and at home i read and wait.

I don't know what arcane power it is that Star Wars has over me, but every now and then I just can't resist tuning in for Spike's weekend marathons. And I can't bear to turn it off before the "DEMOCRACY!" fight, either, because it is just so hilarious. /o\ Plus, I am always unbelievably tempted to buy the movie novelizations after I watch the prequels, just because I think they'd be the best kind of cheesetastic. (I read part of the AotC novelization, and, my hand to god, the first scene I idly flipped to had the phrase "chocolate orbs" in it. It was beautiful.) There's such a weird push-pull, for me; parts of the universe are genuinely interesting and compelling, but the prequel canon is so ... bad, in an amusing, at-least-all-these-people-are-hot kind of way.

And, bonus, they make me think of iharthdarth every time. ("i love you like i'm blind." "what?")

ETA: Of course, there is also no misogynistic bullshit quite like the misogynistic bullshit in the ads that air on Spike. Here's a big fuck you right back atcha, beer commercials.
