I ventured away from the path this week. This is the promise that I write everyday, either in my blog or working on something. Instead I slept, and watched parts of my movie list, and updated netflix. I came very close to cleaning the refrigerator, when I decided to sit down and write this stream of consciousness.
As I was wandering the earth like Cane from Kungfu, I stumbled across a most excellent examination of sci fi. This was by Vanda at Toadberry. S/he makes connections between scifi and westerns, film noir and comparisons among scifi films that are helpful when thinking of a scifi film. It's made me realize that I hadn't decided if this was a film set in a bright shiny future or a dark and deceptive future - or both, with clear use of this distinction. It's a well written bit of thought on the matter.
Now I return to writing and it perpetuates itself. Truly, it makes me want to write more once I start. This is like so many other things that are, ultimately, good for me. Just keep writing...
