Zen Crib Notes

I've just watched "Good Will Hunting" in completion for the first time, and not in snippets from televised appearances which actually enhanced my interest in the film. I'm surprised at how good it was and that it was different to what my initial impression of it, which I guess was that I thought it was going to be more philosophical in some way. Well, a lot of things can seem more philosophical during teenage years than they really should be.

I also bought Dragon Age: Origins for the PC about last week. I've downloaded it from Amazon, which took almost two days which in hindsight was foolish, and I really really really really like it. I now understood the hype. It's actually my first RPG that's from North America, so it feels more different than what I'm used to. Getting the hang of the battle system and I'm currently stuck in the Fade trying to find my wayward companions who are lost in a nightmarish dreamscape where I'm not used to battling around as a single character. Battling in real time, mind.

I'm playing Fem!Cousland, and I'm very sure that I've made her more Animesque than I intended, but it's not grotesque. I'm really digging the characters, so there's not one that I disliked or found to be boring, so I really got to praise Bioware to making interesting people. And excellent dialogue, because I haven't really played a game where I can actually notice how good the dialogue is.

I want to write dialogue like that.... I WILL BE INSPIRED! I will practice and do it!

Cuz, yeah, NaNoWriMo, right? Sure.... Megaflare must be done, though. And my philosophy essays. And my reading, oh man I need to get on that (damn you LOCKE). And homework. In which all of that is writing.
