Now I don't want to sound pretentious when I say this, but no matter how much this camera blows, you can't deny this view. [ booms the voice of some guy who still manages to find a great angle to showcase a particularly beautiful shot of the gardens that most residents are probably already familiar with. yes, residents. he's done his research. he's tech-savvy enough for that and smart enough not to run screaming, blabbing to the first person in his vicinity. he recovers what's left of his sanity and he waits; he learns. then he appears on his own terms. ]

It damn near takes your breath away. [ so does arriving face first in the pool. ] There are only a few things in life that have that kind of power. That kind of sway over you. [ hm? he shakes his head clear of it and steers the view away from the fountain ( far, far away ), cutting the feed and switching to text without ever revealing his face. ]

so, i wanted to pose a question to you, Land of Wonder. what would you describe as a sight for sore eyes, and why? is it something that can be physically found or does it exist strictly in the imagination?

and don't worry, i know all about how curiosity killed the cat. i'm more of a dog guy. on that note, if anyone's seen either one of mine, i'd really appreciate whatever information you have. one of them is like a wrecking ball. he's big, hairy, and he leaves a huge mess. he answers to Derek, and no, you never get used to the drool. the other one's kind of small, but he never stops trying to learn the same darn trick. Scott's just so predictable. you almost have to like him and feel sorry for him at the same time.

I believe that something you desperately want to see is a sight for sore eyes, if it exists in reality and is not a hallucination.

However, I would wish to argue that such things can not exist in full reality. You may remember your home a certain way, for example, but it will not have remained stagnant just because you are away from it. The home which exists in your mind and the home which exists when you see it again are different places.

that's a pretty wise thing to say. have you been thinking about home a lot or do you have some experience with returning to things not as you left them?

I was often away from my home when I was still in my world. I would remember my brother fondly and I would see him again and he would be a hand taller. It is self-importance to believe things remain the same only because we wish it to be so.

you're right, people change. [ and not always for the better. then again, there are people that remain the same forever. ] it makes sense that places would do the same given time.
