Heading out for the night right after work to play some pool with the guys from work. Should be a good night 🙂

Plantary
“All over the World & other Stories” (TPB 1) was my first introduction to Warren Ellis’s “Plantary”. To be honest it didn’t really do anything for me. In fact I recall not liking it much and not enjoying reading it. I did like the characters, The Drummer was cool and Snow had potential. Because it was Ellis I stuck with it and I got “The Fourth Man” (TPB 2). This took a bit of getting into but the ending made it all worth while. It had some really great moments (a standout being Chase stopping time). Issue 12 was the culmination of what started off as a loose plotline and tightened up a lot as those issues went along and it ended on a really high note. I reread both books last night and enjoyed them far more than the first time around. So much so I’m gonna see if the next few are in back issues.

So I went along to the game club meet earlier and it was good. I watched a couple of games and built a deck. Next week I’m gonna go play. There is a league starting off in a couple of weeks and I would like to take part in that. People seemed fun and had no problems with new people and new questions. Afterall it is a very new game and there are lots of questions. Looking forward to playing 🙂
I am sure I am not the only fan who has been waiting for this announcement. Dean Stockwell will be appearing in Enterprise in an episode called “Detained” to be aired later this year 🙂
and the Oscar Nominations are in. LOTR seems to lead with 12 with Ian McKellen up for best supporting actor and nice nod to Will Smith for best actor in “Ali”.
I’m really into this song at the moment.
- I’m that star up in the sky
I’m that mountain peak up high
I made it
I’m the worlds greatest
And I’m that little bit of hope
When my backs against the ropes
I can feel it
I’m the worlds greatest
