Guv'munt came and took my baaaby

Let me see if I've got this right: on The Simpsons, Lisa pretended to be an Indian and Bart married a pregnant chick, and then on Family Guy, Peter did crack while Stewie begged Lois to step on his cubes. Oh and the pregnant chick was played by Natalie Portman and yes, the fact that the animated character's hair was blonde made it fundamentally impossible for me to guess whose voice it was. ("Britney Murphy...? ...Drew Barrymore?")

Well anyways. Here's the rundown:

  • Debt: under a grand.
  • Terra: under a grand.
  • Steven Spielberg: under a grand.

I am determined to run this laptop clean off the road. The indicator is telling me I have 7 minutes of power left. I will watch this pansy bitch go dark, my friends. I will be here when it happens. Incidentally this pisses me off - not the Linux joke but the ad campaign generally. It took me a few passes to figure out whether the ads were supposed to be pro-Mac or anti-Mac because the Mac guy is so clearly an example of what you get when you hire a marketing company to come up with the exact white male who represents Macdom, i.e., a shithead.

Here's Miniature Fuckin' Hermione by the way, for those keeping score.

Well whatever. Today was a good day. I updated the Tederick Films section of the site for the first time in forever, and my bio, too, which seemed to predate my I'm-over-Bearshark period in some ways. I finished sending Standoff to both On the Lot and the Worldwide Short Film Festival. My project at work sailed through its brand review, Chad and I got the second issue laid out, and my work for '07 is crystallizing both at actual work and at home (work). So... yes. Aside from the fact that I am hungry and tired and have had little besides cheese to eat today, things are on the up and up.
