In Search Of ... A Theme
Mar. 30th, 2009 09:36 amFor some reason, the old Leonard Nemoy TV show "In Search Of..." came to me this morning. Since today's post is various random thoughts, the title fits.
Regarding the auto industry 'bailout' - It looks like a lot of tough love for GM and Chrysler. One should note that the government documents specifically and repeatedly mention the word "bankruptcy." I have to agree that Chrysler is no longer viable as a stand-alone company. The Chrysler - Daimler merger will go down in history as one of the most disastrous decisions of a US company in history. My only hope is that GM will be able to get its act together.
On the writing front, two of my first readers looked at Space Rescue and got back with comments. One of the first readers made some very useful plot suggestions. She felt that the villains were, if not "too stupid to live," definitely too stupid to be a realistic challenge. I think I fixed this over the weekend, and I'll probably briefly discuss it at the next writer's group meeting.
Over on the FX channel, they are running the movie SWAT on a continuous loop, or so it seems. Although the movie has the intellectual heft of cotton candy, it's a pretty good roller-coaster ride, and I've used it to decompress a bit lately. I've noticed that the FX Channel is advertising the latest Michelle Rodriquez movie during SWAT, which is probably no accident. I did find myself thinking that Rodriquez does really seem to enjoy her acting career.
On that (not-so) profound thought, I return you to your regularly-scheduled programming.
