My Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin page is up to 4 people now.

This is so frustrating -- I have an iPhone app that I want to rush out to market *now* -- but I don't have the tools necessary to develop it. All I can do right now is the design.

I'm greedy because I want to keep all the money for myself -- I need it -- but I'm thinking I need someone else to develop it.

I will not see the Hangover 2 in an Albuquerque theatre. Not even in a new York theatre.

An L.A. theatre, perhaps.

But I agree this is a big big movie and should be seen to see what the trends are.

It was good to hear from Albert today.

And good to hear from Selian yseterday.

I ahve several dilemmas.

I was fretting yesterday about not having the money to buy a po box.

Once I got the $31 dollars, however, I shifted and felt I should keep the money, hang onto the money.

Once I got the money I felt I should do this.

Still need to get the CRX back from La.

Still need to get my place back.

I also made some progress and got Wordpress uploaded (and figured out) onto my account vson. (I figured out that you didn't need some new system to do this, you can do it on your own existing unix account.)

I don't know what the hell I'm going to do about my life. But I need a money solution if I'm going to take care of all these problems.

Assassin's Creed reminds me of Airon.

I hate the font they use for the menu selections: arg, it's just a cold, cold horrible kind of emotionless look.

The science of Star Wars?

I've always thought Star Wars, in terms of its technical aspects, to just be a whimsical flight of fancy. Such that when anyone talks about deconstructing the "science" of Star Wars I just find it silly. 

Do I have a prejudice against Star Wars?  I consider Star Trek to be much more scientifically accurate. However, am I just buying in to one religion and rejecting another?

Pat tells me that fer crissake, Star Trek was created with NASA consultants and other scientific consultants on board, brought on by Roddenberry, at the beginning of the series.  So perhaps I am too hard on myself for rejecting Star Wars on this front and propping up Star Trek. It's always been hard for me to have a conviction. I'm always second-guessing myself and fact-checking myself, going, "am I sure on this?" when I shouldn't. When it comes to religions, I'm always making sure I'm not totally delusional and making sure I'm not just blindly following one. 

But yes, when it comes to Star Wars, all this stuff - the light sabers that go yay high, to quote Kevin Smith & _Clerks_ (the ABC cartoon), the Millenium Falcon that makes that powerful kind of hybrid jet-engine / aircraft carrier sound, the pretty silver-blue-white colors and iceberg patterns of travelling through hyperspace, x-wings that can turn and bank like airborne WWII planes without any bank of on-board multi-directional thrusters (see Battlestar Galactica 2003's Vipers for an example of this) - then yes, all of this stuff *is* pure flights of fantasy and we best not forget it. Star Wars is the fantasy, Star Trek is the science fiction.
