(no subject)

Now, I don't want to be nasty, but... well, dad started having an MSN convo with stepmother, under my name and the boy's, and I was just reading it and they were complaining about how it's weird and disjointed and having 1.5 conversations at once. And I'm sitting here reading it and just generally snarking about their typing speeds (I had to leave the room because dad, while better than hunt-and-peck, is not much so, and I just wanted to sit down and take over) but also marvelling at how, well, inexperienced they are net-wise. Especially with both of them being computing-related professionals.

Anyway. It meant I finally got round to watching 'Dark City' which nostalgia_lj lent me, and it was good. I mean, the Dr was absolutely stereotypical, the darkness meant sometimes I couldn't make out what the hell was going on, the effects were a little dated, and the parallels to the Matrix are incredible, though of course this was made first which makes me eye the Wachowski brothers a little suspiciously... and the ending, well, supposed to be heartwarming I suppose, and wasn't as bad at it as a lot that I've seen in that I wasn't physically sickened. I'm kinda tempted to fic it, but not really, because there's the god thing and there's the future life thing and neither of them really appeal. So.

Oh, another thing to blame her for. 'Jolene' is absolutely stuck in my head, after I went over to hers yesterday and she was showing me the vid-making process. But. Yes.

Why can't I write anything? *sobs* Anyway. Going now. Honest.
