He Is Everywhere...Lest I Forget

So you spend a couple hours one morning playing your average 1990's computer game that you just got from your brother-in-law for Christmas... Loom.

Awesome game, by the way. I like them when I can win in one day...

I'm just sitting here freezing in the apartment that we're keeping cold on purpose, clicking the mouse to try and find out what is going to happen next. Thinking and cheating with online walk-throughs. So I read ahead a little bit...and found out about the Unmaking spell you learn at the very end. Oooh...i thought...that sounds like Alvin Maker series stuff right there...I wonder if Card has ever heard of this. Right so that's my mindset going into the end sequence.

So then I'm a swan flying off into the sky and then the credits pop up...I never watch credits because I'm hardly ever interested in the actor...I'm more interested in the character that they played...but Bobbin had an interesting voice actor, so I watched the credits to see who voiced him (a one-hit wonder, I guess). And ka-pow there he is (I mean Card of course) right there on the screen. Script something or other...it was really cool...because I was thinking of him before and then there he was...like a dream come true...or something like that.

Sorry about the lack of postage...Der feindliche Tor ist unten!!!
