and the kitty cats yell at clouds

[donutsweeper]

I've been meaning to post for absolutely ages but somehow never get around to it and I finally decided today that that's going to change. So voilà! A post!

We finally saw Star Wars this weekend! I somehow managed to remain mostly unspoiled, but it didn't matter much as nothing seemed shocking or surprising to me. Kid liked the movie, Hubby *hated* it (he will rant for hours and hours as to why, it's hilarious) and I walked away thinking the two hours were enjoyably enough spent but that was it. I'm not going to harsh anyone's squee (I hate people who do that) but I will say I am starting to get frustrated by JJ Abrams' friendship with Greg Grunberg- his popping up in everything JJ Abrams directs is starting to get distracting. (I know it's a time honored tradition and Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell do it all time time, but still...)

It's been insanely warm here. The snow cover is completely gone and we've even had the windows open a bunch- it hit 68°F yesterday!! The average temp should be about 35°. (That's 20°C instead of 1.66 if the F to C conversion chart is to be believed). The cats are, not surprisingly, loving it. Open windows FTW!!!

How's everyone on my flist doing?

Han calls out "BEN!" to get his attention on the catwalk. Yeah, the whole "our son" pronoun game was so weird to me. If you only have one child, can't you just say his name or our child or whatever...but then The X-Files did the same thing for season ten so...whatever.

Yes, 7 needed a lot more explanations of...everything. The characters were too mysterious.

But I am going to correct you that Luke's reunion was with his childhood friend, Biggs Darklighter from the deleted scene, not Wedge Antilles.

Twin Ion Engine...I'm more of a biological science/DNA girl so yeah, I don't know what that actually means...what did Luke take to get down to the moon of Endor? I can't remember now.

And I couldn't resist putting this since you said you were tired of Greg Grunberg, lol

*facepalms* Biggs, not Wedge. Right.

lol. that's an amazing number of dick jokes there

There's also a Greg Grunberg cameo, lol.

I do wish they would have Denis Lawson appear in one of the other films...they should take advantage of everyone still living while they can, right?

Plus, I always loved how, in real life, Wedge is young Obi-Wan's uncle.
