I know I havent posted in a while. but the thing that you, the reader, need to remember is that this is because I really dont like posting. of course its not really anything personal to you, the reader. I just dont really care for sitting down and talking about nothing for a paragraph or two before bed. I mean, I could so easily just skip this step altogether. and who would even notice?
sigh.. but I guess I do have some things to say tonight. first off, for those of you who havent checked out ouranophobe lately, why dont you take a look. I completely redesigned her site for her, and I think it looks pretty nice. I know, I know. its kind of like buying a brand new car for someone who never drives anywhere, but maybe ouranophobes makeover will result in increased frequency of posts. and of course shell be in columbia again soon, so in three weeks (maybe four), the site will be back to the 4 or 5 posts a day that everybody loved so much. but why wait? go catch up on her summer.
also, I watched final fantasy tonight. I was going to write a review of it for the site, but then I remembered that Im really quite terrible at movie reviews. so what I will say is that I liked it. also, I know youve all heard about how incredible that the animation is, but what I find more important to mention is that it wasnt distracting. I was afraid that the characters similarity to real people would make any imperfections in the animation rather glaring, but it worked out all right and I found myself pretty easily immersed. as for the story, I was afraid that all of the gaia and spirit wave crap was really going to annoy me, but they handled the whole spiritual-science thing a lot better than, say, a.i. did. so I didnt feel like throwing things. and in lots of the reviews I read they mentioned the plot was convoluted, but it all seemed to make sense to me. what I do remember constantly thinking is that it would have made a pretty good video game. I think Id actually have preferred it that way. so take that for what its worth.
okay, when the phone sex ads start coming on I think that means its time for bed. (when I think about it, its kind of an insulting demographic to be part of. oh well.)
