xyzzysqrlWell. I'm happy, genuinely cheerful, seem to have found some energy to invest in things, have managed to leave the apartment recently, and my mood hasn't been swinging or plunging lately. Much less depressed than usual.
So why do I have the suspicion that something horrible will happen soon? (Hopefully NOT pattern recognition.)
Anyway. There's been a fair amount of Dragon Quest 9 (which is wonderful) and Champions Online (which is... tolerable. Interesting.) and a fair bit of reading. Not so much watching stuff, although that is a feature that will return, because I am eager to get through some other shows and into Digimon for dinosaur/dragon fanservice.
It does not matter if there is actually none in the show. I will INVENT some and sail that ship off over the horizon.
In other news I've recontacted a few old friends recently thanks to various means. BBS subculture has ripples extending out even to 2010. Who knew? So much of my life has been spent in conversations with a monitor. Almost all of it has been worth it.
Hopefully a more substantial post later. This is more "Hello! I am still here. Goodbye!"

Date: 2010-08-07 05:47 am (UTC)I remember you talking about how you liked the politicaly stuff in the Star Wars prequels and cartoons and stuff, when normally people don't, and I was reading a book and I thought, "I wonder if Gordy would like these books?"
It's the Lord of the Isles series by David Drake, do you know it? It has lots of political intrigue and stuff. In the latest book I'm reading, they're having a major meeting and discussing the terms of this one island staying in the kingdom and not getting killed, and then everybody freaks out because there's this big demon in the sky, but it turns out it's just a cloud and they go back into the tent to discuss things more.
Does that sound like something that would appeal to you? There's action and adventure and fantasy and wonder and joy and zombies and shepherds. I think you would like it. Also lots of architecture. I think David Drake is an architecturephile.
