What I Did During The Blackout

[marycrawford]

Heh. I love that we're calling it a blackout. It sounds like we were all stumbling around in the dark, wearing white nighties and clutching candles. (Apparently my brain lives on cliché's: in real life I wear PJs or nothing, and I would employ a Petzl headlamp, not candles. But anyway.)

- messed around with Prince Hercules, the Real Legendary Journeys episode I'm writing. I should have it ready for beta by tonight.

- messed around with the Live Till I Die vid again to get it in the right form for Escapade (vid guidelines are up!) and I'm going to have to bother flummery until I understand bitrates. It's not going to be pretty, y'all.

- finally watched Ocean's Eleven. I didn't want to watch it for ages because I thought it was a submarine disaster movie (you know, and then it sank, and they built another one and called it Ocean's Twelve. What?) and now I did, and it was great, with excellent dialogue and a fun, exciting plot. The only thing I did not like about it was the bit where George Clooney gets the girl (and they actually called Julia Roberts 'the girl', ergh) by being a manipulative bastard, not to mention a stalker. Eek. Apparently, this is what being romantic means, to some. Also, is it me or did Julia Roberts look really thin and unhappy in that movie? George Clooney, OTOH, is slowly morphing into Cary Grant before my eyes.

See, and I haven't seen the original, so I was unspoiled. There are so many good classic movies I have yet to see. Curses.
