Crazy Monkey Sex
So my little sister's school was evacuated today. Why? Some kid brought a fire cracker to school with him. He, allegedly in all seriousness, claimed it was a bomb, and so...evacuation.
The sad thing is, if some one actually brought a bomb to school, they'd probably pick that day to not give a shit. Such is the nature of THE BOARD.


I finally got my hands on the Star Wars DVD box set the other day. I hadn't watched any of the trilogy in a few years, since watching VHS tapes kind of sucks royally (Godel is picky about picture quality.), so it was only yesterday that I noticed for the first time that Luke has a hot ass.
Such things aside, the picture quality was stunning. It's simply astounding how improved it is; you could easily mistake it for footage taken recently, if you weren't familiar with the franchise [which would be total fucking blasphemy]. All the close-ups were spot-free and the blur-levels were, well, pretty much not there. Like I said: STUNNING.
One of my favourite scenes is the one in which the Emperor says, "We believe he is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker." Vader's response is simply golden. "How is that possible?" Despite the mask, you can just see the WTF?! written across his face.
It's so different an experience when you're familiar with every plot-twist. Ass-backwardsly, I get more out of it, especially in scenes akin to the one where Leia kisses Luke in front of Han. Or when Luke starts crying like a sissy little girl after Vader cuts off his hand.
"Noooooooooooooooo!!!"
That said, I'm probably one of very few people who prefers Luke to Han Solo. The only other I know of is a friend of mine who you'd never guess loved Star Wars as much as she does. Then again, not many people realize I love Star Wars as much as I do.
There's something about Luke that's just...appealing. He's lovable. Maybe it's because of his boyish looks and whiney voice or the fact that he's such a fearless dumbass. Probably a combination of both.
Mentioning the word "dumbass", I'm reminded of the effect watching all of season one of That 70's Show in a week can have on the human mind. I was half expecting Vader to end his monologue with a simple, "Dumbass." Maybe even, "Luke, you're a dumbass."

And, yet, I haven't seen Episode III. I was going to over the weekend, but got stuck going to the zoo, instead, where I saw lots of bored animals and some things I'd rather not have.
Like when my sister actually yelled, at the top of her lungs, "Look, mommy! That monkey's climbing on top of the other one." It's the kind of thing that happens in sitcoms and comic-strips, not IRL.

But damn was it funny.
