This is another fine production you've gotten me into |10:50 PM|
It wouldn't be a Gravity Well/DamienMalice/LucidVision production without someone we were forced to trust bailing RIGHT before a criticaal deadline, along with catastrophic hardware failure.
Earlier this evening I had been called by Captain Fantastic to help with some technical issues with video capture. I thought to myself "Alright, so it should take about half an hour. So it's going to take 3 hours." As it turns out, I should have sextupled the 3 hour estimate.
Sextupled, is that even a goddamn word? We're currently at the G.Well/DM/LV/DnIC HQ, No Mor studios. Of course, No Mor is a small former bedroom in a residential area, but it is dedicated. So that makes us cooler than 90% of the beret wearing, coffee drinking film goofs in this town that never make it out of pre-production. Because, if I may toot our collective horns, we may go through re-fucking-diculous problems and operate on a budget where the shoestring is stolen, but we always finish the movie.
Hell, we're finishing "Chicken Ass". I have much greater confidence in Chicken Ass after some comments PortalStar made upon seeing the chicken prop. Specifically: "Cecil! What is this?" then "This thing, this chicken thing on the coffee table" followed by "It's horrid. Do you have a cover for it or something? It's hard to look at"
Hackworth is gone. |9:21 AM|
David H. Hackworth is dead. I am aware that this is week old news, but I just found out now. I thought I should mention it.
Though I know even mentioning it would worry my folks to death, Hackworth was the only author who managed to make me (once again) contemplate joining the armed forces, if only to put my money where my mouth is on a few issues.
I'll just have to keep trying to help and love this country in some other way. Hackworth did more than I could hope to in the services. Perhaps I'll make changes in another field that he could not.
They have a donation site up, for Soldiers for the Truth. An organization of which Hackworth was the driving force.

More Dorky Crap |12:50 AM|
So I was on OKcupid, and though I don't usually read the message board thingys, one caught my eye.
The Subject was: WHY DO I TRY? ******** http://www.okcupid.com/event/eview?id=3676943864 WOW I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO THIS BOY AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT HE HAS BEEN DATING SOMEONE ELSE FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND HE JUST CAME OVER TO MY HOUSE LASTNIGHT...! WHAT A JERK....WHAT SHOULD I DO? ******** My reply:
Contract a horrific venereal disease. Beg him for sex. From your side of the story, he'll fall right into the trap.
Treat yourself with antibiotics, and wait for his dick to shrivel off.
Foolproof. *******

Pent Up |12:33 AM|
Right, it's been a while since I've updated, so now some horrificly dorky shit.
I was on an internet forum, a large and popular one. It was large enough and exclusive enough that when naked pictures of a female poster were released in one way or another, it was a notable deal.
Enough of a notable deal that said images (sometimes not even naked images) were collected into an archive, for ease of passing around. One of the more desired women on the board never had any naked images surface, but some alluring stuff was out there. Now, I was good friends with this woman at the time, and an odd picture of her and me became part of this archive.
Exibit A. That image was in the middle of a couple of other images of this woman. Which means, that when goodness knows how many dorks were jerking off to the series of images, they'd hit the "next image" button on their computer and whammo. Mr. Cecil and friend on a trampoline. Har. Har. Har. My internet pals and I were amused at the idea.
Enter this bad guy. This guy I was speaking with tonight, and he mentioned how a pal of his had just downloaded the archive in question. Thus:
bhinmanrr: OH! If that's the goonporn archive, I'M IN THERE. But not like you think. badguy:It is! But why not?
bhinmanrr: If you hit the (woman in question) folder, you can find a picture of me with her on a trampoline in Phoenix. Back when we were pals. bhinmanrr: I used to joke with a couple people that people have accidently jacked off to me, by hitting the next image button and HOOOZAH LOOKIT ME.
badguy: HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA JESUS badguy:I have totally jacked off to that photo!
bhinmanrr: OH GOD bhinmanrr: I feel violated.
Now the debate is raging on between myself, this guy, and third guy about who is actually "Own'd" Yes, we are colossal dorks. Is it the guys accidently jerking it to me, or is it me, the inadvertent target of pent up sexual frustration? Alright, "raging" isn't the word. Besides, this is a hypothetical question, dammit.
