So I'm sitting here watching Forrest Gump, one of
my deepest darkest secret favorites, and the Dutch Television
station interrupts it for the NEWS!!! Imagine, stopping a movie
for a half hour just for news.
I rail against movies with dumb plots or super thin characters,
but Forrest Gump gets to me. I enjoy it inspite of itself.
Primarily for Tom Hanks and Robin Wright.
Of course I'm still appalled it won Best Picture over Shawshank
Redemption and the King of Films, Pulp Fiction. Both of which are
vastly superior films. 1994 was a great year for films.
I'm in a bind programming. I'm modifying the quote module in the
program I'm working on to calculate using amounts rather than
percentages. It should be more precise, not by a lot, but by a
little.
But everything I do is turning out wrong. I try and clean up the
code and I break something. Not a big thing, so I fix it and move
on. 6 hours later I discover, oops, I needed that object I
deleted. I'm totally burned out on this, but I can't stop. I keep
trying to fix this and it gets worse.
AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
Cranked out this update in 20 minutes. It probably shows.
