Thursday night prescreens

I wish I could say that I've just gotten back from previewing Iron Man 2 and that it's totally awesome.  In reality, I've just gotten back from yelling at the projector for the last hour and a half, trying to get it to work.  To add insult to injury, we received two copies of the film so we could run it on two screens.  So everybody else was previewing the other copy while I was stuck upstairs in the projection booth.  Plus, I never did get it working; I'll be getting up bright and early tomorrow morning to meet a technician they're sending up from Denver to look at it.

I think I can say that Tony Stark is someone of whom I'm truly jealous.  Not of his trillion-dollar empire, or his cars or super-model magnetism, but of his mad creative skills.  The way he can juggle five different projects with seven more planned in his head and somehow focus on all of them simultaneously is something I'd kill to be able to do.  I've lost count of the half-finished ideas and works that I lost interest in or just plain forgot about because of something new coming up or lack of time to pursue it.  Who cares if he's a fictional character, the guy's a freaking supergenius that makes me feel like a massive underachiever.  All my flying battle armor does is catch fire and attack the neighbor's car.
