(no subject)
So I have a confession to make... I have quit watching this season of Heroes. I was so excited after the first season, because it was so much fun, but last season was lackluster and this season (what I've watched) has been crap. I won't go into details, but I think I have said enough.
In other news, I think I might have found another author (at this point it should be noted that four beers were drunk before finishing this sentence) that I am really enjoying. I have gotten picky lately. When I was in high school, I would read about anything. Now I find i find an author I know I like and just read everything they have ever written. I am getting into my second book by Neal Stephenson, The Diamond Age or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer, and so far its really good. I have previously read Snow Crash by him and that was good. Looks like I'll keep going till I find a stinker.
In leaving I'll leave you with the song lyrics that have been running through my head. And I'll buy a cookie for the person who can guess the character the lyrics refer to. AND NO GOOGLE SEARCHES OR OTHER INTERNET HELP. I know how you guys operate. And Dan, you aren't allowed to answer, 'cause I let you listen to it. And no one can talk to Dan about the answer. Here goes:
*start music*
There was another who came before you
He was a hero and your brother and my son.
He fought the darkness, the darkness won.
And he fought bravely, and he died bravely
But he was forsaken by the ones he wished to save.
And when he died he died in vain.
*end music*
I'll give one hint by saying it is from the first act of a rock opera. And no, I really don't expect anyone to get it or even really try. Though I will buy you a cookie if you do.
Maybe a big one from the mall if you ask nice.
