Truth is stranger than fiction.

On a slightly related note, I'm rereading the Narnia books and they're awfully propagandist. Now, I recognise that propaganda has its place, but:

"Are -- are you there too, Sir?" said Edmund.

"I am," said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason that you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me for a little here, you may know me better there."


Also, very interesting to contrast Hero (which I saw on the weekend) with the spate of American ingenuity movies coming out. Like I said, I think it has its place, and that place is under the miscroscope of the person watching it.

Well, as I understand, Lewis was -after- Tolkien converted him.

I've always admired intensity. I'm also afraid of it. It's sort of like the sun, you know? You need the strength to be there and get work done, but it isn't good going scattershot in all directions without being thought about.

I miss intensity sometimes, though I must admit, the perspective I've gained in the past few years is *wonderful*.

That icon reminds me of your embroidery-on-the-bus story now. :)
