Major News: DirectTV restored at Fat Monster Films office

Yeah, it sounds trite and unworthy of mention to you, but when you've been living on the stuff recorded on our TiVO for two months it IS life-changing when new eyeball junk food becomes available. I mean, how many times can you watch Pick of Destiny and those seven episodes of Mythbusters? (we were rather unaggressive in our TiVO recording before unplugging and moving to this office). Anyway, obtaining the moving pictures required installing the DirectTV dish (illegally and without permission) on the rafters above the entrance. Not willing to capitulate to "the man", we refused to call the installer-geeks. Having lost the mounting bracket we made do with what we had (three different-sized picture hanging screws and a funny looking piece of metal). After 40 minutes of tediously moving the dish trying to figure out what 151 degrees azimuth, 40 elevation and 101 tilt meant we finally got a signal. Not a great signal, mind you, but a signal nonetheless. So, we called it 'good' and left the thing out there crazily tilted and ready to collapse with the first half-ass wind because the HBO was working and we figure that by the time it goes off line we'll get Bullis to fix it.
