the savoy whitman does not come with a chocolate sampler.
The quote of the day:
I can't work like this. I'll be in my trailer.
Running news:
3 miles, on a treadmill. Euuwww.
Oh hey. I won--or, rather, nobody knows anything won, but who's counting--a Savoy Whitman Award as one of the 10 best Web diaries or journals. I rock.
(Actually, I don't know why I won one, but I'm so pleased and inspired by the company I'm in that I'm hoping they don't notice which one of these is not like the others.)
If you see A Bug's Life, make sure you stay for the ending credits! A whole bunch of people left immediately, and boy, didn't they feel silly. At first, there are some still-life models or sketches for flora and fauna in the movie. Then come the outtakes. Done with animation. (Some of the outtakes are clearly done specifically for the ending, but I'm not sure all of them were.)
The movie's pretty good. At least, I think it is. The Grand Traverse Mall Cinemas where we saw it sucked, to put it politely. The screen was tiny, the screen had holes, and the center speaker of the sound system was screwed up so that we heard the side noises quite nicely while the center noises (you know, the important ones) were tinny or inaudible.
That said: I had a good time. Ants versus grasshoppers, David versus Goliath, Kevin Spacey. Honestly, need you anything else for a good time? I think not. Go see it.
And as an extra bonus: no songs.
Tonight was the last episode of Babylon 5, which was, of course, filmed last year. (Because that's when they thought the show was ending. You might have noticed a few continuity goofs as a result.)
If you've got it on tape, I'm in it.
Not that you'll see me.
In the very last shot, that has about 200 people in it? I'm in the top row, left of middle. Big fuzzy hair. That's me.
