Something a bit funny that I've been thinking about. When I was free to do as I pleased, when the reasoning behind it was solid, I enjoyed wearing my collar. Once the chains came into play, binding more and more, disintegrating the reason and symbolism for it in the first place, I simply stopped wearing the collar. (Yes, a literal collar and metaphorical chains; try to keep up. *grin*) Now that I am free again... I've started to feel the overwhelming urge to wear the collar again. But this time, for different reasons. And it feels quite good. There are symbols that we carry. Funny how mine usually seem to be metal. Heh.
This morning I conquered white gold. ...After a while. That shit is exceedingly difficult to work with, but wow will that pendant ever be stable as all hell.
I am still existing in geek euphoria after seeing Tron: Legacy in IMAX 3-D tonight. I question the mental abilities of anyone taking to seriously bitching about either plot (did you see the original movie? ever? is that just thick with plot that no one else can see or what?) or character relationships (that... is a father-son dynamic; it may not be yours, but then I doubt you could quite consider the scope of the situation). But then I fucking hate Michael Bay's concept of Transformers and I always will fucking hate Michael Bay's concept of Transformers, so what do I know. I love the geeky-shiny, I revel in it, it was awesome, funny, incredible, would see again, A++. LIGHTCYCLES. The only "screaming in the theater" moment was a moment near the end where I sort of proved the depth of my inner geek to myself but you don't really need to know about that. And yeah, Olivia Wilde. So much yeah. Ahem. Michael Sheen also cracked me the fuck up for obvious reasons.
Saturday night, I finally saw Inception. I'll be kicked for saying I didn't like it nearly as much as Tron: Legacy, but whatever. It was enjoyable even though I have an odd instant-hate of Leonardo DiCaprio (no, I seriously don't know why), but I do enjoy Joseph Gordon-Levitt more every time I see him (and was reminded of G.I. Joe through that whole snow thing and dammit please hurry up and make the sequel because the original was damn fun and I want some Cobra goodness). It was fun with intriguing ideas, gorgeous visuals, a nice little puzzle or two, and a classic ending that somehow seems to more recently turn the internet-savvy movie-going audience into whining like spoiled brats who need to be picked up and carried everywhere. (Now, it is one thing not to like an ending. It is another thing to demand it solidified/explained.) I am also curious as to whether or not Cillian Murphy notices that he spends an awful lot of screen time with a bag over his head these days. Maybe Nolan has a "thing". *grin*
Linked to “The Average Gamer” == /rolleyes for one very important quote: "The concept of 'the average gamer' is a bunch of bullshit and worthless in every way." Check out the graph. It is a good graph.
Aaaaand I'm just going to relax for the rest of the night so my hand recovers and I can get back to work tomorrow. Here's hoping we see fully-formed chocobos popping up by the end of the month.
(Now I am going to repeat to myself, I will not look for Clu (2)/Tron out of sick curiosity. I will not look for Clu (2)/Tron out of sick curiosity. I will not. And I certainly will not be tempted to write it just to see if I can. That'd be wrong.)
