it was as if a thousand voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced
Things I have accomplished today:
+ Wrote about 1,500 words. Am now up to 13,175 words.
+ Went shopping for some new school clothes and a few school supplies
+ Made 5 new Star Wars original trilogy icons.
+ Went through my "Created Icons" folder, deleting the ugly/not good icons and renaming most of my remaining icons
+ Started making a DVD for viewing at the next Super Six gathering. Figured out how to export videos from Nero Vision Essentials so that I can use them on Sonic MyDVD, the only DVD-burning program I have that actually works.
I've also realized the complete and total awesomeness of A New Hope. I think it's mostly because of Han Solo's similarity to Sawyer from Lost. They're alike in a lot of ways: at some points I'm half-expecting Han to call Leia "Freckles"... and then I realize that she's not Kate, because Leia > Kate. And it is fricking awesome to watch ANH with the knowledge of the prequel trilogy and that Darth Vader is Luke & Leia's father. I also love how Revenge of the Sith did such a good job with making Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan look incredibly similar to a younger version of Alec Guiness's Obi-Wan. But Luke's interest in Leia makes me squick - I guess I can't really blame him because he doesn't know that she's his twin sister. But still, almost-twincest is still icky.
Also, a general rule when it comes to playing Monopoly: even if you have a crapload of money and a couple of monopolies, if your one remaining opponent has bankrupted the other players, therefore gaining their properties, you are going to lose. It doesn't matter how much money you have. You will lose. Even if you are Darth Vader.
