Apr. 1st, 2002 10:44 amso having just explained to sarah that i write so i won't forget, it occurs to me that i should get back to writing.
not that anything of import has happened lately. been playing the battletech card game a decent amount. been playing _planescape: torment_, which is a decent game with an incredibly cool plot (i haven't been this happy with the plot of a computer game since _thief_). got my drama midterm back... B+. not bad. may get the renlit midterm back if i go to class this week (we're watching the recent film version of _Titus Andronicus_, which was okay, but i've never been big on watching movies in class, especially not piecemeal).
at some point (the previous weekend?) emily and adam and ross and i sat down and watched _albino alligator_ (directed by kevin spacey), which was interesting but not really what i'd call *good*. directed well, but you can only do so much with a fundamentally so-so script. then we watched _the thomas crown affair_, which has a really really good beginning and ending, but the middle started to drag a little. still a fun movie. and faye dunaway (the chick from the original) plays the psychiatrist, which was neat. i doubt i would have realised it if she hadn't been in _albino alligator_.
emily and i are halfway through _cowboy bebop_. it's fairly cool. i am happy with it.
i'm rereading _mordant's need_, because stephen donaldson is just that cool. last time i read it i felt like it was a dry run for the Gap series. this time i feel like it's taken some of the ideas from the Covenant books and refined them. the thing is, it's such a _real_ world. it feels much more real to me than the Land ever did. places have _culture_, not just history. despite the fact that terisa hasn't been outside the castle yet, it feels much more developed.
