Marginally annoyed... Sep. 22nd, 2005 @ 10:39 am
I hate it when the same pictures are posted less than 3 days apart in the same journal (Im not talking about crossposting) as if we haven't seen them before.

Maybe Im just hungry.

I can only hope that The Skipper hit him twice on the head with his hat just because he was so happy to see him. Though I'm sure Lovey and Thurston took a little time to say hello to their former cabin boy, as well. Sigh...another childhood icon gone.

May Darth Vader haunt your dreams no more.
RIP Admiral Ozzel
Michael Sheard
1940-2005


LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Michael Sheard, who played the unfortunate Admiral Ozzel in "The Empire Strikes Back," died Wednesday, Aug. 31 at the age of 65.
He died in his home on the Isle of Wight after a battle with cancer, according to published reports.

Sheard was born June 18, 1940 in Aberdeen, Scotland and was the son of a minister of the kirk. He studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and later served two years in the Royal Air Force.

He began winning British TV roles in the '60s on shows like "Dixon of Dock Green" and "Crossroads." He appeared in numerous "Doctor Who" episodes over 20 years, and was seen as a possible candidate to play Doctor Who at one point. He was also known as the terrifying teacher Mr. Bronson on the teen soap "Grange Hill."

Sheard played Adolph Hitler four times on TV and once on the big screen in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." His career was also dotted with roles as Heinrich Himmler (in two films and one mini-series) and various other Nazi-era Germans.

American audiences will best remember him as Admiral Ozzel, whose death George Lucas considered one of the best in film. In the scene, Darth Vader speaks to the Admiral on screen and uses the force to strangle him to death from afar. Sheard capitalized on his "Star Wars" fame by frequenting sci-fi conventions. His film career spans more than 30 years, and he's worked opposite Lawrence Olivier, Sean Connery, Roger Moore and David Niven.

Sheard wrote a multi-part autobiography, beginning with "Yes, Mr. Bronson: Memoirs of a Bum Actor." A portion of the sales from the fourth volume was used to raise money for cancer research.

Sheard is survived by his wife, Ros, and three children.

OVERALL...this is pretty true.

Computer Savant
47 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 52% Dork
For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in Geek and Dork, earning you the title of: Computer Savant.

People confuse you with a Nerd all of the time. You aren't some genius, like some people have said, and didn't/don't really like school all that much (and you especially hated some of the social aspects, like getting mocked). It's just that you have some passions and interests that you're extremely into/good at, and this has placed you in circles with other social outcasts, some of whom are exceptionally bright.

The awesome thing about being where you are is that you get to hang out with an elite group (though you'd probably rather be alone, or with only the closest friends and family) and you can make quite a good career for yourself in your particular specialities. Common to this group are people who are highly into electronics/computers as that is where the money lies, today.

Congratulations!

Thanks to everyone who expressed support over my cryptic post yesterday. I assure you while it's not all better I'm working on it. You know how when youre in the thick of something horrible it always seems the worst? Thats where I was yesterday when I posted. But I'm on the other side for now and thanks again.

What a shitty, hot, heartbreaking day.

Okay I just realized that Ive posted like 3 quizzes in a row and while they are all interesting quizzes, the year is not 2002 and I am not a newbie. (Does anybody even use that term anymore?) So here is the short update for the last few weeks.

I had what was described to me as bubblegut a few weekends back. For those of you who know me or who have met me in person bubblegut does not mean chubby (though I am) it described the feeling of bubbles in your gut i.e. a really horrible stomach bug. It was some sort of record for me because over the course of 4 days I only farted 3 times...and that, for anyone who really knows me is almost impossible. Anyhow I missed the local comic book and sci-fi convention as a result and that was the real bummer.

Been catching up on Battlestar Galactica and an older Steven Bochco show called Murder One which covered one homicide case over the course of a whole season. Both excelent and both very continuity heavy, meaning that if you jump in the show in the middle youd have no idea where you were. I love shows that have continuity like that, Deadwood, Lost, 24 all do that and I love them all.

Movies I have seen:
Kung-Fu Hustle
Overnight
Steamboy
The Aristocrats
Hustle and Flow
Episode III
(again)
The 40-Year Old Virgin

All pretty good but Ive started watching the original Star Wars trilogy again and while it is very cool to see them in a new light with Episodes I-III complete they just do not hold any sort of candle to Hamil, Ford and Fisher back in the day.

The new apartment is great except for the broken dishwasher which is being fixed even as I type this and the dog pooing all over kingdom come but Ive come to realize that that is more a problem of Jacquie and I being lazy then the dog not alerting us. If we just walked her when we were supposed to then Lola probably wouldnt feel the need to shit on the carpet.

First round of bills is paid for and rent is due in 5 days but we should be ok. The honeymoon is almost paid for (were going to Acapulco on a cruise!!!) as is the wedding in Vegas so as the day grows nearer I get more nervous but feel more and more prepared and in love so Im not worried.

Ummmmm......

Does that face that I had a banana, a granola bar and a can of Coca-Cola Zero for breakfast count as news?

Whats the long and short for everyone else?

You scored 14 Aggression, 28 Sophistication, and 42 Optimism!
Generally non-aggressive (or perhaps passive-aggressive), vulgar, and pessimistic, you can at times be both highly entertaining and very annoying. While occasionally you might be prone to sudden bursts of chaotic energy, you rarely accomplish much as a result and are often easily discouraged. You have a sophisticated side, but for the most part it is buried under layer upon layer of abrasiveness and vulgarity. The problem is you are probably a very intelligent person and as a result you deserve more than what your situation seems to allow. Jealously and arrogance are the twin albatross you wear around your neck. Try not to let others' success reflect negatively on your self-image, and reject the temptation to elevate yourself by bringing others down. Instead focus on what you would like to do with your life and you may just find hidden talents that you never before realized you had.

» Butt burns.
Oh man...getting up to go to the bathroom six times in the middle of the night is never fun. Especially when cramps are involved and I had to cancel plans I made today. I dont know what I ate or drank but dang...last night was miserable. And then Jacquie jumped on the bed and rattled my innards. So I guess what Im saying is I felt justified in sleeping from 12:30am to 3:30pm. Its only one day right?

p.s. Speaking of my music, how many of you have actually seen Penn and Teller Get Killed?
» Lusting for...
I want to write hour long television shows especially if they are science fiction or supernatural related. Currently I am working in post-produiction and while I enjoy it it just isn't creative enough. So I need to write a spec script of an hour long TV show that is currently popular and can showcase an ability to tell an hour long story arc possible in service of an over all season arc. Any suggestions? What is hot out there right now? I spend too much time watching Doctor Who and old episodes of Murder One.

In other news...
I love my new place but the dog shits on the carpet.
» Things I grow ill of
I am getting tired of:

--mesh baseball caps
--mesh baseball caps worn at odd angles on heads
--flip-flops with jeans that are frayed at the cuff
--guys who say "bro"
--most baggy jeans or jeans that sag
--people who can only talk about themselved

p.s. I was making a delivery in Hollywood tonight and I saw horse-mounted LAPD officers. I don't think I've ever seen that before. In fact, I don't even think I was aware that the LAPD had an equine division.
