Muskateer
Still plugging away at the Transformers music video, I'm done 3:10 of the...4:30 song. Not bad, getting there. :)
I went with Shaun and saw The Muskateer tonight. The fight scenes captivated me in the trailers, and they didn't disappoint. As for the storyline...well...there wasn't really a storyline. If you wanna see some sweet fight scenes that are NOT matrixy or martial arts-y, check it out. If you'd wanna see it for the Muskateer legend, or the noble storyline...well, you probably wouldn't like it. It wasn't that accurate. For the regal, noble Muskateer charm and undescribability (that a word?), The Man In The Iron Mask is much better. Much better.
Good points
The opening tavern fight, the final ladder duel, a cool cliché antihero anti-muskateer.
Bad points
Doesn't follow true muskateer story, no storyline to speak of, seems very rushed and not believable, dialects clipped and not at all french.

Nothing of note
Working on the music video right now. And I've got the manual camera, good to go.
Wicked comic (a bit psycho though) --> Trepanation by Locke
That is all.

It's unbelievable.
Damn. The more I see or hear of this, the more unbelievable it seems. I think the sheer weight, the actual impact of this disaster, well I know I just cannot comprehend it. The numbers that have been estimated is simply unreal...and staggeringly horrific. I think Katie had the right idea, when she said it's best not to think about it...
I can't believe it, and I'm in BC. I simply can't imagine what it must be like for the people there.
Trev has been saying that this is it, the beginning of World War III. Pulling up the contrast with Pearl Harbor once again, his prediction is starting to be very chilling. It's with a worried mind that I go to sleep, and I think for the first time in ages, I won't complain about having the radio on the news at the breakfast table tomorrow.
May tomorrow be an infinitely better day...

Tragedy.
Today has been a tragic day for the USA, and the world.
I'm sure I don't have to explain the details. If you actually do not know, there is a full story here.
There's not much I can say that will stand out among the millions of similar comments. It's awful, digusting, and terrifying to know that such a tragedy can strike without any kind of warning, in today's day and age. It's also sickening to hear that the fanatics who claim responsibility were cheering and proud over their actions. The fact that they can claim to be doing this in the name of God, taking innocent lives - well, it's truly maddening, to say the least.

