I didn’t do a whole lot today. I went to see Source Code<\/a> and thought it was okay, if ultimately a little unremarkable and forgettable. (I think I pretty much agree with everything Keith Phipps says here<\/a>*.) <\/p>\n

I watched a couple episodes of The Muppet Show<\/i> on DVD and the first episode of MacGyver<\/i> on Netflix. Yeah, I know. I also did the Sunday crossword and read a very little bit of Kaleidotrope<\/i> slush, so it wasn’t all a bust.<\/p>\n

I am running into some printing issues with the April issue of Kaleidotrope<\/i> — of the “dear god toner is expensive and lasts a ridiculously short amount of time” variety. I’m hoping it won’t preclude my having finished copies in hand by next Saturday morning to mail them out, but that does remain a possibility. I think at this point all I can really guarantee is that they will be mailed out in April, though it’s not impossible that that will mean April 31.<\/p>\n

* Roger Ebert<\/a>, on the other hand, was a lot more forgiving; I bring up his review, really, just because of his aside that “After all, space travel beyond the solar system is preposterous…” which I find…well, a little oddly pessimistic. Certainly now<\/i> space travel is a difficult and costly affair, but need it always be? However difficult, or even unlikely, is it preposterous to think that, in the future<\/i> we just might have space travel beyond our sun?<\/p>\n

That said, the science in Source Code<\/i> really is<\/i> fairly preposterous.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
