On This Day...
11 Sep 2010 17:05Nine years ago, I came home from dealing with The Fnajing System, sat on my bed to unwind, switched on my TV, and there it was - the World Trade Center burning. I've seen some momentous events in my time, but this one felt strangely personal; I love New York, and only three years earlier (May 1998), I'd been in the city, and when I was on the ferry to Liberty Island on Memorial Day, I looked back at Manhattan, saw the Twin Towers, and said to myself "Next time..."
I never got that "next time", but that's nothing compared to what some had to suffer, and still suffer to this day. The world has changed - that was always going to happen after something like this - but you'd think that, nine years on, people would be looking past prejudices and vengeance...
Some hope. This is humanity we're talking about, remember. Next year is bound to be worse - I can feel it, but I'd love to be proved wrong.
Development News... I'd hoped that I would have the interlude for the upcoming Darkhawk story done by now, but there's still a little way to go, and ideas keep cropping up, such as potted "profiles" to include when each AGK team-member first appears. The big issue remains how the hell to fit this piece into the main story-flow - I'm not sure I can set an out-of-sequence date at Diaryland, like I did here for my Mission 101 List...
Meanwhile... I'm trying to think out how to watch the game on Sunday night and manage to get in something approaching a day's work without falling asleep. Lucky I have flexible hours.
