I demand epics! Long stories that will fill me with distraction. Something that would allow me to not think. Something that will fill my heart with the warmth of its characters and its interactions. Damn it, where have they all gone to. I need more stories. MORE STORIES!
Sigh. Time travel is out. I've read all of S.M. Stirlings' works as well as Eric Flint's Ashandi Shards series. Fantasy is pretty much out. I haven't seen one that I want to read lately. And most of the major series I've already read or not interested. Ditto for sci-fi. Romantic novels are okay, but most of them are so predictable that its boring and can't distract me much. Historical novels are okay, but only if they're written well, instead of written like a history. I don't know. I just need something to not think about.
I want to immersed in a reality of something else for a while. That would be fun. Or I can create my own I suppose. But it's hard. I guess I start tomorrow. After watching the trailers for FF12 and the documentary about all the FFs, I realize why they seem so appealing. It's because they are immersive. They have the epic storytelling that I like. But too much time. I'd rather read about it.
I just need something. I need ideas. I need to see it. I can write it down, I just need to see it and remember. Hopefully, dreams can fuel that need.
Till I see you in my dreams, my Valkyrie.

Next time: Freedom, relationships and the economies of marriage! Why people's divorce rates are higher as a result of technology! And why I'm screwed with or without grad school. Stay tuned!

If you're looking for immersive games, there's many. Come ask me if you want recommendations.
Books wise, don't read any fantasy/scifi by authors who have over 3 books in a series, because those are shitty, shitty books based on making money, not good/well written stories. There are a [very] few decent series, but most are poo.
