"Well, la-dee-da."
Some things!
Treasure Planet is an awesome movie and I have a giant girlcrush on Captain Amelia.
I am compiling a music post.
I reread Shade's Children. It's still incredibly depressing, but also fantabulous, and hell if I don't feel a terrible kind of pity for [SPOILER] at the end.
Today we went living-space hunting (or inspecting, really) in Brisbane. There were three kinds of units: A (roughly the size of shoeboxes), B (slightly larger than same) and C (perhaps as large as a very large bedroom). Problem: none of them had even remotely enough space for my books, and considering there's a Borders around the corner from which I bought three more, it's a big problem. Hmmm.
It was, however, very interesting inspecting the rooms that people lived in. A few were clearly Studentrooms and thus almost buried in, well, stuff, but one was incredibly, bleakly neat and another had a copy of The Secret on the shelf, at which I pointed and laughed. I'm a bad person.
I am further is System Shock 2, and still more thoroughly creeped out!
AGH AKDSAG AGH SHODAN. I now nominate this game for the Century's Greatest Holy Shit Moment, a title previously belonging jointly to "I did it thirty-five minutes ago," and Zuko's Choice. It is possible I am biased. However, I love that I had my suspicions long before meeting up with her because she is apparently totally incapable of hiding the fathomless contempt she has for all humanity.
Diego has gone irredeemably fucknuts. Awww. I liked him. He took no bullshit. (The fact that he has Garrett's voice has nothing to with it, I promise - that, like Stephen Russell's performance as The Many, actually disturbs me quite a lot.)
On the subject of Diego going fucknuts, what an ugly, ugly fate for Bronson - and she was only trying to help! Granted, by declaring a police state and having people shot dead when they argued, but, er, it's hard to see what else she could have done.
AUGH, NURSE BLOOME - AUGH. These ghosts are so creepy.
Now I have met monkeys that set me on fire. They are annoying. Less annoying than what I have christened Those Damn Spiders, but agh, I hate enemies with projectile attacks. COME FORWARD AND LET MY CAVE IN YOUR SKULL WITH MY WRENCH, CURSE IT.
Delacroix, are you telling me you made the cyborg assassins? D: D: Please, could you, ah, not help me anymore?
It's kind of horrifyingly funny how bad The Many are at concealing when they'veassimilated recruited somebody. I mean, if the way their voices divide into choral harmony wasn't telling enough, the sudden preoccupation with unity and glory of the mass is a definite hint. What is slightly less funny and more horrifying: the flashes of personality they retain - the hacker who continues to "leave a backdoor", the scientist in love with knowledge, the way Diego remains totally straightforward even when he's telling people not to fuck around trying to resist.
I kinda want to transcribe some of the Many!speeches and SHODAN!rants for turns of phrase like "they sing in our symphony of life" and "my rebirth into beauty". They lose a bit without the voice-acting - which is amazing - but man, eloquence runs in the family.
Also, my laptop now has SHODANface.

I went to the library yesterday (finally) and I looked for Shade's Children and Across the Wall and they didn't have either checked in. Baco did give me The Seventh Tower, books 1-3 for my birthday so yeah. Hopefully it's also good! (And she gave me a best-selling book about corpses! THUMBS UP)
