five thousand shades of blue

Well, I can
see my own webpage from here again, this is good.
I'm going to wait a little while before posting the answers to
my "Nine Things..." list. I have only received four guesses so far: both
J and
M said they were stumped but had narrowed it down to 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9; Thierry from France guessed 4; and Kate guessed 5. Heh, heh, heh. This is FUN.
Spent a good portion of my weekend playing
Myst III: Exile. If you liked Myst or Riven, you will like this one. You
WILL. So far the only problems I'm having are a bit of jumpy sound and I'm not sure I like the cursor being fixed in the center and translucent (I want it to change when there's a valid direction to take, and not have to click and guess, relying only on the polite sneezing sound that happens if you can't go that way, especially if there's, say, a waterfall in your close proximity). What's really cool is the graphics, the way the water moves, the panoramic scenes... Brad Dourif is the bad guy, and all I can think of is the guy he played on the X-Files, the death row inmate Boggs who could 'communicate' with Scully's dead father. He's sooo creepy. I'm so enjoying it though. It's a nice vacation after the month of doom (that would be May).
is
this just not enough…?
