cumbersome solution
Kirby realised that the red stuff coming out of the slain Elves in Aurora und der Ork1 isn't paint. Took him a while to integrate that realisation.
I got angry about the routing patch a colleague did for a show i'm currently working on. It works, it just involves many possible breaking points and is a cumbersome solution. All he would have needed to do was, frankenstein together two male <-> male adapters and it would have worked out perfectly fine. Now we have to wait for a signal from the Light Technician, and then repin two cables, loosing control over house lights and local dimmers in the process--which should be fine, i just experienced one case, where we had to take over house lights so first responders could take care of an audience member who had a seizure during the performance.
I'm angry at myself for 1) not teaching the colleague well enough to find out the solution and 2) not seeing the obvious solution at firsty glance.
Didn't plan on, but watched the first episode of Star Wars - Skeleton Crew. Just so we are on the same page: i have no quarrel with black people or women in Star Wars, i liked The Last Jedi--only the pacing is off in that movie--, The rise of Skywalker soured the whole franchise for me, and the tv shows are all senseless fetch quests with the odd cameo sprinkled in between. Ok, occasionally watch something from the first season of The Mandalorian, and The Bad Batch was surprisingly good, even when The Clone Wars seemed to be a never ending ordeal. The Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars still is great, the art style certainly isn't for everyone. Rebels still rules. After two episodes, i gave up on The Acolyte due to not giving a fug about another thing that shows what shitheads the Jedi were.
Skeleton Crew seems fine. I wish it would have been toned down more, so i could have watched it with Kirby, however, the high stakes give the kids more agency. Perhaps i'll give The Acolyte another chance. I feel like i've forgot to mention a show … Ashoka! I was hyped up for that one, and David Tennant training droid i my jam, and then it felt like it set up a chessboard for a game that'll never get played. Star Wars as a whole feels like it's fine with having its head up its bum and admiring the wallpaper, which sadly is understandable with enthusiasts talking up a storm about every detail. I admit, i was part of that.
