Must work faster
Written by Dan
It's looks as though the battle lines are being drawn. In the first corner, wearing tails and frilly lace, we have the Criterion Crew [ applause ], and in the second corner, wearing a denim jacket and a half scowl / half smirk, we have the Moxie Mob [ applause ]. To commemorate this epic battle, I had initially planned on unveiling a nice, little flash movie that highlighted some of the pros and cons of each side's stance. Unfortunately, due to my compulsive perfectionism, I was unable to finish it, which leaves me with a lot of nothing to say.
This post was only supposed to be a couple sentences long... you know, something like:
"Hey everyone, I just spent the last 3 hours building this AMAZING flash movie that depicts the epic battle currently waging betwixt our potential theater names. I'd really be tickled if you'd take a look. Thanks. Bye!"
Now I don't know what to say. It's like that awkward moment on a first date when you pull up to your favorite restaurant only to find that it's closed for the evening due to a power outage, and your fly is undone. "Thanks power outage," you would most likely say. "Thanks a lot."
I often wonder if this blog would make a good book someday... like a beginner's guide to starting your own art-house cinema (unabridged). Thankfully, it's posts like these that keep me head out of the clouds and my grammar sounding like that of a pirate. In parting, I'd like to leave you with a haiku that I'm going to make up as I type.

No, that was too literal. Let me try again.

Feel free to leave your comments, if any, in the form of a haiku.
