Thats it, I'm cutting myself off...
I realized that I post alot during the morning, and not so much in the evening anymore. How strange. I supose the main reason is because I'm chatting with someone in the evening. But tonight, and for the past few nights, no one have (has?) been online. Yes, it is pathedic that my only form of comunication I resort to, to comunicate with friends, is through MSN. It's because I don't directly inpose apon them. But if they're not online, theres no way for me to talk to them. So, that leaves me here, with no one to talk to tonight.
So then what is on my mind? Well, I'm off the buying. Thats right, I'm imposing rule 14-A: Michael shalt not buy unless it is for consumered goods, such as A) Food B) Entertainment to be enjoyed on the spot such as a movie, concert, sporting event, such as mini golf, golf, bowling, ext C) Presents for a second party. I found myself walking out of HMV with two more CDs: Lightbulb Sun by Porcupine Tree, and Damnation by Opeth. Now as I was buying them, I even told myself this was it. Theres no more untill at least my birthday, perhaps even till Christmas. And that starts now. So, no more buying for Michael.
Now, having said that, there are 3 exceptions to this rule: 1. Black Clouds and Sliver Linings by Dream Theater, Frequincey by IQ and Number 7 by Phidueax. Once those are releaced, I'm rushing like a mad dog to HMV (or Amazon) and buying. There is no way I can hold myself back on those.
In other, related news, Due Drop was at HMV today, the first time I saw her in almost three months. And you know, I didn't feel anything. Had this been a few weeks ago, I would have probibly made a move on her. But today...I don't know. I just saw her. Talked to her for a while, and went on my way. I don't know what happened outside of just having time pass. I supose thats all that ever happens.
One other thing on my mind is why is it that on television programs, diolog often takes place while people are walking from one place to another. We rarely see them start walking, and we never see them arive at their intended destination. I know it's to create an illusion to fuirther the plot along, but is it really nessisary? Could that same converstion not have taken place at the water cooler? Or perhaps a street light? It just seems over used. I know I talk most of the time while I'm sitting down, or standing still. I talk while walking, that's true, but I also do it would doing other things. Heck, I'm known to talk and hold a conversation while playing Guitar Hero. I supose the main point is, why don't they show the poeple getting up and starting to move, or get to the destination? Are they affraid to show that alquord standing still when they get to the place they need to be before the converstation is over? Expesily if one of those people keeps talking longer than is needed, and the other person really needs to attend to what ever it was that made them walk to where they were going. Or worse still is that alquord silence when the converstation is over, yet they're still no where near their destination? These things really happen to people, and yet we rarely see it. With television shows trying to be as 'real' as posible, you'd think they'd put more emphisis on things like this, and less emphisis on plot twists and depths that are so rediculusly convoluted that they're never fully explained and left to die on the wayside.
That about sums up this post. Oh, as for all the books I've read, I finished reading 'Shining Darkness' by Mark Michalowski, the second doctor who book I got from the world's biggest bookstore at Christmas, and Amarican Gods by Niel Gaiman, putting the booklist now to 10. 'Shining Darkness' was really good. I enjoyed the concept and reading it more than 'Wooden Heart' even if I liked the plot of 'Wooden Heart' better. Both had very great concepts in it. 'Wooden heart' was more of the nature of humans and criminal activity.....actualy, the same can be said with Shining Darkness. Although it focused more on artificial intelegence and issues regarding racisim; although it was coded in sci fi robotics. So each of those books were really good, and I look forward to reading my other two doctor who books I got: 'The Doctor Trap' by Simon Messingham' and 'Peacemaker' by James Swallow.
Amarican Gods was amasing! Really and truely a jem to read. I know I'll be re-reading that one. It's now in my top 5 favourit books. Theres just so much in there. So many points that made me smile because 'I got it'. Those moments are rare in books, and I'm lucky to fine one book with one of those moments in it. This book had several. I loves Niel Gaiman, and he keeps giving me more and more reasons to love him.
So now I'm onto 'Fool Moon' by Jim Butcher. Even though I'm not a fan of this kind of Sci Fi, its still enjoyable to read. Some cute lines every now and then, and the story is becoming quite interesting. I'm mainly reading it as a mystry detective novil with sci fi charateristics, instead of a sci fi mystry. Like Law and Order and Werewolves.
Ok, now I think I'm done here. Wait......one last thing........
