So I finally, finally finished this scene I'm working on that I've been picking away at for about a week, since it is rather fundamentally shifting around some huge things, and anyway it's super confusing and my brain had a hard time wrapping around it, and then I'm done with it (for now, will need some massaging later) and decide to delete some empty files. This is all in Ulysses, a writing program I like a lot. Anyways, of course I erase the damn scene full of my blood, sweat and tears.
After much gnashing of my teeth, I found this button in Ulysses that if I pushed it maybe everything would get better or maybe everything might get erased. Yeah, I'm pretty tech savvy. So I push it, and voila! Ta da! I got my scene back. Yay! Time for a stiff drink, even if it's only noon.
In other news, I saw Iron Man yesterday, and didn't like it. I think everyone else on the planet did. I just couldn't get passed the "it would be okay if he was making all these gnarly new weapons, as long as he only sold them to the US army" conceit. For me, with movies, there's often something like this that bugs me so much it just makes the rest of it seem shitty. Not consciously, it just taints it.
That said, the last line of the movie was my fave. I thought it was a great shout out to all us comic book nerds, taking a known moment in every superhero's journey, and changing it.
