Dear Death Eaters,

it's been a while since i've posted to this message-in-a-cyberspace-bottle known as BLOG. to the few of you out there who noticed, my apologies.

finished editing my sister's wedding video. clocks in at a breezy 23 minutes. now, if i could only find a bunch of 30 minute tapes, i could start making copies and sending them to the appropriate family members... (this is your cue to post a suggestion for where i could find blank 30 minute VHS tapes)

couldn't bring myself to buy HARRY POTTER on DVD today. almost, but not quite. i think, maybe, in 20-30 years -- after all the books have come out, after all these movie adaptations of these books are made to varying degrees of failure -- someone with a unique vision might be able to take the whole thing and remake it into truly spellbinding cinema.

in 30 years, i'll be 56 -- hopefully, i'll have sold a damned screenplay by then...

anyway, i bought THE OTHERS on DVD instead.

dealing with more family drama tonight. well, C is, but I am dealing with them through the transitive axiom. i won't go into details. perhaps C will detail the story on her page, but suffice it to say -- it is exasperating when someone is given so many chances and fails every one of them... (vague enough for you?)

Read Ed Lin's WAYLAID. It is one kick-butt book. Sorry I don't have the energy to talk it up more right now...
