lumy12With less than a week to go ('til Friday 3/27!), here are my updated Star Wars Marathon rules (I added one that I realized had been a rule "in my head" all along but had never been listed here) - written as if someone else besides me has to obey them. (hey, it happened once! And I cut her some slack). How cool it is that spending a whole day "doing nothing" will result in me getting to cross something off my 101 things list.
1) Don't watch ANY of the movies for at least one month prior to the marathon, preferably two.
2) A day off from work must be taken to do this! Preferably a Friday.
3) The first movie (The Phantom Menace) starts at (or earlier than) 7:00am, possibly can be delayed 'til 7:30 but ABSOLUTELY NO LATER THAN THAT. Just because.
4) Bathroom breaks between movies only. Yes, I realize there's a pause button, or that you might be willing to miss a few minutes to go relieve yourself, but still. Shouldn't have to do that.
5) Snacking/eating during the movies is fine, but no stopping in between movies to go get food. Just easy, microwave stuff.
6) No phone calls/texts. Cell phones turned off, ringer turned off on house phone. No checking/returning messages between movies either. The world will survive without your presence for one day!
7) Petting cats is allowed, as they tend to get whiny if they want attention and you ignore them. But you should try to get the cat to watch the movie with you rather than play.
8) Moving around during the movies is not only allowed, but highly encouraged. DOZING OFF = BAD. (This year, I'm skipping the Clone Wars dvds, since they're obsolete now anyway...so I won't have QUITE as much time sitting on my ass.)
9) No talking during the emo parts, including the pre-emo or buildup-to-emo parts. Only crying is allowed.
10) No interwebz. Full attention paid to the movies.

So I finally have an appointment to get my gimp hand looked at. Gee, it only took 2 months for me to get around to that. Go me!
Also, someone needs to drill it into my head that just because a label is removed from something, the thing itself remains unchanged.
