I've installed the replacement touchpad for my oven. No more error codes, and the buttons all work. Yay.

Qiao and I went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens this evening, in 3-D. I forgot that my mom wanted to go with us, so I may end up going again.
A few impressions of the movie (Spoilers!)... )

missed bits

I've added some additional impressions about the new Star Wars movie to the end of my prior post.

One thing has bothered me lately, both after watching Sherlock: The Abominable Bride on TV and after watching this new Star Wars movie. It is the inability to simply look up the movie's official dialogue/screenplay online afterwards. They aren't freely available online, which is understandable, as they are copyrighted productions.

But still, it feels weird in this day and age not to be able to simply look stuff like that up. Not to be able to verify that the dialogue you remember hearing was actually what was said. To not be able to look up bits you missed. Watching movies over-the-air or in the theater is so *ephemeral*. If you miss something, then you've missed it. There is no rewind, replay, or pause. All movies and TV were like that in the past! How did we ever manage? Answer: We *had* to go watch the movie multiple times, in order to catch all the things we missed the first times. Or we had to go on living, without knowing what we missed.
