A couple of weeks ago I had probably my most nerve racking Monday.
I went for an interview for my dream job. It’s working for the Mental Health Foundation.
It’s an organisation I respect, The hours are great, the pay is good and I was utterly terrified.
I start on Monday.

Congratulations!

Thanks Warb, I will be thinking about you on my first day. Nothing quite prepares one for what you are experiencing. I hope fortune shines brighter on your family soon.

The Place to Go for Emotional Support

Terrible news Warb.
I too was numbed by my dad’s passing. The reactions you expect will come in time but you may just find yourself not registering. It’s a perfectly natural response. There will be lots to arrange. You are a very responsible chap so I can imagine you helping your mum and the other family and friends of your dad but be kind to yourself. Try and think of people you can talk to if you need them so you know where to go if the need arises.

Last movie seen

I saw Q2’s extended cut of Fire Walk With Me it’s a wonderfull thing. It’s very long.
It might have worked better if broken up into episodes as a mini-series.
The only bag I had was the burned in subtitles.
When I saw it in the cinema there were no subs at all and I have to switch them on on my official release so the scene in the Pink Room is kind of spoiled for me.
I thought the whole point of the scene is to try and figure out what people are saying over the load music (just like being in a real nightclub).
I’d have preferred the subs to be optional.
It’s still an amazing experience to have all this long lost footage finally slotted into the right position. It also makes me wish all the people we have lost could come back for the new season of the show. I love Jack Nance. I just can’t believe he is dead, well I know he is but it doesn’t feel real.

I actually find it quite inspiring such a young person is so interested in creating physical puppets. It looks like the video is rather popular so hopefully the right person will see it and give this artist the job he deserves.

Brilliant.

A bit late but something like this could replace the crappier CGI characters in the prequels.

I want tons more Death Stars.

Seriously THIS.
Imagine a Star War where the Galactic Governments have all collapsed and individual Star Systems have their own cloaked superweapons ready to demolish whole worlds if they themselves are attacked.
It would be a powerful metaphor for the Nuclear Arms problem (outside the superpowers).
It would also remove their status as a one film at a time threat. If there were lots of little systems with their own cultures and grudges it would lead to some interesting characters and situations. The only way you could reduce the power of a large Galactic Power would be to give the smaller systems the same firepower the Empire used to have. It would lead to some fun universe building too if we got to see these regimes as individual set ups and not sided with one group or another.
More like Dune but with added fun.
