Jan. 17th, 2007 10:35 pmHello. Sorry for the long silences -- I've been mostly internet-hibernating, lately. I've been very gradually moving through my f-list, but I've mostly only been checking up on a few of you who I know have been having a hard time lately. Mostly I'm in internet-detox mode. Too much time spent here doesn't seem to be healthy for me, and puts me in an unpleaant state of mind.
I'm getting a lot of hours in at work. I've been writing -- one month after my rewrite began I hit 57,000 words. I've been reading Irving Layton in little bits -- I'm mostly past his really bad and Social Darwinist poems and into the rich nature poems he was writing towards the end of his life.
Other than that, I've been dabbling in Final Fantasy XII. Not very far into it, but it's a brilliant game, in spite of its tendency to rip off Star Wars. Still, it generally does it much better than George Lucas ever did.
Replacing Han Solo with a gentleman pirate was an inspired choice, though replacing Chewbacca with the ultimate Playboy bunny was not. Chewbacca should not be replaced by anything wearing a steel bustier.
