The Lost Room

Wow!  This is such a cool  miniseries.
Actually, it's a bit daft in places, but it's fun and a decent fantasy. 

Somehow it feels like a simple point and click adventure.  Heavy emphasis in specific objects. thta can only be used in a single fairly specific way, or combined and used in other very specific ways.  But all a lot of fun.

Worldcon

Nippon 2007; 30th August -3rd of September. 

Pondering if I can manage to go. 

On one hand, Japan is a nice place to visit.  I could extend the stay to a week or so, and visit other parts of Japan (Kyoto's really quite nice, and whizzing up and down on a Bullet train is a good way to travel).  And every Worldcon I've been to (all one of them) have been a lot of fun. 

On the other hand, it's expensive.  The flight alone will cost £850, and I dislike flying.  Airports are annoying and paranoid about security.  There's a lot of waiting around.  Flights are distinctly unpleasant - apparantly, once upoon a time they saw passengers as something other than an invconvenience - I can't sleep on planes, and I really have issues with Jetlag.

Should I stay or should I go. 

Just thinking out loud.

Who else is going?

Personal space invaders

Gah!  I really wish people wouldn't cluster round the desk next to me. 

Feeling very closed in here.
