Wow!  The whole hard drive is gone!  So much for asking about State Fair plans on the PFF board before the fair opens tomorrow.  I can’t believe that it’s here already.  I miss the days when the fair was actually in town during Holloween.  It’s just not the same when you’re going to the fair in temperatures which average in the high nineties or low hundreds.  I guess I’ll be using this temporary log on my computer in the meantime again.

I just got back from Hallmark.  It was my first chance to pick up the new ornaments that debuted over the weekend.  I missed out on double points, but I’ll survive.  It looks like there will be some more ornaments which will debut next month.  I broke down and bought another non-Star Wars ornament, the Christmas Fairy.  She was so beautiful, I just had to pick her up.  She’ll probably look just as out of place as the Incredible Hulk ornament I picked up a few years ago. 

Last night Bill and I went to an advanced showing of Tuck Everlasting with tickets supplied by Jay.  Wow!  What an awesome movie.  I can try blaming the goosebumps on drinking soda in an air conditioned theatre, but I don’t have any excuse for the tears that welled up in my eyes.  The brilliantly crafted constant sense of doom was countered by the beautiful scenery and inspiring coming of age story. 

Monday, Chris and Jon slept in until 8pm-ish, and Kristie was tired enough that she was falling asleep after 10pm.  With only an hour and a half of gaming, Chris asked that we get the chance to play one last session on the fourth Monday of the month.  He’d be willing to pick Wayne and I up this one time, and Jon could take us home.  Yesterday I spoke with Bill and he claims to have Mondays off like Jon and I, so he’ll try making it to that session as well.  We’ll see.

Wow!  I’d forgotten just how much I love The Nightmare Before Christmas.  I mean, I remembered that I’d loved it, but I’d forgotten much of the movie in the five or six years since I must have last seen it.  It makes me want to pull out my soundtrack and listen to it again, but I only have it on cassette.  My step-father has my only working cassette player.  I really need to get the other one fixed, but I never get around to it. 

I got a call this morning that my great uncle Gene wouldn’t wake up this morning, so he was rushed to the hospital again.  This time it is pneumonia.  That man has all the luck.  I really hope that God is able to comfort both him and great aunt Lucy during these times. 

The guys at work were all trying to convince me that the Arizona Mills IMAX had closed its doors for good.  They claimed it was in this morning’s paper and on the news last night.  I put up a brave front and told them that they weren’t going to fool me, but their united front and continued insistence made me call IMAX when I got home.  They’re still listing show times and offering ticket sales, so I’m confident that Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones will still open the 1^st of November.  I hope so, I took the day off from work.  I didn’t take enough time off for an out of town trip for IMAX Star Wars.  I’d jump on the PFF board to see if anyone else had heard the rumour, but as you can see I’m still trying a temporary log here at my computer.  Who knows when they’ll fix their computer.  I hear they’re going to try and get a grant for two new computers, so they may never fix the one they already have.
