Mr.Wright says, "Taken before Episode III, during a trailer for a movie that I will likely view — I never watch a trailer for any movie I have any intention of seeing. They're like eating all of the chocolate chips before you buy the cookie.

Used as a tripod here: the lid to one humongo-jumbo soda in the drink holder."

I just love looking at peoples' reactions in movie theatres. It so reminds me of something I or Amelie would do.

I am catching up

I have the entire account in a notebook. It is all comming, it may just take a bit longer than anticipated.

Day 15

Another Thursday morning of homework, and class; work all afternoon, hacking on breaks, then home for Survivor and CSI. I unveiled my room for mom, playing the second half of II to show her the sound system hooked to the G4.
I constructed Speeder Bikes out of Legos.

Day 16

Slept in, watched Regis and Kelly and a movie, made spaghetti and red pasta sauce with cheese (very good!), worked a little on homework, and went to choir. Mom brought home groceries from wall-mart and a little surprise for me: a 2006 STAR WARS calendar (the one with the SW movie posters.) *So Excited* I took down a poster of Orlando and put the calendar up open to the one that says “size matters not”, and from there decided to purge my room entirely clean, organizing too, and made a STAR WARS alter under the new calendar. Cleaning was accompanied by watching II while I worked.

Day 17

It was an early morning again. “Slacker I am, Yes.” Finishing up my assignment right up until the moment it is due. I had a guy call me about this survey I had agreed to do today. They sent me a tape of a demo show with commercials. I thought they were going to ask me about the promo show but no, it was more like an hour and a half talking about Bush’s Baked Beans and Puffs tissue commercials. It was a riot. I got a real kick out of it. The minute I hung up, Ben called, asking me if I wanted to go to dinner at Vall’s with Andreas and his mom. I said I couldn’t, busy. Then I went to get my hair cut. I love it so much! It is so cute! It was getting too long. I can’t pull it back now but that’s ok. It is cute! And it makes my shadow look like I have the Darth Vader helmet on. : ) I went to the library and got Fiery Cross, Cold Mountain, and Wild boy (a story of Rowan Hood). On the way home I saw Terry Werner standing next to a sign with his name on it. He waved at me. I was driving past the church on Mohawk, and decided to vote, contrary to what I had said to Ben earlier about not voting. Inside I met Sharon Nore, after hearing so much about her for so many years. It was great. I told her about how everyone asks me if I am related to her, and she told me how everyone asks her if she is related to my mom. lol. I went home and watched American Idol with mom, Voted for my favorite, Bo, and got a real hankerin’ for some hackin’! It took me a while to get a hold of my hack buddies, considering they were moping around about Terry Werner’s loss. I invited myself over, bringing the tape of Regis and Kelly I had taped for my self this morning because Hayden was on. I still can’t believe Regis said he was fighting “Obi-Wan-Your-Kenobi” in the clip, and that he thought that III was the one that starts the story over.
We got in my car and went to the park to hack. I brought my binoks and star chart so we could look at the stars if we got tired of hack. We did both before going home not too late.

Day 18

Hayden Christensen was on Good Morning America this morning. He said he remembers imitating Darth Vader before he remembers ever watching the movies. They showed a clip of him and Palpaatine at the space opera discussing the "perks" of the dark side. Hayden had brought some light sabers, and gave a demonstration with the choreographer from the movie. I watched the Perfect Score while I worked on my blog and checked my email. I talked to Andreas and Ben. While I had been on the Internet today I stumbled upon a site that goes deep into STAR WARS. I then realized how low a level of fan I am, a padawan fan as it were. I am obsessed, but there are far more levels of obsessed above me. My knowledge of the force only reaches so far. Its based solely on watching the main movies many times, and reading a few assorted articles and documentaries. I've not read any other fan fiction other than STAR WARS II: Attack of the Clones. I know a lot, but it is squat next to what is out there.
I had A&P review today at 6:30. Mom and I text each other while I am there. Stuff like: weather or not the skank on the Bachelor will go home, or if there is anything good on Antiques road show. I had text her about how low level fan I am, and she text me back that she brought home a STARWARS coloring book to color and study. lol. She is so cool about this, considering she doesn't like action movies at all! She is not into STAR WARS one bit. I since that she gets how big of a deal this is to me, though. Thanx mom.

I got an email

Well it seems these blogs don't go unnoticed. I got an email from Steve Silberman the author of the Wired article I mentioned in day 22. I would like to formally apologize for blatantly generalizing the content in his and the other articles. I didn't realize the impact of my words when I blogged them. I also went back to read the article again and found there was a lot more info that I hadn’t processed. It must be hard to write a new and original article after so many others have covered the topic before. Thanks to Steve for opening my eyes to that.

Day 19

This morning mom and I got up and had brunch with Lynne and Amy at wilderness Ridge. We had to battle our way across the marathon to get there, but it was worth it. The food was so delicious!
Crème cheese crepe, eggs, sausage, fruit, apple crumble, crème Brule, dark chocolate tort, apple crêpes, and breakfast taters (and that's just what I had. We delivered a few May Day baskets, and went home. I put on A New Hope in my room, and fell asleep in my chair. When I got up, mom and I watched Sunday shows and the DVD I got from Bruce: As Foretold (a film that Bruce and his cousins started in 2003).
