Why Is Liar Liar Going To Be Shown On Scifi Channel?

I went to frisbee again today. I got hit by the disc four times, in the head, shoulder, leg, and car. Saw a guy that I hadn't seen for years among the alumni present. I'm just wondering how long this activity will go on before others take priority.

These activites aren't just college related, but also things that I want to work on, hobbywise. Among these are stories. I have multiple ideas for stories that I want to write, among them are scifi and fantasy. My despair comes whenever I stop by a Borders or Barnes & Noble and stroll through the scifi/fantasy section. The sheer volume of works currently in the market can be intimidating to behold. I don't know how many of them are actually good (I know what Sturgeon would say).

I saw that a new Dune book is coming out. In that series, I've only read Dune, the first part of The Butlerian Jihad, and the first part of House Atreides. I stopped on those latter two simply because I got sidetracked. I wouldn't mind taking them back up again, though. I'm great at starting books, but terrible at finishing them. Coincidentally, I'm watching David Lynch's Dune on TV right now; dang that little girl is creepy (I don't think she was that much better in the Hallmark Miniseries, either)! The feeling always fades, but when I watch her, I shudder out loud.

As this post ends, I keep thinking of how unfulfilling these braindumps are to me, as a writer. Oh, well.

- Appreciation: Mur Lafferty has a new podcast for people like me.
- Resentment: I learned that we payed $800 dollars for a television that can't degauss.

Science: Run by Mike Everhart, Oceans Of Kansas is an interesting website and resource of information on the fossils of Kansas and that general region. The stars here tend to be plesiosaurs, mosasaurs, and pterosaurs.
Art: The Halls Of Creation is the page of the Brothers Koiter. Sadly, the one who penned the art passed away last year, but his artwork is still up here for us to admire. I recommend Goblin Zeppelin, Apocalyptic Vision, and King Of Clubs. This project also sounds fun.
Otherwise: Want to see what's going on at that infamous Northwestern volcano?

Visit what? The link takes me to a site selling an analgesic tablet. Thank you, though.
