SW Musings and a Bit More

I really don’t have much to say but I had some free time so I figured I’d blog. The other day, my mother wanted to see Star Wars again so we went. It was, of course, just as good the second time. Besides the fact Aunt Beru really let herself go, a couple things still bothers me: I realize Obi Wan wouldn’t recognize the Droids at first we they meet up in ANH since astromech and protocol droids look alike but wouldn’t he remember the names? And Artoo’s memory wasn’t erased apparently so why hadn’t "he" ever related the story or something especially the part about how C-3PO was created. I can imagine the twins asking about their mother between movies but it might have been nice to have let the audience in on what they were told especially since the discussion of it in the novels turns out to be crap.

Last night, we went to see the documentary Mad Hot Ballroom. It was about this middle school ballroom dance competition in NYC. I admit that really don’t like most documentaries but this was actually pretty good. Some of the interviews with the kids were pretty funny.

Next weekend, I’m headed up to NH to take care of my aunt’s four cats. We had four cats one winter or so it won’t be a totally new experience for me. Should be interesting actually.

The Neglected Blog

With the discovery of the time-waster that is Facebook, I find I no longer need to waste my time here. This is mainly why I haven't done any quizzes or other memes here in a cat's age. (I'm not a dog person...) They're all over there. Also why tell you all about what's not going on in my life when I can better waste time by making fake money off Lindsay Lohan's hi-jinks? Added to that, you can regularly follow the mundaness that is my life on Twitter. I don't want to say I'll never blog again. Frankly, this site and I have chronicled much over the years and I'm not ready to give it up fully. Every so often, something comes up worth sharing. Case in point, Thursday night, there was a retirement celebration for our outgoing OT professor complete with a guest lecturer from Boston, dinner and a vesper service designed by the professor herself. It was good Thai food, though admittedly not my favorite Asian cuisine, and saw many people I knew. My parents c

Reversion To The Old Ways

Since there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which of my posts get comments and which don't, I'm going post whatever I feel like. Sure, I love comments but I must face facts that I'm not going to get them. No, I'm not going to review every episode of every TV show I'm going to watch this new season again simply because it doesn't appeal to me any more. To be sure, I will write about some of the new series since that does still interest me but not every episode... I am going to go back to complaining about my love life occassionally though because, if I can't discuss it here, where can I? Remember that workstudy student I mentioned being interested in? Yeah, well she's married apparently and I think even has at least one child so even if she didn't commute from such a long distance, nothing is going to happen with that. (Boo!) This is the first time I've discovered information of this nature before I made a complete ass of my self so this is go

The Big E and Other Commentary

Last night, we went to the Big E up in West Springfield. It was apparently Connecticut Day so the parade was all CT all the time. It was the longest parade I have ever watched. It went on like forever. We got a baked potato at the Maine Building and a Spiced Apple Cider Donut at the Vermont building as well as sharp cheese called "The Preacher." I wanted to get "The Green Mountain Boys" which was supposedly XX-sharp but my father wouldn't go for it. We then went to the Sam Adams Beer Garden where I ordered an Octoberfest. Mine was 20 ounces so it looked huge compared to the little cups of chardonnay my parents ordered. We then went over to get the special Big E cream puff. Has anyone heard Clay Aiken's new song? He's covering Badfinger's "Without You" of all things and, I really hate say this, it's pretty good... We're having another Movie Night a week from tomorrow. We've decided today that we're going to watch Akeela
