setra...and fixable, sorta.

*wipes brow* Whew! Ok... that acctually covered most of it... So... where was I? Nowhere? Good.
I think I'll do a bit of a commentary on Hellspark now, which is the best Sci-Fi book I think I've read to date, with the exception of "Stranger in a Strange Land", which doesn't count because it's Heinlein... and it just it... and also with the exception of the Mars books (Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars, and The Martians)... because they're different too. Hellspark is at it's most basic, a mystery. Someone is dead, figure out why. But ontop of that (or rather around it) are several layers of highly complex world. First, the planet of Flashfever (Lassti) where almost all plants and wildlife use natural electricity to live. Second (through about thirtieth) the races on the survey team of Lassti. A major focus of the book is on how actions and cultural ideas can be just as important as anything else in a language. Add to that an exceptionally intelegent computer/spaceship named Maggy that acts like a genius 7-year-old, and Tochol - a language (and culture) expert with gold eyes and red hair (who is so like a perfected form of Setra that I'm almost scared) and you begin to see (maybe) why I love this book. It focusses on the prexemics and kinesics of language and cultural taboos that it seems like a lot of sci-fi overlooks or glosses over with a quick explanation. Not to mention that it explores deeply the definitions of "human" and "sentient" as well as "language".
Anyway, I love the book and it's really very sad that Ms. Kagan hasn't written anything else. *cries*
*long pause*
So... new topic...
Bishonen?
I like winamp skins. I recently cleard out most the bad ones from my collection and I'm very happy about it. I still, for some reason, never see my Clavis skin or any of my SIX Muraki skins... *sigh*
Speaking of which, the first disc of Yami no Matsuei comes out in mid January... I'm deciding whether to order it or not... I know I will, but I'm pretending willpower for a little while (we all know that Muraki could crush /my/ willpower with so little as a glance)
Anyway, this is quickly going to degrade if I don't stop it and go to bed, so I will.
That took and hour to write... o_O (started at 12:20)
Bishonen: Youji (blame the skin... it would've been Seta-sama a minute ago...) and Olivie, Shuugosei of Dreams. ^_^
Bishojo: Tochol (yes, I'm sure she's a bishojo - look at the cover!)
Good things: Warm beds, friends, chocolate covered cherries, bishonen, music
