Friday I was feeling tired, so I made myself 2 full cups of iced tea. That was a mistake. By 3 AM, I started feeling tired, and finally made it into bed by 4.
Only to be awoken at 8:30 by the fine people at DirecTV, installing a dish at my next door neighbor. If it wasn’t for me thinking about switching to them soon, I’d write them such a letter…
Once awake (though Jill slept through the banging), I did cleaning (dusted and mopped for the first time in months), followed by errands, followed by 7.5 hours of Star Wars. I had a bunch of friends over at various times (7 at the beginning of Clone Wars), and a pile of food. I think I’m getting used to Episode One – Jar Jar doesn’t bother me as much as he used to. I was shocked how little I remembered of Episode Two, and aside from the acting in the love scenes, liked it quite a bit. Clone Wars rocks, though. Great fights and well done animation – I’m looking forward to more. I was wiped out by the time we finished (and the only one there for the whole thing).
Sunday I had to get up early to do a walkthrough for the HOA. I was going to go to some library booksales, but decided it was too nice a day to do much, so read Saturday and Sunday’s Post, then some Star Wars comics (I’m getting a huge eBay auction together). Jill had worked, and woke up in time for us to go over to Ron and Susan’s, (former coworkers) for dinner. It was fun, but we didn’t get back until after 10, and we were both pretty wiped, went to bed soon.
I didn’t get the chance to see Hitchhiker’s, and have read enough reviews now that I’m not sure if I’ll see it in the theater. Probably will.
You might as well. Chris and I saw it on Friday night. It wasn’t as vivid or funny as had I hoped it would be, but it wasn’t a *bad* film. In fact, I can’t quite pin-point what I didn’t like about it. And maybe that’s the problem. It was wishy-washy and tried to be too…cute? I dunno. Just go see it. And tell me what you think.
