Inception

… was pretty goshdarnedgud! I mean, I don’t think I would go see it four times in the theater… probably not even a second time. But it was a pretty good ride overall.

I’m not sure what’s with the people who call it confusing, because most of it seemed pretty straightforward to me, up until the very end which is (of course) deliberately ambiguous. And then, you have to overlook the fact that there are a ton of things left unexplained: how, exactly, the machines let people share dreams… who gets to control what and why, etc etc. I’m still not really sure what Ariadne’s role (as the “architect”) was… she just designed the dreams at the beginning and wasn’t really necessary afterwards at all, it seemed?

And I’d have to agree that it seemed like a missed opportunity in some ways… could have pushed the dream angle way more and made things actually surreal more often. I read the wiki and one of the things mentioned was how the more unreal a dream was, the more likely it was that the dreamer would figure things out… which I think is a blatant falsehood. My dreams frequently get super unrealistic and I never think anything is weird. Then again, I’ve never personally successfully achieved lucidity in a dream, and whenever I get close, I just wake up, so meh.

As long as you willingly and politely suspend your belief in a few key things, the movie’s great. XP

In other news, omg hiking. x____x

The Facebook Game That Makes Fun of Facebook Games

Ironically I saw a mention of this game first when I saw Quad post one of its things to his wall. Then I read this article and realized it was Ian Bogost’s game, which in retrospect makes everything make a whole lot more sense.

Second guessing

It sucks to get a letter that is essentially full of praise, and yet all you can do is double or triple check every line and wonder if you’ve broken some kind of rule.

Names

My name(s) is/are so inconvenient, at least as far as snagging URLs is concerned. I mean, I like my short name and all (first initial, last name) … it’s not too common. But when it’s four letters long, it often means it’s too short for websites to accept. (Facebook won’t, LinkedIn won’t… this other site I just found and was trying to register for won’t either).

And I have no middle name, so that doesn’t help. D:

Need to come up with something that’s not my full name, but enough like my real name that I can still use it professionally… cursed aliases..
