New Car

I hadn't posted this yet, and I feel like I need to point out that I've bought a car. Again.

You might be aware that I have bad luck with cars. Abysmal luck. Sure, some of it's been a little bit my fault - here's a link to part of the story - but mostly the gods have conspired against me. Still, each time I get a little bit better at this. So, here's the new one - it's an '01 Honda Civic, 80K, manual, and it's in great shape. Here's pictures:

This is what my car looks like, from behind, if I was driving away from you.

There's some sort of internal-combustion system in the front, if you like that sort of thing.


And this is me putting my undistracted cognitive powers to work inspecting the automobile.

Possible Cage Match?

Good news - my two least-favorite director's seem to be on their way to a fight to the death. After Uwe Boll called Michael Bay a "f***ing retard," Bay fired back that Boll was a "f***ing idiot." On the off-chance either of them ever get invited to the Oscars, we'll have to sit them on opposite sides of that no-talent section they have in the back so that fisticuffs don't break out, which would be rough for Bay because Boll is trained boxer, time that he could have spent learning to read above a fifth-grade level. I can see the headline "Asshole Talentless Director Kills Director Of All Those Movies You Hate." And it would save us from Transformers 2.

More NAB pics

Kevin put up pictures from NAB, and I pulled one that showed more accurately than anything I put up what NAB is like:


2 million square feet of convention space, and all of it looks like this. As Kevin noted in his blog, it was a pretty exhausting. I kept trying to find places to sit down, so I sat through a couple extremely boring demonstrations in order to just rest my feet.
