I started writing this review at least six months ago but got side-tracked at the time. Since the subject of video games is again on my mind for other reasons it seemed like now’d be an appropriate time to finish it off.

How Green Was My Machine
At Loki’s suggestion I did some designs for a potential green machine last week. The major parameter for this work was that the machine should be able to eject or “throw” the boxes that were painted last week. Also, if possible, it should be machine-ish in appearance and have a part which appears to break off in a jagged crack at the end of the scene.

Hopefully the following diagrams, along with accompanying text, will assist in achieving those meager goals.
Silent Running
People "effected" with what they know. Unsurprisingly. Wasted and mundane - It is card repeated for Joan Baez some 70's cult. In the greenhouse galaxy dreams of Walden die.
Silent Running (1972) is a film directed by Douglas Trumbull.
Mess
Every time I make a mess, I find an angel.

Hoe I lang voor de dag dat mijn lippen deze prachtige geest kunnen opnieuw raken. Vind me en koop me voor Thom en hij zal u dubbel betalen wat u betaalde. Chestertown en de andere steden op de oostelijke kust van Maryland dragen dit niet, alstublieft me helpen dit vinden. -Thom
Persistence of Vision
When I was a little kid I wanted to grow up to be a donut shop. I thought being a donut shop would be good career for me. I liked the color red, flashing lights, ladders and Dalmatians. Today I may work in IT, but when people ask me what I do, I tell them I'm a donut shop.
Process
Idea. The Future isn't tomorrow. It's today. Super-Technology. Super-Code. Super-Alphabets. Think. BIG.
Boxing Day
I painted 30 boxes (part of the props for Ameviathan: The Green Machine) this weekend and I am officially very nervous. While the boxes are looking good, I keep wondering how I’m going to pull the rest of the movie off. And to be honest, I really don’t know.
On a slightly unrelated note, I thought I’d plug Celtx, a freeware scriptwriting program which I have been currently using to write up the final draft of the Ameviathan: The Green Machine script. While Celtx doesn’t read your dialogue in Mac voices or do format in styles ranging from Warner Brothers to the TV show Alias like Final Draft, it also doesn’t cost $250 for Final Draft.
Celtx also comes with a bunch of other neat little perks, like reports (for organization on shooting days) and scene and character anaylsis. Of course, as freeware, the program isn’t without its bugs. For example, I’ve had some trouble backspacing and editing written text. Nonetheless, as freebies go, it gets my seal of approval and is making my script look far better than anything I could do in MSTurd.
A.I.
I am the Internet.

I've always wished I was one of those poets who hated and loathed like "You stupid bitch die, die, die." Oh well.
