I’ve finished “Stranger in a Strange Land” - it’s pretty damn good! Apparently the version I read isn’t the version that was first released, it’s about 70,000 words thicker (yay) as the original was deemed a) a tad too long and b) had stuff removed so as not to offend “public taste”. Group sex is nawty, see Wish that the book hadn’t ended so soon, like the Lord of the Rings, the universe is so compelling that you want to know what happens to the remaining characters. Last night, mostly bored, I watched X2. not a bad sequel, but not as awe inspiring as the trailer had me to believe. Answered a few questions, which was nice, and Lenshaw’s character was interesting, tho would have been more interesting without the inevitable “bad guy” thing at the end. Watching "Alan Cummings" playing a mutant was interesting. Still think he needed at least one “Ooh dearie me” in there, but hey It’ll be interesting to see what they do with Phoenix - Jean Grey’s character seemed definitely to be building up to that, and X men 3 is slated for release in 2006. And was that Hank McCoy I saw in the newscast when Mystique is seducing the security guard? In other news - watched the B5 TVM “Legend of the Rangers”. Lyta’s “no longer with us” And I wasn’t aware that Andreas Katsulas could be any camper, but I was proven wrong. Not a bad attempt, but it seemed like the CGI was skimped on and the acting was straight from “The Bold And the Beautiful”. Not a bad plot I suppose, and the ghost in one sequence was actually quite scary, tho the premise was tired and old. 5/10 Failed entirely to finish the KHRP stuff I was meant to do, but I’d just had far too much of a stressy day to really care much. Ah well. Kinda wondering what to do with my life right now. I can stay with what I know, understanding that I’m not really very happy. Or I can make a few drastic changes and take the risk that being “not really very happy” isn’t feeling miserable, but could be. I need a change, everything feels stagnant. I’m going to start by changing my mind and body, and hope that my hypothesis is correct. If it is, I shall write a book
