so, i was almost successful in posting from lynx. i was checking to see if my site was down (it’s not, but i can’t get to it from my home system). anyway, after i do a bit of writing, i will be packing up my computer (and the rest of my stuff) and driving back to la tomorrow. i also finally am getting a chance to reassess what i’ve accomplished this summer, and what i want to do in the coming year. i need to write this down somewhere.

i am also stressing a bit about my system integrity. a friend who has a login on my system had his usc student account compromised. although my logs look ok, and i’ve since disabled his login, it’s still one more thing i don’t need on my mind.

saw the way of the gun, the directorial debut of chris mcquarrie. both he and one of the actors, nicky katt were there and said a few words. the movie was alternatively really bleak, and bleakly humorous. really great script, and in the end, a atisfying film experience: …whether the end is happy or not…depends on how closely you’re willing to look at the details.

useless trivia: the official one-sheet was being shown, which had one gun per regulation as opposed to the two gun original.
