I saw "juno" at the movie theatre tonight. I really enjoyed the film, something Amanda categorized as "surprising", which I find, well, offensive would be strong, but I would say I didn't take kindly to that remark. It's not like I strictly limit myself to high body counts, extensive explosions and exhilarating car chases in my cinematic choices. After all, is it not said that variety is the spice of life? I should certainly think so. (though "the notebook" shall remain black listed)
Another recent addition to my entertainment diet is book one of the engineer trilogy, "Devices and Desires", so far an excellent fantasy novel. Both interesting and complex, but light on the fantasy cheese factor.
A friend of mine that shares a common interest of writing fiction with me, recently asked me to read and review a short story he wrote. Now don't be misled, i hold not any sort of certificate of writing, reading, or reviewing, nor am I known for deep insight, I think only our shared interest lands me this honor of participation, which I gladly carry out. Only it's hard for me to execute due to the slight twinge of guilt I feel every time I read the aforementioned story, because I don't focus as much on my writing as I would like.
Until next time, keep the engine running.
