...in which I review various media forms I have devoured.

Finished A Prayer for Owen Meany... most heartbreaking book I've ever read. Cried like a baby. Hate John Irving. Fuck you John for making me care.

Watched the 1963 The Lord of the Flies... nature documentary cinematography, bad child actors.. needs to be re-done, but won't because it's two hours of naked boys. Oops, I guess it was redone in 1990. Guess I'll watch it and hope. Maybe I should read the book.

Watched About Schmidt... Jack Nicholson doing the Bill Murray thing... older guy learns about his wasted life... pretty funny, odd, endearing. Beware... mullet alert and a naked Kathy Bates.

Tried to watch Futurama... still convinced that's a crap show. I've never giggled even once.

Played more Baldur's Gate II... completely stuck... there's still missions to do, but I can't figure out how to trigger them... don't want to sail away yet. Bastards.

Don't know what to read now... might dig into the Satanic Verses if I can't get my hands on the second George R.R. Martin book.

I didn't like Futurama when it was on. But I've caught re-runs and now I really like it. The biggest reason is that they lay out story lines in season one they pick up in season 2 or 3 ect. There is actually thought put into the world you don't often see with cartoons. When you go back and re-watch it you can see "clues" you missed the first time around.

Lord of the Flies still creeps me out.

Someone told me LotF is a pedophiles wet dream... young English schoolboys, naked on a beach. Eeeewww.

I've tried waching Futurama like three or four times now and I haven't been able to keep attention for an entire episode yet.

It is. lol

I've tried liking Seinfield, still can't so I understand where you are coming from with Futurama.
