As I take a moment away from making up a writing plan, I'll tell you guys about a couple of good reads I've come across in the last couple of days.

The Matrix Reloaded Explained: An interesting read, explaining how there's actually quite a bit of philosophy in the Matrix Reloaded if you take a moment to look. I can't say I agree with everything in there; nevertheless, much of it is very convincing.

"...she's a flight risk". The online journal of a twentysomething international fugitive, running from her extremely rich family. The story given in the "about the author" section is that she had planned a disappearance for quite some time, but made the decision shortly after an arranged marriage was set up, and the words "she's a flight risk" were uttered.

If the writings contained within are true, it's an intriguing tale of how someone changed her identity, laundered money internationally, and repeatedly dodged capture by her pursuers.

If it's a work of fiction... then it's a damned good work of fiction. I personally lean towards this interpretation. The 'author' has done a great job of leading us on, and ending posts in such a way that issues and events are left unresolved - which is, of course, the best way to retain your readership.

In other news, Kirsten - blog pirate extraordinaire - has herself fled away from home. She's visiting her family in Abbotsford, and is due back on Wednesday.
