Great Art and High Culture?
Sep. 29th, 2002 10:46 amListening to R3 last night (and I didn't post this at the time, because I was sulking as Netscape and the LiveJournal both crashed and lost unsent emails and unposted journal entries), I caught The Verb (Ian MacMillan finally having become convincing as a radio presenter; the jury's still out on his poetry) and a celebration of the relaunch of the Fighting Fantasy game books with both Jackson and Livingstone present and some audience participation. What is the bastion of culture that R3 used to be coming too? (Actually it was great fun. As was the concert that followed it.)
Don't actually possess any of the FF books, though I have a couple of Ian Jackson penned tomes that Penguin published about the same time. They were quite fun, but I always found that, hypertexts as they are, the book format lacked something. And there was no history feature, and I could never remember what I'd tried previously.
I give in! LL has all her "musical" instruments out, and whilst I can type single-handed and make cow noises with the other, I can't play along to scrambled sections of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik on the penny whistle whilst thinking about hypertexts!
