I'm still hopelessly obsessed with Star Wars. And my bro, bless his soul, has fed this obsession by purchasing the Revenge of the Sith video game! Woohoo! We played it last night and I sure did a good job of making Anakin look like a yutz.

I'm used to my Gameboy Advance and its limited buttons. PS2 has like 5 times as many buttons. My basic strategy is to just hit a bunch of buttons and hope they make me do cool stuff. But I'm sure I'll get better with practice, and perhaps studying the more complicated moves a bit. The game has a duel option too so you can practice your fighting SKILLZ against the computer or another player.

Alas, A. is here so I didn't get to see the movie again this weekend. I did watch the bonus dvd that comes with the soundtrack again (it's really cool! It's a "musical journey" through all 6 movies). What the hell is wrong with me??? I mean, this is fun and all, but a normal girl would not be lamenting the fact that her bf's in town because it keeps her from seeing a damn movie she's already seen 4 times. What a psycho.

I know I owe some of you people emails too - I have been neglecting my email again... and now it's a daunting task going through my inbox.... but I will get to you eventually, I promise! Bear with me. This phase can't last forever.

I am more focused on getting necessary things done than I was a couple weeks ago, so that's good. It's Avon week so I won't have time to play the game very much :( but it's not going anywhere, I'll just remind myself of that. And I'll see SW again on Friday night unless I need to do deliveries (will try to avoid that).

My head is bowed in shame...

I admit I haven't even seen the film once yet. Yes, I suck.

Well I hope all my hype doesn't ruin it for you - a friend of mine was disappointed after I had built it up so much! But most people at least admit that it's the best of the 3 new ones.

Go see it! NERDS UNITE!!!!!!!

Did you ever got proficient with all those buttons??? I have managed to avoid all video games, as you know, despite my nephew's valiant attempts to get me addicted.

I got better, but I don't play it often enough to be really good with them. I kinda want to play right now but I think that's because my brain knows I CAN'T because he actually took the PS2 back over to his place, and no way am I goin' over there again, he'll kill me! (holy run-on sentence, Batman)

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Whenever I write a run-on sentence these days I consider it practice for the SW 1 sentence comm. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Me toooooooo - I actually THOUGHT about starting that the other day, but didn't. I still wish someone else would post theirs first.

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The problem is it needs to be COMPLETE before it's posted. You can't just post to a prompt, like you can in the other challenges.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Which I understand, because you don't want a bunch of posts containing only one sentence. (I GUESS that would be bad?) But it also means there's like... NOTHING getting posted. Is anyone working on their claims or have people forgotten about it?

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

I haven't FORGOTTEN, but I haven't WORKED on it all either.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Same here. I've stared at the prompts a bit.

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

*nods* that is about all I've done with it too.
