Russian Media...errm...Rush, and Media
Spent most of the weekend doing ET Rush. New rush is certainly different from old rush. For one thing, the actives don't seem to be as willing to exploit their pool of alumni slave labor; for another, there are noticeable numbers of upperclassmen visiting, which we never had under the old system. The little Go boards are cute. The rush chairs are amused by my Road Rallye posters.
(Oh yeah, played a game of Civilization on Saturday. Played Africa. Expanded very early into Italy to nail down 8 city sites. Would have won if the rest of the game hadn't decided I was the Great Satan and tried to crush me, twice. So it wound up being a very close game (with me in third, but with under 200 points between second and fifth) except that one person quietly sat in the corner and amassed wealth to win by a lot, and one person got hosed by calamities mid-game.)
Read The One-Armed Queen by Jane Yolen. It lacked a lot of the mysticism that made White Jenna and Sister Light, Sister Dark fun. The plot was kind of fractious, the characters not that interesting. The main character's main mood seemed to be "rebellious and moody", and the Jenna character just didn't feel at all like the same Jenna from the earlier books. Oh well.
Also saw Hero last night. It was fun. A very visual movie; good use of colors. (I liked the yellow scene, Emily, the blue.) They were a little more liberal with the Matrix-vision than I might have liked in general (but hey, it's a Jet Li film). Also, I've now seen something besides Rocky Horror in the Harvard Square theater.

The reality is much less interesting.
