I need the sleep.

So Sat. night, P. calls me and is like, "So sorry to bother, but would you be available to do some blah blah blah tomorrow?" And even though it's my July 4 holiday, because it's P., I'm happy to help. So I say sure, thinking this will take, at most, an hour. (P.'s British, so what does he care about July 4? I'm sure he's still trying not to think of us all as bloody colonials, a la Giles.) But no, it takes HOURS AND HOURS. Suddenly I was half running the thing, and I was like, "Wait! I didn't sign up for this!" Argh. My only consolation is that it's review time (how much do I hate the practice of having to critique my own work on an annual basis? A LOT), so hopefully this will win me some brownie points wrt a raise/bonus. I was sooooo bitter at having my holiday interrupted. And I was forced to come in at 7am this morning. :-l

I think I'm going to take a week off when ropo's here (in 3 weeks!). Ideally it would happen during her last week, but it just so happens that we'll be short staffed during that timeframe and I'll need to be around. Le sigh.

The one good thing that came out of the weekend is that I've made some headway on a story I've been working on since January or whenever it was that we first played Cranium at gnrationfo's. I don't know what my problem is, but writing this sucker is like pulling teeth. I think it's because I've named a character after akscully. She always creates problems.

I am in love with Bit Torrent. Because of BT, I now have the soundtrack score to Equilibrium, which rocks so hard, but was never publicly released (probably because the movie was in theaters for so short a time). I think there are a few copies floating around in the world, which is how it got to BT, and one is selling on eBay right now for $79. O_O Composer is Klaus Badelt, who also did the score for PotC, which I also loved. I'm a big fan of film scores, and it's been awhile since a specific composer has managed to catch my attention. The scene when Preston rips off the film covering his window and sees outside? *weepz*

I am the only person I know who felt lukewarm about Spider-Man 2; everyone else has loved it. Oh well. Being in the minority is a tough job, but someone's got to do it.

I'm Back!
And I finally saw SM2. Only problem was that I couldn't remember what happened in the first one so I didn't get half the references. Oh well.

Erm, I thought some of the visual direction and effects were good, but as with most superhero films, the script made me want to either cry with pity or just laugh at them. :D So yeah, lukewarm would be a correct verdict on my feelings for it.
