Random Thoughts

Welcome back Ziggy.
-------

So rediscovering the archived remnants of the fanclub devoted to me has made me think about certain things. Things I was going to do long ago. Things I was going to be. Things that got in the way of that. Just wow so much I was in the process of accomplishing but for one reason or another those things were left unfinished. Never in the right place at the right time for any of that. So much to, likely forever, go unfinished.

Gaffer Tape's YouTube Reviews of Awesome Candy-Creating Goodness! (The Facts of Life/Star Trek III Conspiracy!)
Time

I'll catch up with your Dragon ball vids later. Just wanted to transfer the recent comment I've made on one of your vids here.

Me:Hey, so I got around to watching this. Only to find that I'm the 666th? viewer. . . TV's Frink gets me into the darkside of the force and now this...
Gaffer Tape:It is your....? destiny!
Me:Man... Why can't I get density??? Destiny gives you offspring that you end up battling with whilst living in? a robo suit that breathes for you. Density on the other hand gives you offspring that ends up changing your life for the better via time travel!!!


Neat, first time I tried to post this here I got an error message. Now I have the perfect excu-, reason for not just posting this here in the first place!

I've been trying to find a proper mailing address for Disney, but can't find one.

I found a few with a google search and searching through the TOS for Disney.

TOS mail/numbers: 500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank, CA 91521-7725
(818) 623-3200
(818) 623-3637

Their contact information in the privacy policy adds a mail code:
Disney Interactive
500 South Buena Vista Street
Mail Code 7667
Burbank, CA 91521-7667
United States of America

A google search found mail address:
Disneyland Resort
P.O. Box 3232
1313 S. Harbor Blvd.
Anaheim, CA 92803-3232

Also the numbers in the TOS mentioned that it was for copyright infringement so I don't know if using them for our purposes would get us anywhere.

Seriously though. I haven't watched it either. I know I could handle watching the whole thing. I just got all this other stuff I'd rather watch instead.

Did Episode III have a single location shoot?
Time

There's a single close up shot of Obi-wan climbing out of a pool of water before it transitions to a master composite shot. So it's possible that, if nothing else, that could've been a complete on-set shoot.

Being asked to play your emotional scene opposite a tennis ball on a stick is another matter. ;)

That and George Lucas altering the script on the day leaving you with maybe three minutes rehearsal time.

Days ahead should be better... (was: So today not so good. More sad....)
Time

Thanks Warbler and doubleKO. They were Hawaiian Red Brine (Halocaridina rubra) Shrimp different from the hybrid "Artemia NYOS" aka sea monkeys. I gotta say watching them really make me appreciate my eyesight. Seeing their ten hind legs propel them as they swam. Seeing them pick their food up with their four hands(or maybe claws is the "official" term. Whatever I call them hands).

And hell yeah they had personality! This one time one of them tried to build a tower with the gravel until she or he took a break then another one came along and knocked it over. The other shrimp returned to see their tower knocked over stopped for a minute or so. Then swam away in a "fuck this shit" kind of manner. In retrospect I really should've made a documentary out of them. There was a lot of personality in them.

....
Well today my hands are feeling better so there's that at least.

Today, today was the closing of the G4 forums. With the network ending the forums have to as well. Well they were pretty much the first message board I'd joined. So I got a small amount of sadness that the small amount of hope of G4 recovering from the mess of the network is gone. Sure I hadn't even visited those forums in about 5 years. Still there was that hope that's now gone.

But whatever that's small amount of sad compared to what just happened to me in real life. I had some pet shrimp and I enjoyed watching them play and swim around. "Had" being the operative word. Shortly after the G4 forums closed I lost something much more precious to me. My pet shrimp. I saw the final moments. Granted it wasn't like they were dying at the exact same time. It been happening over the course of a few weeks. Seeing one die after another. Then today I lost the one remaining shrimp I had. THIS IS NOT OKAY DAMN IT!!! FUCK! I loved those little shrimp.

To top it off I accidentally injured my hands earlier so it's not exactly painless typing this. I just wanted to make a thread so I can just get some sadness out here. Didn't want to drag it into other threads. Also helps me vent a little.

Today fuck it. All this fucking stuff happening today... fffffffuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Are those really the original character miniatures standing atop the Sail Barge transport? I've seen better likenesses on action figures tbh...
Yep, that's one of the original Skiff models. Two were built. One size at 81x46x30cm and a smaller 40x10x14cm.

Here'a another picture I took closer up.

Chewy's bandolier looks like it's trying to escape the model itself.
