Well, the real fun begins in earnest next week, as the second internship kicks into gear. There's still a little time before all hell breaks loose, but it's maybe two weeks. Two weeks at most and then we get to see the real fun of a library internship.

I spent most of today enjoying time off by watching Serenity, then Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (both of the movies were visually stunning, plotwise, both could have been better. Although, with two exceptions, namely the fight in Aeris's church and the big brawl with the Bad Dude, the Turks stole the show. And that was entertaining enough. I think Rude spoke more in that movie than he ever did in the game.

And then I played through one level of Chain of Memories, after finally grabbing all of the rare and interesting treasures from the levels that I skipped. So eight stages down... looks like eight stages more to go.

Sustainability may be a lot of small steps, rather than one big one. Of course, why we've been waiting this long is still a little bit of a headscratcher, but at least people are making progress.

More suggestions that Iraq is resembling Vietnam. It depends on whether soldiers start fragging their COs.

On a lighter note - Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham, Qabalistic. Yep, how Sam-I-Am is really the divine will. Enjoy.

Yep, so not much from me tonight. I suppose that's a good thing in some ways, it means that things are keeping quiet. Anyway, it's well past bedtime, so see you in the morning, where I plan on watching some Hare and Guu.

I saw it for the first time a couple weeks ago, and I liked it... but I think the main flaw in it was bringing Sephiroth back. If they hadn't jumped through all those hoops to try to make everyone's favorite uber-bishie's return from the dead kind-of-sort-of-semi-not-really plausible, the story wouldn't have been anywhere near as much of a stretch to believe.

I think it would have been a lot better had the Sephiroth clones simply tried to carry on their original's work. Perhaps the leader could have had delusions that he was channelling the original's spirit, but he should have been his own villain.

Of course, if Sephy *hadn't* been in it, the fanboys would have screamed even more than they are already. There probably wasn't a way for Squeenix to win here.

And... the bit in the church with the battle fanfare? That was hysterical. I giggled for five minutes.
