hot child in the city, cat-eating bird.

Two things:

1. I'm in the thrall of Mystery of Time and Space, which is a GUI interactive game. Currently I'm stuck in the room with the fireplace and the triangular object and the cabinet that I can't see into for some reason. Also the big scary hand. But I'm going out to do errands and when I come back I'll assume you all will have lapped me, at which point I can ask for hints. (ratcreature, mace_m, I am counting on both of you. Also jood).

2. Apparently I'm the only one utterly non-nonplussed by my Farscape Ficathon assignment. I'm quite happy with what I got, and I almost have ideas, which is a whole other matter, and requires watching tapes of episodes I don't think I have and will therefore have to harangue someone into providing for me.

In this, I've realized I'm far, far less fannish about Farscape than I am/have been about shows I've been...fannish about. Watched an episode yesterday (title withheld for the sake of possible prowling Ficathon people) and was completely underwhelmed. Which isn't to say it's not a smart show. It is. It's just not my show. Which is, go figure. But give me Delenn or Londo or Lennier any day.

That being said, stay tuned. andrastewhite and I are gearing up to provide the Next Great Ficathon, one which even you won't wanna miss.

The preceding was a paid advertisement.

3. I now know, with unfair intimacy, precisely what the cat who ate the canary looks like. I can also tell you that despite what you've heard, the cat-bird seat is not nearly as appealing as it sounds, and I'd recommend something in the loge.

I have to admit that I only got through MOTAS by googling for walk-throughs, because I just didn't have the patience for doing it on my own. I suck at computer games. The last one I actually had the inclination and patience to do on completely my own was Myst way back when, and I guess that had a lot to do with the fact that to play it I had to visit my older brother (I didn't own a PC then) and got to hang out with him.

I OWN that weird hand and big machine room. I unlocked the thingy, too, come back from your trip. For once I'm smarter than you. *g*

I am stuck on Level Whatever after the spacesuit. Gah!

Never tried the game; I'm spending too much time on the net as it is.

(Speaking of which, shall we continue the dinner with Timov?)

And I know what you mean about Farscape. I really, really like it, and admire it, and am occasionally frustrated by it, but I never had the urge to write fanfic, and I never obsessed about the characters and storylines the way I did for B5.

What ficathon would that be?
