Despite the great excitement I feel about this latest incarnation of SCS, I’m really, really trying not to let it suck all my free time in the few precious hours I have between factory and sleep. And although I’ve gotten lost more than a couple times in the sheer number of WordPress themes, I’m determined to stick with the Horsehead Nebula for as long as I can. It’s a fitting theme because of my reawakened interest in astronomy, as long as it’s not too difficult. I’d rather work on getting SCS back to rights, complete with those monster lists of links and the badges and…and…and…I hope I can address that this weekend in between getting my blood taken, working on my friends’ website, answering email, and all the normal weekend events. Next weekend is shot because I’ve set that aside for taxes, although I suspect it won’t take me too long to accomplish.

So, back to keeping my time in front of the computer from taking over any free time I might have. In order to accomplish this, I’ve reached deep into the movie vault and have come back with silent movies filling my hands. The Phantom of the Opera and The Thief of Bagdad are the two most recent viewings, with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde up next. I was all set to watch a silent version of The Scarlet Letter a few evenings ago, so imagine my surprise and disappointment when I figured out I’d mislabeled it as silent and it was in actuality one of those new-fangled talkies! Oh! I was so disappointed, but the telling of the tale at the factory provided many laughs, especially when I said I said I really prefer the silents over the talkies because I don’t sit on my couch and think people are really talking about me in a secret language only they can understand.

I’ll have plenty of new screencaps being uploaded when I’ve got enough to fill an entire CD; they’re all on the Compaq, which has really become my telly of choice and I’ve wasted enough CDs with only a few images on them at a time. At the rate I’m going, it won’t take long to fill it up. I’m finding more things about film that fascinate me, but that’s a post for another evening.
