“The space stuff was dreadful. I’m not even sure if I can really express how shitty this stuff was. I mean – it was so bad I was longing for MOONRAKER or SPACE CAMP. There seemed to be a haze over it all. It screamed rushed and under-financed… except – it couldn’t really be under-financed, cuz you know they spent more money on the space effects in this film than 2001 cost in its entirety. It was just badly done.”

…the next time you say something like that, remember that there’s a team of a dozen or more people who worked 80 hour weeks in order to meet the movie’s deadline, just so you can tear it down and tell them how worthless they are.

I get home late tonight, and start getting set up to work on Ghost Town, when my computer stubbornly refuses to start.

Unafraid of data loss (seeing as how my files are stored on a 1 terabyte raid array, and backed up to two different computers), I go to my closet and dig out a spare power supply (one of three). Plugging it in and seeing that it works fine, I curse my old power supply for randomly failing, make a note to head out to Fry’s tomorrow, and continue on my merry way.

Then it occurs to me — if I were someone else, I would probably be on the line with Dell’s tech support about now, possibly in tears.

Sometimes it is good to be me.

And in other news tonight, Voltron got totally served.
