I was watching Revenge of the Sith special features today and came across the scene where Anakin comes to see Palpatine at the theater and the Chancellor says, "Anakin, I have good news." Every time I hear that I want to turn it into a Geico commercial. A merchandising option old George let slip through his fingers...
Saw another Western yesterday: Vengeance Valley. This was more of the traditional Western that we are all at least somewhat familiar with so, perhaps at least partially, the pacing was much improved as was the story but the dialogue, alas, wasn't as funny.
Today, I finished reading my Christmas book: Consent to Kill by Vince Flynn. I like espionage fiction, particularly this author. It was pretty well written. There was a scene that, if this was a TV show, you'd expect it to happen but somehow, because it was a book, it really threw me. I know that probably doesn't make any sense but there it is. This is the six book in a series of sorts. You could pick any one of them off the shelf and read it and not be confused at all but it adds something if you read them all. Three things happened, one being what I mentioned above, in this book that make me wonder if this is the last one or just an opening to take it into a completely different direction. Time will tell.
Oh, and Lady Vader can breathe a sigh of relief. Her town decided I will not be working in the library after all. (I'm just yanking your chain.)
