Chapter 6's pic. Click to make bigger. My Side7 gallery is working again, so I've been posting there at last. But I wanted to post these pics in order, so until 5's pic is done, I probably won't post beyond chapter 4 there.

Fics are coming along. My mystery dream is producing a T&D fic that is churning out very quickly. X3 It feels so good to write an all-out mystery again. I've been reading Nancy Drew for further inspiration.

I have had enough of the evil MacAfee update downloader. It ruined everything tonight so I couldn't talk to Lisa when she was only able to be on for a few minutes. I think that's the worst trouble I've ever had with it (even topping when it was downloading for an hour when I wanted to go to bed). So I finally found how to adjust the settings and put it back to Notify Me Before Downloading. I think that's what it was on before it switched itself to Automatic. It had better work. And I'd better remember to download the stuff when I'm not talking to anyone. XD; The reason why I'd left it on Automatic when it switched itself was because I'd kept forgetting to download since no time was convenient for me. But this automatic downloading as soon as the computer boots up is just the worst time possible. If I could stop it once it starts, it wouldn't be so bad. But I've tried and I can't. XD; Once it starts, I'm just forced to wait it out.

I finally saw The Dark Knight. X3 I'd gone into it expecting to not like it and to find it ungodly depressing. Instead, I loved it. It's definitely a lot more than just a superhero story. The Joker was insanely creepy. Some scenes with him I could have done without, yet they were important because they really showed how horrible he is. Heath Ledger's performance was amazing. I think the hype about it was well-deserved. And of course, all the other cast members were spectacular too. X3 It was very dark, as everyone says, and some parts were disturbing. (I admittedly did not look the very first time Two-Face was shown, under the bright lights. It was easier to watch him in the other scenes.) But I really liked a lot of the ideas brought out, like self-sacrifice and what constitutes the greater good, and I want to see what happens next. It would be awful to just leave it and not continue the story!

I wonder if part of the problem I had with Spiderman was that I'd gone into it expecting much different than I got in a different kind of way. I was told it was one way, and it was another, and I was really depressed by it. I already knew The Dark Knight would be dark, and possibly depressing, before I saw it. I was led to believe Spiderman was not that way. Hmm. In any case, I still do plan to watch Spiderman again and see if I feel the same about it.
