Jems' Law?
I think we need a new fandom law, akin to Godwin's Law, that states that anyone who posts any variation of "get a life" in a fandom-related forum automatically loses the argument. Who's with me?
I'm translating a movie right now, and I really wish that when they give me these kinds of assignments, and then shave five days off my deadline, they could at least mention that there's a lot of Danish in the movie. I hate translating Danish because it's too similar not to recognize, but different enough that I can never be completely sure of a correct translation. Fortunately, I have a Swedish translation to base it on, but I still don't appreciate the extra work so close to the deadline.
Got another DVD set in the mail. When I got the notice to pick it up I figured it would be season 7 of The West Wing, but it was My Name is Earl. I already watched the bloopers (because that's what I do) and I have to say that of the four DVD sets I've gotten this month, they're second only to Arrested Development's (sorry, but nothing can beat Jason's "fluffer" line). And they were even longer than the Office bloopers - 20 minutes.
Also, Victor Hammer needs to come back to VM because I miss the pretty. I didn't realize just how much until I saw DVD quality MNiE episodes.
I'm thinking of blowing off work for the rest of the day (despite the encroaching deadline) and capping the Office season finale, an episode of VM and possibly BSG's "Downloaded".
