Smells Like Nostalgia
Sep. 12th, 2007 04:18 pmThe benefit of forgetting to shuffle songs: I might never have realized that I had four versions of "Alone and Forsaken" on the iPod. All of them are awesome.
Today I am wishing I lived on a spaceship. Anyone with docking information on Moya, Serenity, or the Starjammer (or the Spelljammer, for that matter), please contact me. Anyone wishing to provide references to the effect that I have skills appropriate for space travel and/or adventuring (in other words, anyone willing to lie for me), please contact me discreetly.
The best movie I've seen lately was "Oldboy," which was deeply, deeply fucked up and also deeply engrossing.
I finished re-reading Watchmen last night; it'd been long enough that I'd forgotten a lot of things. Like re-reading The Stars My Destination, it was a bit of a shock to realize how much of it my subconscious had turned bits of it into bits of my own stories. I'm fine with stealing stuff when I know I'm doing it, but it's a bit distressing to realize that sometimes I do it and have no clue that I'm doing it. I'm afraid to re-read any more of my top books, now.
As I am finishing up the Succession book (there may be a title poll later, as I still haven't settled on one), I am having the distressing feeling that it is not done. I mean, it's over 100k, so it's a book. My fear is that too many things are left unresolved, and a part of my brain is screaming "SEQUEL!" To be honest, it's been screaming that for the better part of a year, but I've had it locked up in a cell in the basement where I couldn't hear it. Somebody make it shut up.
