Okay, okay, I admit it, I failed.

I didn't finish a novel during November. Didn't come close to finishing it with no guilt laid upon the timetable. In truth, I gave up long before the month ran out. It's hard to come to grips with. I could plant excuses in your minds but what it came down to is I didn't have the wherewithal to continue the task. Perhaps this wasn't the time to tell this story since I received too many other transmissions through the ether.

The story hasn't been given up on, it's just postponed.



Moving on, I reclaimed my iBook from my cousins. I had let them borrow it with the distinct impression they were going to be buying a computer, Mac or PC, in the near future. They didn't and I was stuck not wanting to leave them stranded with internet but without a connection point. In casual conversation I found out they didn't use it and their grandson, the one I primarily had left it for (it was loaded with tons of arcade and NES games), quote, hated, it. His bitch of a mother (she is, her husband/my cousin can attest to it) had bought a PC and he liked it much better.

And on the topic of Macs and PCs I am fucking sick and tired to being thought weird because I'm not an idiot who uses a PC. That's not saying all people running Windows are stupid. I'm just tired of being a Mac user who has to do PC tech support and listen to people say "I wish I could do more with it." Goddammit, you can! You have to assert yourselves. Or, get a Mac and give it a chance instead of saying it's difficult because you're not willing to ride the learning curve (which isn't steep, I've done it). With bundled software like iLife I have found that I'm more productive than the days when I would sit in front of a PC staring at a blank Word document, learning more than just using Photoshop which I switched to the Mac for. I just had to try and sale the idea of gifting a Mac or a PC to a coworker for her daughter. I imagined how this person, whom I never met, could use iWeb to set up her own website or collect all her images in iPhoto, make a home movie in iMovie, make music in Garage Band. Then there's widgets and iChat and Time Machine, the built in iSight camera. Considering this person only cared about reading emails, browsing the internet and typing up the rare document, I told her mother to get a PC.

The fact that people prefer to be stagnant baffles me. PCs aren't useless either, just the majority of the users.

Oh, and a 6 year old should not have a fucking laptop of her own. I'm really starting to hate my coworkers.

You can get back to the novel this month.

Anyway, Jon Peters, Guber's partner produced Batman.

I didn't see Batman Returns, but I liked Batman. Most of the films, though, that Sony released under Guber and Peters' tenure were real clinkers. There's a great book about them, "Hit and Run: How Jon Peters and Peter Guber Took Sony for a Ride in Hollywood" by Nancy Griffin. Jon Peters, in particular, is a really interesting character. I'd like to see a movie about him. In fact, I'd much rather see a movie about Jon Peters than a movie produced by Jon Peters. There's a lot of great stuff about him in the book. You should definitely check it out.

I have been failing miserably at updating my website. Every once in a while I become determined not to be a procrastinator on this... let's see how long it last this time. Sometimes I think if I had certain parts of my life where I'd like them to be, I would then be more efficient. But what can I do? Not a whole lot... take the lovely Ambrosiastar for instance. her Fiance?? What? Seriously? One of the few seriously hot friends I've met on here, and maybe 22? a few of my fav SGs have been getting married and having babies and shit too. Makes me sick. blackeyed
