Well, the junk first of all: If you went to movies a lot in the '80s, like we did, this is a stupendously easy quiz. (A 50-question quiz that 11% of people get 100% right can't be too difficult, after all.) (I did have to guess on a couple, but they don't even make guessing terribly hard. I am kinda the queen of the educated guess ( Read more... )

Actually, I've been watching stuff on YouTube about Rogue One off and on all night, but the last thing I watched was about The Force Awakens, and it's awfully good.

It's not a series I was aware of before, I may be watching the Fury Road one next ( Read more... )

It's Christmas, as far as I'm concerned. We're even having Chinese food afterwards.

(We work til 9:30 on Friday so that left a tight window to go to any movie then. We just got the tickets for 7:00 Saturday instead.)

I don't think I mentioned that I actually read the Rogue One "prequel" book that came out a month or so ago. It's called Catalyst. ( Read more... )

This came from here (it's a "friending meme") but I'm not exactly participating in that part. I mean, anybody who wants to is welcome to friend me but I only make periodic appearances here at LJ these days.

Short version: I saw The Force Awakens. I loved it.

Aaaand the long version better be under a cut, I guess, because SPOILERS.

( (I guess you can still do an LJ-cut. I haven't tried it lately!) )

(I had to hunt through my collection of icons to find something Star Wars related - that one is a Buffy quote but it's obviously germane. The only other one I saw was an old NaBloPoMo one with a picture of Yoda, which I'll probably end up trotting out before the end of the month, too ( Read more... )

I felt like the 70s should have an Eagles entry for Music Advent (just like I felt like the 60s should have a Beatles entry) and Hotel California was the Eagles album that was a huge thing in 1977 (although I think it was officially released in '76). I didn't especially want to be so obvious as to pick "Hotel California" the song, so instead I ( Read more... )

I have just come from the end-of-the-world party (that's what they were calling it) at the SWTOR beta. That's Star Wars: The Old Republic, for those of you who don't follow such things. I played right up til about 20 minutes to go, and then I went to the skill trainer. For no good reason except that I wanted to see what the new skills were, really ( Read more... )
