Well, they turned on video support at flickr, which apparently means we've just plunged headlong into the end times; at least, that's the impression you'd get from the mass freakout that's ensued since. People who are afraid that it'll myspace-ize the community are spamming forums with banner gifs and (good grief) lolcats. Seriously? My irony robot just gave up and moved someplace warm, & without internet.
In other news, so very, very busy. Between getting ready for the big move and work and ignoring my taxes (eep), I've barely had time to breathe, much less write... and definitely not enough to watch the new Sense and Sensibility mini, which I've been looking forward to for, well, it seems forever! Been taking Promethea in ten-page increments, just slowly enough for the library to alert me that the next volume's arrived just when I need it, and after that I have Persepolis... Beg apologies for the fragmented update, but I'm awash in every luxury but time.
And my thoughts with you and yours, Romy. Godspeed.
GNE.flickr.com? I've never wanted any April fool's joke to be real* more than this one. Is it 2003 again? It was eerie and wonderful to wander the old roads, crossing through firefields and city squares. Absinthe is still there, though it seems much more like a luxury in an economic downturn that has seemingly extended to my in-game pocketbook as well. And old faces (many with new names), sounding much as if they'd dropped in directly from then. I don't want it to end, but I'm afraid to get too attached, should they break my heart again ... but will they? Oh, they make tantalizing noises: "we'll have to fix that," dangling the possibility of a future. Is there a place for a little freeform gaming in the new new economy? I fear not, but I'll enjoy this carriage until the moment it becomes a pumpkin again.
In other (more mundane) news, "Still Alive" is possibly the only song in Rock Band where singing in a manner true to the original actually coincides with maximum scoring potential. Which should help the efforts of the Aperture Science Self Esteem Fund for Girls. It's true!
*Honestly, I have no real desire to live on Mars. Where would I get my ahi poke?
