Sunday, March 07, 2004 Restless Finally got to see The Return of the King on Saturday. Did that not freakin' rock!?! Holy crap, what an awesome way to end the whole trilogy. Nope, I never read the books, so I'm sure there's a teaspoon of a brown dwarf worth of stuff left out, and several parts I was genuinely confused on who was who (like the brother who's father wished it had been him who died; or when the orcs overran the ruined fortress, I thought, oh they just recycled that set from The Two Towers, but no, it was supposed to be the same place) and I can't possibly remember any non-main character's name, but I Don't Care. It kicked ass and was probably one of the best things I've seen since the original Star Wars movies wrapped up. It reminded me how much I liked fantasy. Some day, I'll try tackling the novels, but I couldn't possibly right now. I just don't have the time. Which brings me to my point. I've had that trapped-in-the-house-on-Sunday-and-I-can't-seem-to-fish-or-cut-bait thing going on all day. Actually, I've been getting it all week. I think it's the onset of Spring that's bringing up all this conflicting garbage and generally messing with my muse. When I do get time, I flip-flop for so long I simply run out the clock. I keep looking for something to play, but all the demos I download don't really do anything for me. I've been uninterested in the games I have; they're just not holding my attention right now - or the ones I want to play are too involved (NeverWinter Nights). So I try to write and that's not working either. I reread some of the fragments I have and nothing strikes a cord. I've try doing some cold writing but that just ends up being a mess. I got a whole two bloody pages before I realized I had no idea what I wanted it to be. Hell, I switched tenses after the first third. I keep reminding myself that I'm really not into a groove yet. But the lack of interest is starting to feel like a rut and I really don't want to go there again. :P See? I've already burned enought time that I really need to go to bed. It feels early, but all last week I screwed myself by staying up to 1 AM every night. Mostly over nothing... posted by Evil Wayne | 11:04 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
