Thanks...no, I'm still writing, even with the heavy antibiotic medications.
|
|
I'm still going into the office, but on half-day basis, which is about all I
|
|
can handle right now (and probably more than I should). The danger with this
|
|
kind of pnumonia is that it can feel like it's getting better, and you push
|
|
it...and then it nails your ass to the wall. (That's what nailed Jim Henson,
|
|
who had the same basic kind I have.)

I spoke to the folks at Image just before leaving for the UK. They had been
|
|
told, repeatedly, by WB that there *were* no widescreen versions of B5
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
Well, after hearing this, I gave 'em the names of the folks in the WB high-tech
|
|
division who've been conforming the widescreen negatives, and the odds are good
|
|
that they're going to do this.

Subject: Re: How's Joe's health?
|
|
|
|
I'm getting better. The pneumonia definitely knocked me for a serious 3-4 week
|
|
loop. I'm past nearly all of it now, just a bit weak at times from it all. At
|
|
the Wrap Party, I had to go up and rest between panels and presentations, and
|
|
at same wasn't quite as energetic as I'm used to being.
|
|
|
|
But it's all pretty much over now...and I got to shed 12 pounds I wanted to
|
|
lose in any event (didn't want to do that in 7 days, but there you are).

Only one thing works, and that's to pretend the stuff was written by somebody
|
|
else, so you can take a fairly objective look at it and cut whatever's dross.

|
|
|

The german pins are licensed; I approved the final designs, and hadn't noticed
|
|
that the Psi symbol was unstandard; we've used some variations in the show as
|
|
well.

Thanks, and good luck in dealing with folks like this, in this way. It's

Thanks again.

In most ways, I think Kathryn does fit that description.

Subject: Re: jms-Season 5 Acting differences after SIL
|
|
|
|
I think it did add a small note of somberness and foreshadowing to the S5
|
|
performances of a few cast members, which is why I had previously avoided
|
|
letting them know too much, to avoid the trap of having them play the result
|
|
instead of the process. It happens.
