I just got back from two hours of Christmas Pageant rehearsal at my church. Lots and lots of fun.... (can you sense my sarcasm?)
So did y'all hear the title of the 7th Harry Potter book? "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"... Sounds pretty interesting. Any book with "death" in the title sounds fun (hahaha). But there was an interesting thing on Mugglenet: there was a part in OOTP where there was a smashed prophecy that said, "at the solstice will coem a new... and none will come after..." and the last title of the last HP book was released on the winter solstice... yeah, that was pretty cool.
So it seems that as I'm getting older, Christmas seems to come faster. I mean, it used to be that every day I'd be so excited to put the little ornament on the little wall hanging that has a felt ornament for every day of December to put on a felt tree. But now... I don't know. It's just hard to believe that it's "Christmas Eve Eve." And I wish it was snowing instead of raining. It's sad how people lose Christmas spirit as they get older =( Maybe I need to go wrap some presents or something.
I realized that as cheesy as Star Wars Attack of the Clones is, there is one heck of a lot of foreshadowing in it. Some of my favorite bits are when Count Dooku takes the plans of the Death Star to give to Darth Sidious and when Anakin is being all angsty and says to Padme "One day I will be the most powerful Jedi ever! I will even learn how to stop people from dying." But the best part is when Anakin and Padme are at the farm place on Tatooine and R2 comes over and Anakin and Padme are like, "What are you doing here?" and 3PO says, "He seems to be carrying a message from an Obi-Wan Kenobi." (It's foreshadowing because in A New Hope R2 is also carrying a message from Obi-Wan and C-3PO relays the information to Luke). There's also when Obi-Wan camoflauges himself on an asteroid, and in Empire Strikes Back, Han camoflauges the Millennium Falcon on a Star Destroyer (and Boba Fett knows of this ploy... Hmm...)
Yes, I /know/ I'm a geek. Get over it.
