisoning from “Dining Services” (aka the cafteria) was the culprit. My plans of Scrabble domination and country swing dancing suffered the same terrible fate as my lunch that day. Be glad, for I won’t go there.

Felt better yesterday. Mostly. Kinda tired still even today. Not much occuring so far this week. Class and the usual Monday-Tuesday stuff. Freshman Connection tonight. I’m actually prepared more than an hour in advance. (w00t!)

Now what shall I do with the time before me? Squander it? Use it for God’s glory? (Stewardship is the Bible Study for F.C. tonight.)

I think I’ll make a phone call. Bye!

James Lilek’s has an enticing review of Matrix Revolutions. I love his writing, especially when it’s something he’s passionate about and has time to invest in writing about. In this review, he portrays his thoughts on the second movie and expectations on the third. He then goes on to shred another review of the Matrix for its poorly contrived analogies and ideas.

I don’t know what’s more frightening–the idea that anyone takes this boy seriously, or the idea that he’s right: an entire generation got their moral instruction from a Matthew Broderick movie about a computer named after a Burger King specialty.

One of the most intriguing thoughts in his conclusions about the movie is the following:

All three Matrix movies, seen in total, ache for a God. But they can’t quite go all the way. They’re like three movies about circular flat meat patties that can never quite bring themselves to say the word “hamburger.”

Read it for yourself. It’s worth the time. (Don’t read it if you haven’t seen the movie yet.)
