Airing next week in 24 cities is the "first ever fan-produced, fan-funded television commercial" to save a television show.
The commercial itself is a little embarrassing and I could have probably done a better job of it myself. While the ad may not win any awards, it'll definitely get us Farscape fans some much-needed media exposure!
Yesterday work sucked. All it takes is one little hardware failure for the world to come crashing down and a flood of customer complaints to fly in.
I felt like an ass because I had to leave early. First I drove up to Pasadena to drop off some flyers at our mall cart. That was a 45 minute drive that should have taken 20.
Then I had to fly down to Anaheim in less than an hour to sign escrow papers. Tammy's still out of town, so I had to sign for her. And there were two sets of papers. I shit you not - I was signing our names for one full hour with no breaks. My hand is in great pain today!
After that I sped on over to the Anaheim Hills Saddle Club to drop off a deposit check for Tammy. Nutmeg moves in on the 1st!
Right after that I managed to make it (with a minute to spare!) to the new house to meet my realtor for the final walk-through. Luckily my realtor rocks, the people selling the house are incredibly awesome, and everything was perfect.
And then there was the drive home. There was this gigantic couch cushion just bouncing along the 91 freeway and it was one of those things that you just can't avoid because you're doing 70 mph and there's people around you and it's dark, so it came up and hit my front bumper before I knew what happened. So I spent an hour driving home worrying about how bad the damage was and how I was going to pay for it.
When I got home I couldn't find a single scratch! I'm one lucky guy!
So I've been rambling here, but I'm tired as hell today and you'll just have to deal!
Tammy comes back tomorrow, and she will make everything better!
Among other things, MAME now plays AREA 51! That's right! So how do you play Area 51 on your PC without a gun? You could use the mouse...or you could be a man and pick up one of these babies!
Someday I will have money again, and that is the day I will buy a faster computer.
Oh hey, over the weekend a free beta for The Sims: Online was released. You have to make a free GameSpy account to download it (and then wait in line for two hours to START the 1.4 GIG download) but you can play free NOW before they start charging $10/mo for it in December. I played a little bit last night, and it's jerky as hell.
I don't know if it was just network lag or my slowish (800mhz, geforce2) computer. Probably the lag. Anyway, it's sorta fun. Try it! Add 'Brettface' to your friends list!
Whenever I try to view my (empty) friend list, the game crashes. That's fun! Maybe you'll be luckier than me! Hooray!

I finished Metroid Fusion last night. The game was pretty fun, but it was way too short and lacking in depth! Not counting all the times that I died, it only took me a little over five hours to finish.
5:41 PM
I need to whip out the ol' Palm V and start keeping track of my schedule again. You don't even know. I'm totally forgetting about so many things! I haven't used my Palm since I graduated in 2000, and I used it like crazy back then.
It kept track of all of my deadlines for classes, projects, whatever. I also loaded AvantGo on it so that I could read the news when things in class got boring! The stylus made it look like I was taking notes!
10:58 AM
At first I was a little pissed that that Measure B passed in LA County last night. LA's trauma care system basically ran out of money, and they had planned to shut down a bunch of hospitals to keep from going under. Measure B will keep most - if not all - of those hospitals open, but it'll do it by increasing residential property taxes by three cents per square foot.
Then I remembered that by this time next year I'll be living in Orange County, and suddenly I didn't mind so much!
4:54 PM
I get a real kick out of looking at old photos of Disneyland. A lot has changed since it opened in 1955, but a lot is still exactly the same as it was back then.
Like take this picture of Walt and Shirley Temple. I know exactly where that was taken! There's a drinking fountain on that pedestal now.
This construction photo of Main Street could have been taken a few days ago.
Tomorrowland hasn't been this busy in a few years!
