On the subject of Syberia I think he said. I am also eagerly awaiting that.

Yep, a freeform exploration into Syberia's recurring themes and symbolisms of death. I'm working on it bit by bit, and will post it hopefully within the week.

LOL .......um, hopefully this week, or rather this weekend. I also need some time to do more script writing for the Curves of Danger game we're doing.

Well however long it takes - I will be waiting to read your thoughts on these themes. Very interesting topic to explore. I always thought of it as having many recurrent themes of death and rebirth of sorts. Perhaps a status of internal stasis.

Oh no, sorry to read about your aching foot and what sounds like the flue. Hope you are feeling better now.

Thanks, rags. I'm feeling better today, but still out slightly out of it, and my leg still hurts, I'm having trouble walking normally now. Something is absolutely up with my karma or planetary alignment, etc., but I'm working on the essay bit by bit.

It's finished. I'm exhausted, wrote nonstop for several hours, then decided to make it into a stupid illuminated webpage which took another several hours. I'll announce in the morning (shit, it's already 4 in the morning here!). I'll post link a bit later. Good nite.
