That might ALMOST get me to go through Donaldson's prose again.

I remember slogging through the first books and thinking, "God, I hate these characters, I hate this world." I remember thinking, "White gold is an alloy of gold and silver; why don't they have any available?" I remember thinking "Wow, circular definitions in the glossary" (how sad is it that I read the glossary as well). I remember thinking that the books could have been cut in half just by cutting out the words, "LEPER OUTCAST UNCLEAN!"

I remember thinking that I never wanted to read another book by Stephen R. Donaldson again in my life. So far, I've been doing that.

Oh.
My.

This is just TOO priceless.

Nothing really to add, just sympathy going out to all involved.

The UK filkers have all reported in, which is good.

Actually, the more I see of it, the more I like Megas XLR on Cartoon Network.

The Panix thing seems to be a major screwup for a great many people.

Oh, and ggn.net's Usenet server went down a couple three days ago, it's only just come back up.

Online life has been quite...interesting...today.

Barbara, I don't think you're alone in that. It's been far too long since I've seen Forbidden Planet and even longer since I read The Tempest but I also figured Robbie as Ariel, the captive spirit, and the Monster from the Id as Caliban.

I'm amazed (and rather thankful) that they haven't remade that film.
