Hmmm… seems like a very long time I posted an entry, but really it’s less than a week. I feel like my time management skills are sliding, and my attention span infinitely fragmented. I cannot read a book right now… I find the non-interactivity of them almost painful! The internet has changed things so much…I’m even starting to believe in the notion of computer games as a medium for storytelling. The most powerful fiction I have experienced in recent years was in the playing of Half-Life 2, a first person "shooter" with a strong narrative. Even though I haven’t played it (or even had access to it) in about a year, I can almost remember being there, and no novel or movie has ever come this close to creating such a memory out of fiction. It left such a strong imprint that I still find myself looking at real life quiet coastal scenes and being reminded of the road between City 17 and Nova Prospekt.
