I can’t use Damion’s excuse about working on a game, and actually quite a lot has happened to me in the past three weeks. But my ankle is pretty much healed now and my apartment hasn’t burned down, despite what you might have heard otherwise.

Yeah, that’s all. Anyone think I should pay to go to AGDC this year? Early-bird signups end next week. I guess I could go as press again, but that might mean I feel obligations to actually write about it. Maybe just the expo pass this time.

Will be out of pocket for anyone Internet related who needs me for at least through the weekend, except by non-Internet means.

Oh yeah, a lot happened in the past six weeks. Tell you about it later.

Easily the best science fiction story anyone will see at the movies this summer, probably all year.

Robots in love, a ship full of neotenic humans who have to discover the difference between surviving and living, and a legitimate answer to the question, “What do we need a planet for?”

Plus there’s a new Peter Gabriel song, which is kind of a bonus. You’ll want to stay through the credits.

Seriously, go.
