Part II

So lately I've been wondering why I like sci-fi.
I mean, the acting is horrible, the plot is despicable (to plagarize Yustin: a vast void with wisps of plot floating across it - not a direct quote, but you get the point), the cinematography is so bad that the blind man on the corner can do better. Plus, (and probably most damning) it spouts more cliches than any other genre of movie/tv. [note: in this paragraph, and in my life, I really only like sci-fi shows and movies. NOT books.]{of course, no genre can hope to compete with the chick flick for spouting cliche's, in fact its an insult to every genre of movie/tv to be compared to the chick flick}. Also, sci-fi has always been the domain of the nerd and the geek (labels I've been trying to escape since the beginning of time). But I really like sci-fi. oh, well

p.s. I had a piano student this week who devised a code for the phrase "Hi, how are you." The code was had probably 5 times the amount of letters that it would take to spell out "Hi, how are you" BUT!!!!!!!! YOU COULD PLAY THE WHOLE THING AS A SONG ON THE PIANO!!!!!!!! (she was pretty excited about that) [admittedly it did sound a little pointilistic, but who's complaining?] Another exciting day in the life of Josh
