I am feeling particularly productive. In advance of Conpulsion I’m trying to pull together some material for OGL Horror, a roleplaying book published by Britain’s Mongoose Publishing and written by my vague acquaintance Gar Hanrahan. It was a cool book and I’m enjoying playing with the ideas within. If all goes well I’ll get them published in some form, and if all goes really well I might get paid for them. But we shan’t count chickens, etc etc.

\nIf you haven’t read Cal’s story<\/a> yet, go do it. I think it’s cool, but I am entirely biased.
\nAnd while I think of it: Cal is a wonderful girlfriend.

\nWatched League of Extraordinary Gentlemen over the weekend. Cal was sick so we got out two DVDs, and i had a card that got me a free vid with any chart rental. Of course, we didn’t want any chart rentals, but I picked up LXG anyway because some people do seem to like it. I can’t see why. It’s dire. It takes a special kind of foolishness to take such a good idea and mung it up, but they manage. Only bright spot: Stuart Townsend as Dorian Gray, who stole every scene he was in and most of the ones he wasn’t in.
\nThe other video was the charming All the Real Girls, a great indie romance-drama-thing. Just see it like we did, with no preconceptions – you won’t regret it.

\nWhich reminds me, we stumbled on a strange lesbian-lovers-in-boarding-school flick late night that had Mischa Barton in the narrator role, and that made me watch some of the first episode of new US wannabe-guilty-pleasure The OC because she’s the lovely girl with the bad boyfriend in that. It was *so strange* seeing the face of little kid Devon from the astonishing movie Lawn Dogs being used to deliver wry 90210-style dialogue, let alone to make deeply felt comments about the mystery of lesbian love. Purpose of this paragraph: find and see Lawn Dogs, it’s great. *Especially* the ending, despite what the critics say.
\n—-
\nAnd I discovered today that my NZ-rock-gods-to-be Two Lane Blacktop have split up. Sucksville. Their site is gone too. Bigger sucksville.
\nAt least Idle Faction are still together.
\nEdited to fix the name of the DVD. D’oh!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
