fbhjrWe went to see Stardust last night. It’s an OK movie. I think they could
have trimmed a bunch out without any harm to the plot.
But, I thought the basics of the story were pretty good.
It’s good to be able to do things together with Holly. To rebuild good
times together, even in fairly mundane ways like going to a movie.
It is difficult for me. I’m an engineer. I want to fix the problem. But,
I don’t have any specifications to work with.
It’s like when a sales person comes to me and says “the customer didn’t
like your last product. I need you to redesign it so it’s better.”
“What didn’t they like about it?”
“What you designed. Now make it better.”
It’s very similar now. I know things failed. I know things have to
change. But, I’m only guessing what to change, and how.
I know there aren’t detailed specifications on what to change.
But, I feel like I’m completely in the dark flailing about. Sometimes I
get something right, sometimes I knock something over.
