Gorgeous film. Sucky dialogue. I enjoyed it immensely, but wasn't able to get lost in it like I used to, or like I did in LOTR. Anakin is way too whiney to be the epitome of evil. Padme was beautiful. Obi Wan looked pretty dang good. Overall it was worth seeing, and I'd like to see it again, but it could have been so much better. One thing's for sure – it's good to know that it is all Jar Jar's fault. :)

1. Laying on your back and facing the ceiling, which side of the bed do you sleep on? The right side. 2. Do you have to have covers (blankets and/or sheets) at all costs, no matter the weather? For the most part. At a minimum, the sheet must be within reach. Also, no body parts can hang over the edge, and I feel better if my toes are covered. Monsters, you know. 3. Sleep nekkid or no? Why? Yep. Much more comfortable. When I was a child, it was pajamas. That turned into underwear and a loose t-shirt, which I…

Oooooh! We're going to see Star Wars EPII today!

Quotations of Theodore Roosevelt by The Theodore Roosevelt Association “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.” Contrast with: ” …they're reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do. –…

So, I've been on LiveJournal for a year today, and this is my 221st entry. I don't remember exactly how I found LJ. I stumbled into it from someone's web page, I'm sure, but I can't for the life of me remember who or why. I started reading some people, and meandering around the web of people that LJ is. Then I joined, and I'm still here. I've never been a “journaler”. I've wanted to be one of those people who put their thoughts and feelings on paper on a regular basis, but all I ever managed was less than…

That's all. Just “Bleh”. Carry on.

2 Girls Accused of Killing 16 Year Old NEW ORLEANS (AP) – A crowd of children and teen-agers attacked and killed a 16-year-old in front of her home Saturday, police said. Vinicia Smith was apparently killed in a neighborhood feud, said Sgt. Paul Accardo, a New Orleans police spokesman. He said two girls, aged 12 and 14, were booked as juveniles on second-degree murder charges. Police were looking for more boys and girls, he said. Seven to 10 people attacked Smith, and one stabbed her with a steak knife, Accardo said. Witnesses pointed out the 12-year-old, and the 14-year-old surrendered…

So Jake does something that seems to show some serious brains in that fuzzy doggy head. There's a long, narrow window right next to our front door. Jake will lie on the tile and look out the window. (That's not the smart part.) Now, if you go in our front door, there's a staircase a few feet and to the left. To get to our bedroom, you'd go upstairs, then left again down a very short hallway. In the bedroom is a huge floor to ceiling window, facing the same way as the front door. We leave the blinds partway…

Which monkey are you? You know your mind and don't take any bull. At your heart you are cynical, sarcastic and unique… and prone to pessimism. Don't shut out other people. Don't drown out what you don't want to hear with your own talk. Listen.

Paging TiVo makes customers an offer they can't refuse On Wednesday night, the BBC transmitted Dossa and Joe, a drama with an unexpected twist. Owners of TiVo personal video recorders found that their boxes recorded the show whether they programmed it in or not — and now it's there, the recording can't be erased for about a week. Dubbed a “must see” by the BBC, the corporation arranged with TiVo to send the recording command to all registered boxes. They pick up programme information by modem over the Internet, and the command was embedded in the schedules.
