There! Its done. Octopus Hat is up, working, and good to go (until the first redesign of course.)
On the cool new jargon front, I was watching FoodTV and heard "Shoot a Wheel," which is what firefighters call ordering a pizza. I'm all for adoption of this! Mmmmm wheel....
Jules and I watched "Pulp Fiction" last night, and that was probably the first time I've seen it since like 1998. I had forgotten how GOOD it is. There was alot of Anti-Tarantino sentiment when I was in film school, though I'm not really sure why. I mean, sure he is derivative, but at least his Homage is FRESH! Some of his long-takes go on FOREVER, and the Vencent Vega shooting-up scene might be single-handedly responsible for the over use of drug-scenes in student films. One thing that I have always enjoyed is the anachronisims in the film. The world seems to be stuck yester-year, there is a reel-to-reel tape deck in Mia's house, Jack Rabbit Slims is steeped in iconography from the 50s and sixties, the settings are all old-LA. But then there little elements of technology, most notably the cell phones. I've always found it a little odd.
