Here is another spoiler-filled review of Revenge of the Sith by a member of the national film scene. 

 

Imagine waking up to your beard being eaten.  That's how my Monday began. Keep in mind that when Christmas and Spunky were kittens they wouldn't bat around a ball of yarn like other kittens.  They'd unravel the yarn and eat long pieces of it.  Christmas eventually turned to eatting the shed hair on the ground, while Spunky turned to eatting wires.  I'm sure the electrical zaps he must have had over the years are what changed his personality and eventually caused him to have his final stroke last year.  However, I'm none to fond of anyone who'll eat my hair before I have even had the chance to shed it!

 

So I spent Monday cleaning house from all of the clutter built up during LepreCon XXXI preparations and Star Wars:  Revenge of the Sith camping.  Bill called mid-project, and we decided to finally see Episode III in DLP.  Afterwards we went to BK to get Kids' Meals (Bill got two so he could get the General Grievous windup and the Boga stuffed critter.  I got one, so I could get the Princess Leia magic viewer.)  His actual reason was to borrow Epic Duels for the upcoming PFF meeting.  So, before he left we played a few rounds.  After all, I'll be at work during the meeting.

 

 

Sunday our hiking group wussed out and "hiked" PV Mall for a few laps, then went to breakfast at 5 & Diner.  Afterwards, I started cleaning up my place (just like the next day as above) before Mom came by.  We chatted for awhile, before heading to mass where I read the second reading of St Paul to the Romans. 

 

It was my first mass with our new associate pastor, Father Joy.  He's an interesting bird, having a long homily which sent mass over an hour, but then jetting as soon as possible after mass--not even stopping to greet folks as they left mass as is typical of the presiding priest at most churches in town.  He even seemed to try to put me off when I came to ask him about a change in mass protocol I had noticed. 

 

Wednesday after work Wayne and I met to discuss the event descriptions for Hogwarts Live Action 2.  We did a little, but we mostly discussed in depth our analyses of Revenege of the Sith. 

 

Saturday, Monte ran his Star Trek:  Feng Shui campaign for the first time in months.  We tried to talk the leader of the village out of abandonning his duties to the village to no avail.  Then, once Kitty's medical officer was able to get him to admit that he had Dr Sprint and Capt Maddox under his mental dominion, my security officer phaser stunned Sprint and ran back to the ship while the village leader was strapped in the machine meant to steal his powers.  Thus, we prevented his escaping his duties and rescued Sprint--the best of both worlds!

 

On our way back to Earth at maximum warp we were attacked by Borg, who tapped into our system and triggered our self destruct before fleeing.  Rusty's engineering officer was able to hack the computer and turn off the self destruct barely in the nick of time. 

 

Then we made characters for Rusty's new Talislanta campaign.  That should begin this upcoming Saturday. 

 

Well, it's late.  Besides, you should always leave them wanting more.
