Yeah, so. Stuff.

All Your Subtitles Are Belong To Us: screen captures of a bootleg Asian DVD of The Two Towers, featuring some subtitling on the level of Zero Wing. In the immortal words of Hama the doorwarden, "i cannot allow in front of the king with so many arms."

Friday night watched The Prophecy with Kelly, Ross, and Dave(bob). Despite its flaws (the two main humans, the script in places, the direction in places, the cheesy special effects) I still like it. It's got style. And the three angels that we see for more than a few minutes are spectacular. "Sometimes you just have to do what you're told-- it's who we are." Casting Christopher Walken as Gabriel and Aragorn as Lucifer helps, too.

Satyrday. Shuttle and game day. I feel obligated to note the shuttle, because it's been made into an Event, but it's just not such a big deal to me. Tons of people die every day. Are these seven more worthy than the rest? Game day was fun. Nothing too deep; played some Alibi, some Confrontation.

Today it's been chemlab and Kierkegaard. Yay fun. Now more Kierkegaard.

A friend of mine recently made the point, "It should upset you that not everyone is given such a tribute as these seven, rather than regretting that these seven were not overlooked as others often are." From a practical point, that's ridiculous; from a humanitarian one, it's drawing too much attention to a natural event. Everyone dies, y'know.

I disagree with so many points in her post that I don't know where to begin. Heh.

I would be lying if I said this didn't upset me. I think it's mainly that, to me, this event hits very close to home. I mean, while I didn't know any of the crew, I think it likely that I have met at least a couple of them once or twice, and just not remembered. I don't know too much about the orbiter, but I know enough to have a pretty good idea of what it must have been like when it happened, and it is a scary thing to think about.
