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...
