AICN is advertising the thing tonight. Does that mean the people who post on their message boards will be there?

Oh Sweet Jeebus God, no. If so bring a few cans of Red Bull and some peanut butter cups to throw as a distraction if they start towards you.

I think they're afraid of girls. I've no worries.

But that's just because they've had no prior exposure. What if one got fiesty?

I assume this means asking me for the time and then wetting his pants.

So I read Moon is a Harsh Mistress this past week as well.

Everything that Allyson, Nutty, and Rick said: WROD. Wrod to the max. Oy.

I think if you strip out all the didactic discussions about revolutionary theory, and the appalling gender relations, and the 2D bimbettes and maternal ideals who make up the female characters, and the political theory, you might possibly have a framework on which to hang a story.

But my god! There was almost no action in the novel. It was all secondhand action, all tell, no show. "Then we had girls start teasing the guards, and the guards got grumpy so the Warden sent out more guards--" ad nauseum. Nobody developed, nobody changed, nobody had second thoughts: all the leads were perfect and right, and if hundreds of thousands of people died for their mistakes, well none of that was their fault after all. Everything was so black and white, with this little cabal (oh that word) making all the decisions for the sheep who can't think for themselves. Bleah.

t shudders and goes off too read Robert Graves to cleanse my palate

Oddly enough, I remember rather liking Moon as a teen. Clearly my tastes have changed.

When I was a teen I liked Message to Garcia. Ugh.

BWAH! So don't wear great shoes. Just in case.

I know this is a place in which we can freely confess our sins, but I really admire your bravery for admitting that one.

All this discussion is making me anxious for WF DVDs. Any idea of a date yet?

At least there is visible progress on the BDM. This makes up for much. ::happy sigh:: I think I actually may have figured out how to follow threads on the OB, although I've totally given up on FFF, and count on the kindness of others to post links or xpost.

Um, yeah. When I was very young (like, second grade) it really made me mad when kids didn't follow the rules of the playground. So had this attitude that if only everyone followed the rules and otherwise did what they were supposed to, the world would be a better place.

Years later, of course, I started to question who makes the rules and who decides what people were "supposed to do."
