Ode to a Guy in Black Armor

Today is the day folks. Well, for me anyway. Last night was the “day” for some of you I’m sure. But I don’t want to hear about it because I’m an adult and therefore had to go to work this morning and therefore could not see the midnight showing of Star Wars last night.

Lucas finally wraps up his epic in, hopefully, the best way possible in Revenge of the Sith. Return of the Jedi was originally going to be Revenge of the Jedi, but someone pointed out to Lucas that Jedi wouldn’t seek Revenge. And also, since all his films are PG, “Revenge” was a bit too strong.

If I see one child under thirteen in that theater tonight I will be so disappointed. It’s a 7:00 show so hopefully that will weed out some of the kiddies. It’s not that I dislike children. It’s that I dislike badly behaved children. And unfortunately nowadays most people’s kids are poorly behaved.

(I know everyone says it, but I swear to you all right now that my kids will not get away with half the crap you see people letting their kids do. Yelling in theaters, screaming in restaurants, hitting their parents, being mean to animals, etc. Not gonna happen. Sorry. I will NOT be having three kids just like me as my mother wished on me one day when she was particularly angry.)

So, anyway – seven hours, twenty-six minutes and eight seconds until I get to leave work. I’m leaving at 4:30. Sarah is meeting me here. She’s coming straight to EMC from her work in Framingham. She used to work at EMC so that’s not hard to find. Then we are heading over to the theater to stand in line. We bought our tickets already and the show isn’t until 7:00, but the lady at the theater suggested getting there two hours early so five o’clock it is.

I am so excited. I want GL to redeem himself through ROTS. TPM and AOTC were not that great. TPM he was just so excited he could have computer animated characters that he didn’t worry about the ACTING. And then in AOTC it got a bit better, but I don’t believe Hayden Christensen can act so. . .

I heard he actually learned how to act for this one though so there may be hope yet.

I don’t have any work to do right now, which is making my day go by even more slowly. But none of us have anything to do thanks to one particular person in our group so at least I don’t look like the retard.

Seven hours, twenty three minutes, and eleven seconds!!!!!

Hi. Found my way here from Noel Burke's blog. I was going to ask which items in the puzzle you had found, but then I read your Star Wars post. I am so excited about getting to see this movie today!!!!!! I feel just like you as far as TPM and AOTC. Everything I've heard about this movie is good, though, so I'm VERY hopeful. I have the "Making of" book and the pictures I've seen look awesome. I'm actually giddy (who came up with that word, btw?)over the prospect of seeing Chewie again. I'm going to see it this afternoon, when I'm hoping kids will still be in school, so it won't be too noisy. Have fun tonight!

And let me know if you're still working on the puzzle from Noel's blog.

ROTS Review - it's not all puppy dogs and ice cream

Well, Revenge of the Sith opened last night. I’m told it made 16.5 million with just its midnight show. I’m not surprised. This was the long-anticipated end to a huge saga. And I have to say that after having last night and some of today to reflect on it, I was a bit disappointed. The die-hard fans are furious right now, I’m sure. “What? But. . .it’s Star Wars. . .How can you not like it??” I will tell you how. First of all, I’m not saying I hated it . I enjoyed it enough and I definitely plan to see it again. There was so much to see on screen that you certainly need to view it more than once to take it all in properly. I did not hate every second of it. I left with a mostly satisfied feeling. But let’s cover what did bother me and then we’ll end on a high note with the things I really enjoyed. WARNING: HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD. 1. Anakin and Padme – the dialogue between them was definitely lacking. I cringed during the whole “I love you because you love me” part. But that ca...

Update from the road

I don't use blogger anymore. I love the interface here and I like it better than livejournal but there is just no sense of community for me here anymore. I still read a few people's blogs but that's it really and I never hear from anyone on here so... I switched to LJ. If you want to know any of the happenings of my life, you can catch up there . I'm driving cross country currently with my husband, Seth. We started at my home in Mass and are in cali now. We're going to be in Washington State by Sunday. That's where Seth's job is. For any of those of you who have my cell phone number, it's shut off right now. That's what happens when you get fired for no reason from your job, denied unemployment, and you can't pay your bills. But it'll be back on again soon. Even though i'm going to miss my family and the few good friends I had there, I am so glad to be out of that god-forsaken state. I can't wait to start fresh in Seattle. Eventually ...

Great Questions from my Favorite Movie Reviewer

In a note on my previous post kennelworthy said: " Okay, I'm sure I could find the answer to this by going through your site's archives, but I'm at work and therefore don't have that kind of time. Feel free to chide me for being lazy. But...without getting personal, I have a few questions. For starters, ( 1 )what kinds of things cause the JW's to excommunicate someone? ( 2 )If they would accept you back into their fold, would you want to go back...or was your df'ing something related to "core beliefs." For instance, the Episcopal denomination is currently fueding with itself over homosexuality in the pulpit. It's caused a split in the church proper over "core beliefs." So, is there some aspect of the JW's you disagreed with that led to your df'ing...or do you still hold the same belief system as them but they just won't let you back in officially? If the answer to the above is "yes", then ( 3 )why would you wan...
