Forward to the Past

For those of you who remember the little review of a book called 1632 a bit back...

Picked up 1633 yesterday. Read it pretty much in a day and a half. It's bigger than the first book. This is good, in ways. The world is much more fleshed out, now, along the lines of Island in the Sea of Time. And there are plans for an obscene number of new books. This can be nothing but good. OTOH, the story sort of dragged. I suspect it's a setup book for 1634, but...

Oh well. Good times.

Also, before the Blakist whacking rituals, we saw Terminator 3. This was good. T3 is good times. But not as good times as T2 was. T2 is...damn. Quite a movie. Whereas both T1 and T3 were sort of...good. But not great. The T-X sucked, IMHO. Hot, of course, but the T-1000 was far more badass. John Conner going somewhat around the bend was kind of neat, though. And it amazes me that they found three actors who look very similar to each other, for each incarnation of John, plus dad.

And I go back to school on Tuesday. This is...good, I think.

I was disappointed by T3, but I think I mentioned that already somewhere. The graphics were awesome, but come on... I hope it's not Arny's last movie. He deserves better than that.
