This Wednesday and last Wednesday
Oct. 6th, 2004 06:39 pmLAST WEDNESDAY -- I don't remember much of last Wednesday, other than I watched "Law & Order" and I decided I'm not sure if I like Jerry Orbach's non-replacement. He's too quiet, and while that might make for a more subtle character, I miss the ol' loudmouth, wise-guy Lennie Briscoe chutzpah; I can't see the new guy hollerin' at some of the perps like our Lennie used ta, and I definately don't see him doing well with the snarky remarks ("You like jew'lry? I gotta present for yah from the City of New Yohk: brac'lets." "Have you ever heard of the three rings of Saturn? Well, these are the two rings of Rikers."). Can't wait till January when they start that L&O spinoff he's supposed to be in...
TODAY -- I've already posted the bad news of the day... not sure if there's really any good news either, other than I finally figured out how to divide the next chapter of "A Little Child Shall Lead Him", since it got pretty long -- twenty-eight pages in the manuscript. I was able to divide it into two parts, one 12 pages long, the other 16 pages long...
Bought the soundtrack to "A Beautiful Mind", used, at the CD shop around the corner from here. I'd been wanting to add that to my library of soundtracks for quite some time... The movie was among the first few that I saw in the theater with Mark and his buddies, the same day as Academy Awards Sunday that year. I know some folks are gonna argue with me, but I feel it got the awards it deserved. The script alone was eye-opening... Akiva Goldman wrote it so well, you wonder "What the heck was real in the first half-hour??!!"
So of course this gives me an idea for a kind of "Matrix" fic: a doctor at a mental health clinic is treating several patients with schizophrenia, and every one of them keeps talking about a guy named Parcher [the imaginary CIA operative Ed Harris plays in "A Beautiful Mind"]... But when the doctor tries to find out what's going on, he discovers that reality isn't what it seemed...
