So yeah. The stuffness returns, and the arc continueth. ::wink:: I hope, as always, that you are not disappointed.
Ah, yes. Things. How I love to tell you about things. What shall I tell you today? That I enjoy The Sifl & Olly website; the new Spider-Man series on MTV (of all places! That they should go back to cartoons, nearly a decade after Liquid Television! Nothing short of remarkable to this easily-amused soul) is worth watching, despite its less than eye-popping CG... (and Spidey's voice is none other than Neil Patrick Harris, wowzers!) actually, it looks very much, in fact, like cel-shaded animation, which is no doubt why I was reminded partly of the glorious Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus while watching it.
Oh, and despite an unusually long windup, Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age is evolving into something uniquely readable. Not that I doubted the man's skill, holy crap no, just that it seemed, like I said, unusually long in the windup. I suppose anything would, though, once you get that whip-crack intro in Snow Crash, the work for which Stephenson is most widely known (and perhaps even worshipped). And Hiro Protagonist can't be the hero-protagonist in every novel, you know. ::chuckle::
Enough private jokes between me and the other unknown number of Neal Stephenson fans out there. ANNIE IS TIRED AND NEEDS SLEEP BADLY. ...There! An old Gauntlet joke to draw in more people. And some humor for everyone: I like pants. Heehee! Ah, we all feel good. That's nice.
Now to see about that sleep... be well. ::falls over on face:: ::snore::
