Musings on life … and veterans
It’s a weekend for closure after Ray’s crossing, and I think I’ve pretty much settled things in my own head. Let me warn you that this is a long post — at least for me — and that unlike most entries, it’s very personal. I’m recording it here only because I don’t keep a journal; [...]
The blog is complete: The Darth Side
I’m still kind of reeling here, trying to finish funeral arrangements, but I took a break and found that The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster has come to the end of its run. I don’t usually gush about blogs, but I have to gush about this one. It’s basically the first three Star Wars [...]
A sad day
I’m sad to report that this morning, at 4:58 am, Sarah’s dad, Ray, passed away. He went calmly, in his sleep. We miss him already.
One more reason to see SW:ROTS in digital
Unlike Episode II, I didn’t see anything obvious in the digital version of Episode III that was different from the film version, but there’s one reason to see it digitally: the trailers. The very first trailer, not on the film version, was the first trailer for the Firefly movie, Serenity. Absolutely stunning. I’m hoping the [...]
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Now that I’ve had time to sit and think, I’m ready to talk about this film. The short version: yipee, yipee, yipee, it doesn’t suck!!! In fact, it’s excellent. Wonderful. And most importantly… Fulfilling. Yes, Episode III has actually managed to give me closure on this part of my life. For those non-fans among you, [...]
It SO does NOT suck!!!
Just got home from the theater and I can say with absolute joy that Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith does not suck. In fact, it’s wonderful!!! Gotta get up early — Wolf has a doctor’s appointment for the severed tendon in his hand (long story) so I’m off to bed. A complete [...]
One more day…
Well, I’ve got my tickets — went and picked them up at the theater a couple of days ago — and I’m ready. I’ve finally managed to get excited, instead of nervous. Keeping my fingers crossed… Technorati tags: Star Wars | StarWars | ROTS | Revenge of the Sith | Episode III | Darth Tater
Honest to goodness affiliate income
I do have a few affiliate links on my site, but I’m not a marketer, and I don’t really emphasise them much. So I was really surprised to get an email yesterday evening from the person who runs Write A Book Now, a program that shows you how to write a book in 14 days. [...]
So close!!!
Well, officially, it’s Tuesday. And I’m going to see Star Wars tomorrow night, at the midnight show, so I guess I can actually say, “It’s tomorrow!!!” Please don’t let it suck…
One more Foxtrot
One more Foxtrot Star Wars cartoon, which is particularly appropriate for me at this time… Technorati tags: StarWars | Star Wars | ROTS | Foxtrot | humor | humour | comics
