tianning! I hope my wonderful Hareball had a great day yesterday.
I wish I could report on some interesting things I've been doing, but the truth is, although I've been busy, nothing interesting has transpired. Mostly I've been playing video games and doing screencaps. I've replayed FFXII and done all the screencaps I'm going to do from that one, and now I'm doing Kingdom Hearts (and will be doing caps from that, too). I am considering replaying FFX, because my new(er) DVD recorder gets better images. On the other hand, that would be a lot of time and work... heh. We'll see. I've also done screen caps from several animated films, especially Kung Fu Panda (made lots of character pages for AL) and its sequel. I also made a page for my beloved Reepicheep. Remind me never to bitch too loudly about CG animation again.
I have also been watching movies. This weekend it was The Dark Knight, which I enjoyed just as much as the first time. That says something about the film, because the first time I saw it in the theater, so this time the "Ooh wow" factor was gone, and so were the surprises. But the movie has so much "meat" to it that it was amazingly good the second time, and, I suspect, will continue to be on more viewings. That movie satisfies on so many levels, and that, not the SFX, is what makes it good.
Which reminds me, the LA Critics named Wall-E the best movie of the year. WTF?? I mean, I liked Wall-E. It was cute, charming, and fun. But come on. It had all the emotional depth of any Disney movie, which is to say, it was pretty shallow. For animated films, I much preferred Kung Fu Panda, but to pick Wall-E as better than The Dark Knight...??? That makes me wonder if Pixar has a budget line item for bribes.
I have been under a lot of pressure at work, again, so for two weeks I haven't written a thing. Must fix that, or I'll end up like last year, not writing anything until November. Maybe what I need is a deadline. Anyone out there willing to nag me to death if I don't produce a chapter of Prelude by this time next week? (Yes, I'm serious.)