Hahahahaha - two words: SPACE GHOST
This is from a video clip I downloaded of Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
There are four characters. Space Ghost, Zorak (the mantis guy), Moltar (the metal guy) and a real-life person who I'll call Harry (cause he's hairy). That's what color their lines will be, the same color as their names. Space and Zorak are in the talkshow lounge area, Moltar is backstage.
Friday, 11:04 pm
Father, finally you, you admit that you're my father.
Yeah, well good luck proving it.
Space Ghost, I'm picking up four unidentified heat sources on my monitor screen.
Ah, they're probably just creatures, Moltar....space creatures.
They just violated our air space.
....bring me my monacle. I want to look rich.
Friday, 11:05 pm
And that other father that they told me was my father, is he a stepfather, or just a stranger?
(cuts him off) ah, I don't know. *hands over a magazine* You seen this?
Wow.
Yeah.
Do you like human women?
...I like these twins.
Here's an update, on those flying, dangerous space creatures.
Fill me in.
They just entered the building, through the loading dock.
.....really! *pauses, then goes back to his magazine*
Friday, 11:09 pm
Under these clothes I'm wearing, I'm wearing a ballerina outfit.
(with a giant plant pod in front of him) Yeah, what's this pod doing here?
Replicating.
.....replicating what?
Eh.....us. *scary music*
Oh no - replicating pods! The kind that keep you up all night with their coughing!
No, the kind that copy your DNA, kill you off, and kill you while you sleep.
With their coughing.
*sighs* Did you hear what I just -
No one sleeps with my grandmother! ...right?
Right! From now on.
This is for nana! *Zaps the pod next to him*
It's feeding on the rays!
(still shooting) It's the rays, it's, it's, it's feeding on them! *screams like a girl* What should I do?
*chuckles* Shoot it some more!
But...it seems to be feeding on the rays! (still shooting)
Then stop shooting it!
Do what now? .....oh. (stops shooting, looks at the giant pod next to him) Dang it! Well, looks like they can't be killed. Er - here Zorak, trade with me.
Heh heh heh...I don't think so. Muah ha ha!!
*Space Ghost shoots the pod next to Zorak* Who's laughing now, Zorak? Who's laughing now???
Friday, 11:28 pm
(Space is staring at the pod)
Hey! Touch it. Go on! See what happens!
Touch it. You know you want to...
C'mon, man! Touch it!
Yes...feel its heat...
Touch it!
Stroke its supple contours...
Nothing will happen...just touch it!
(Space Ghost gets nearer and nearer)
You know you want to. Touch it!
Touch it!
It's there for you to touch.
(closer, closer, closer...) There I touched it! Now I have to leave.
Aw you did not!
No I did, I touched it!
...who else is gonna be on the show?
Your guts!
...oh.
(Space Ghost is at the exit, presses a button, door opens to reveal...a giant orange blob!! *Space Ghost screams like a girl*) The blob! (Pod sneaks up behind, Space screams again and leaps back to his seat) I'm back! *looks at the giant orange blob oozing over all the windows*
Friday, 10:25 pm
*yawns* I am so sleepy!
*yawns* ...yeah.
(Moltar is asleep)
We should take turns sleeping! *looks at Space Ghost* You go first.
You'll wake me up if the pod starts replicating me, right?
...probably not!
Listen to me. We're not gonna live through this unless we all put aside our differences and band together as friends.
(Moltar throws a switch) Lounge lights dim and lullabies start playing.
You see that's exactly what I'm talking about. (looks at Zorak, who is playing the lullaby on his desk) *shoots Zorak*
I might need another coffee.
Good idea! We'll go get some coffee! You stay here, try to live. If anything bad happens...to you...well...we'll be getting coffee!!
Ahaha, father, you are my hero!
Yeah, thanks! *leaves with Moltar and Zorak, each followed by a pod*
(to pod) You're not human, are you? (pod unfurls to reveal spines and needles) You should get that checked! I admire you, I don't know the reaction you want! I, I fear you! (pod moves closer) You're gonna kill me...*giggles*
(over at a table where Space, Zorak and Moltar are having coffee) *Harry screams horribly* (They just keep drinking)(this goes on for about a minute)
I have an idea.
Saturday, 2:04 am
I've got it! We'll get the blob...to kill the pods!!
How are we gonna do that?
Hey! (to the blob) Blob! You, uh - heard all this stuff the pods have been saying about your mother? People were laughing, man! *silence* ...So! You wanna, uh, come in here? ...and kill the pods? Cause of what they said? ...about your mother? *blob says something* I'm sorry, I had no idea. (walks away) What's that, pods?! The blob is very fat??
Saturday, 7:18 pm
Didn't work, did it?
Of course it worked! But now I have a better plan! One that excludes the blob's stupid mother! I'm going to order one of those mind-erasing kits!
You already have one!
I know. *silence*
Well?!?
Can't you see? If we erase our minds, and forget how sleepy we are, we'll stay awake forever!!
(Zorak just stares at him)
...so this is my idea. I'm thinking about ordering one of those mind-erasing kits!
Thursday, 8:00 pm
Here's what we do! We order one of those mind-erasing kits!
You already have one!
If I already had one, don't you think I'd remember that?
So go get it!
Get what?
The kit!
What kit??
Friday, 5:23 am
Alright, here's the plan. We create a diversion by throwing the planet's orbital axis off by 13 degrees. Actually - 10 degrees should do it! You don't wanna throw it off too much, cause...well, y'know.
(shows Space Ghost looking blankly on)
Now, once we've lowered the gravitational fields by say...40 gigawatts, and secured the outer perimeter...securely, well I...I think it'll be just fine! (pulls out a big ray gun) Any questions?
(shows Space Ghost looking blankly on with his monacle)
Okay then! Move out! Lock and load! Happy birthday! And stay frosty! *fires*
I'm going to order one of those -
Alright, I got a plan. Everyone knows rust never sleeps, right? *Space and Zorak look confused* ...right! So, if we all rust...we'll never sleep! Ah? Ah??
Moltar you're the only one here made of metal. How are we gonna rust?
Saturday, 11:13 pm
So...after...you get metal-plated...that's when...we all go...to the beach! ...to rust.
Gee that's a great plan, Moltar! But if we could get to the beach...we wouldn't haveto be metal-plated.
Sunday, 8:09 am
How many times do I have to tell ya - because we'd be! at! the beach!!
Monday, 3:45 pm
(speaking into the camera) Mayday, mayday! I'm Space Ghost! And I am in some big danger! My plans were foolproof! But it started feeding on the rays! And then Moltar had a plan that never would have worked! I need a ship to rescue me! I'll be waiting for you out by the front gate! Thank you!
Nobody can hear you, Space Ghost. We've been off the air for ten days.
Excuse me. *teleports to backstage* Please don't tell me how to do it. ...it sickens me.
March, 99:099 A6
Mmm...this is some good coffee! I thought we were out of coffee!
I found some more. It's in the orange container.
*spits out the coffee* You fool! *keels over* That's decaf!!!
(everyone falls asleep, and the pods move in...)
