Hey there...
It's already been a pretty weird weekend, and it only started several hours ago. What the hell is up with that? I won't divulge the details here, but...damn. I'm more confused than President Bush at a Mideast Peace Summit.
I keep wanting to do the Friday Five, but by the time I get around to posting, it's already like, Saturday. Well, shit. :P
I got one of my Changeling books in the mail today. "Fool's Luck: The Way of the Commoner". Every once in a while, you're reminded of why you love creating stuff in the first place...of all the wonderful stories that inspire you and all the stories that have yet to be told. It's...amazing how stupid stuff still makes me cry.
Changeling is a beautiful, beautiful work of art.
So, "Star Wars" mania has smacked down on people with full force, and it seems I can't turn around without hitting a light-sabre, or at least the drool stream of some crazed fanboy who absolutely *has* to tell me how wonderful it is...and when I tell these people how I'm not really into it, they stare at me stupidly like I have a third arm growing out of my ass or something. One friend even told me I just didn't like Star Wars because it's 'cool not to like Star Wars'.
Get a fucking grip, people. Star Wars is not a bad story, and I don't dislike it. I'm sure it's really neat and all, but I'm JUST NOT INTO IT. I don't mind it, I've seen all four episodes so far, and it was all right. Not mind-blowingly awesome. Not the answer to all of mankind's problems. Just...OK. And I'm really not inclined to get excited about it. I will not begrudge other people's right and duty to love it all they want to. I'm just not one of those people. Not even close. I've got things that I love, that I'll spazz about to anyone and everyone who'll listen, so I know how it goes. Just don't go looking at me like I'm some kind of freak, or even worse, so poser-boy for anti-societal cool, because I don't share your level of enthusiasm.
Thank you.
Now, that being said...will I go see Episode II? Probably, with a bunch of local furs who'll see it maybe today or next weekend. But that's mainly for the experience. I may like, even *love*, the movie. But I'm not really holding my breath.
Arlekin's graduation is in a few hours, so that's really cool. I'll be wearing my 'pooka suit' to it, and hopefully I won't be going alone...that'd just look silly. :)
Anyway, I think I'm gonna go eat some food and maybe watch TV. Yum, food and TV.
