Matrix 20th anniversary, and other things.

AMC Theaters will be running The Matrix again in several locations the last week of August. (Check your local listings - there may be a showing near you!)

I was ambivalent about the film trilogy for a while...I've tried to watch it several times in the past few years and haven't been able to make it through. I am hoping that going with my awesome support network of friends will suffice to exorcise the demons from my past that I still associate with it.

I was still iffy enough about it as recently as the move back in March to donate the coffee table concept art book for the original film to a used bookstore, and to almost throw out the software for the Matrix Online MMO I never got to play. Which I am actually still kind of salty about. There have been two fan-based attempts to resurrect it, both of which require the actual software to run. There are no quests or missions, they're basically just open servers for people to create characters and run around in. But the hardcore fans' attempts to keep it going long after the actual MMO was shut down is pretty amazing. There's actually a full writeup of all the game's plotlines and quests here: http://jao.voxtheory.net/2016/05/18/now-available-the-matrix-online-archives/

Work is work. Things continue to be pretty cool in the area where I was moved.

In other news, I changed my journal theme again....the last one was A E S T H E T I C, but didn't work too well on my phone.

I like this one. It's calming and easy to read. Not that I don't just read everyone's on my feed but still.

Huh. I can't seem to get the MMO link to load for some reason. I'll have to try again later.

Ooh, very teal!
