sweet nostalgia...
that's the reason for my latest flight of absence from these pages...
i remember how some games used to entertain me to no end as a child... how i would stay up far later than what my parent's liked to endlessly immerse myself in those realities...
well they're all back... while surfing around one day i found www.the-underdogs.org and there i found those games that i used to play as a child...
(there are some that think i am sophisticated beyond the act of enjoying computer games.
well.
some people are mistaken.)
and thus i have negelcted to write... my adventures in a faraway galaxy have proved to have a great hold on my attention...
and still there's more to reminisce...
i remember how i used to read endlessly... and now it seems i'm at it again... i sped through Stephen King's Misery... and now i'm lost somewhere in Kafka's Metamorphosis... and to top it all off...
i just found out that good 'ol national library actually holds the entire Sandman series...
well in other words it may come to pass that i don't write at all for some time to come...

About Stephen King, i wonder whether you've read his anthology of short stories, "Everything's Eventual"? yeah, he definitely has an uncanny knack of scaring people shitless, but it seems that his true forte is really being able to transcend genre so effortlessly. There's this one story in said book, "The Death of Jack Hamilton". it's about these Depression-era outlaws, and it's not really a horror, or crime story, but more of a...human drama kind of story. Eventually, he'll have you rooting for these band of criminals, and it's got quite a melancholic feel to it, i'll go so far as to say it's quite a decent tear-jerker. i guess it's just stories like these that truly makes you appreciate the scope of his talent. And one more thing, there are sophisticated video games out there...just gotta know how to discern.
