Mary Beth and I walked over to Studio on the Square last night to watch The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution, a documentary about exactly what it sounds like it'd be about! It was really fucking good. Well done, mostly interviews. I learned some stuff too. Afterwards there was a qa/panel discussion thingie with some mostly local people who were in the party back in the day. It actually went on much longer than the usual post-movie discussion and it was really good too. One of the people was the guy who directed another documentary (recent, I think) called I Am a Man and it was endearing how little he wanted to actually talk, mostly just passing the mic to the others (though he did get some words for his closing remarks). Today was my sole real work day today. So I did some work and stuff. Went to lunch with some folks, I bought Patrick's lunch 'cuz he'd just very recently found out he's going to be a father! There was a meeting in the afternoon where it was pretty much just watching this guy go through his code. It wasn't even the talking-about going-through, not even that. Just everyone else sitting around for an hour while he worked. Towards the end of that hour I was scared I was just going to fall the fuck asleep. My vision was getting blurry and I was struggling to find something to do to keep my brain from going out on me. With nothing going on combined with lunch having been recent (and the doughnuts that I was pigging out on all day), that was a bad scene. Anyway...
