Man, I'm getting tired....
Whew! Packing is tiring. It's been awhile since I've had to move everything I surround myself with on a daily basis. I have to throw so much away; it feels so wasteful. And I feel like I've packed up SO much but since I have to move a lot of things around and lay out stuff to get organized, I look around and it feels like there's still so much STUFF to deal with. It's a pain, and I only have one more full day. But I will get it done and it'll feel all the much better getting home and being able to relax for awhile knowing I finished up with all this stuff.
I finally saw Star Wars episode III this weekend, and I've since become a total Star Wars geek. I didn't even particularly like the movie itself (I thought Anakin's transition to the dark side was too abrupt and unbelievable; he didn't have enough doubt about the goodness of the Jedis or attraction to the powers of the dark side before he was just like "Yes, dark lord, I'll do anything you want.") but now that I've seen all six I was just thinking about the chronology and order of it all and I couldn't remember what happened in which movies, so I had to look up summaries/chronologies, and then you get to that point and there's links to character descriptions, specific events, movie inconsistencies, etc... And I just ate it all up. I've never been a sci-fi geek by any means; I mean, I've always liked the movies (maybe not so much the new ones) and the fact that my brother definitely was and watched the movies aplenty and even had the original toys (which he got rid of before they became collector's items... sigh) so I was definitely exposed to it a lot, but I've never been obsessive like he was. So I've quit all my scouring the internet, but I'm going to watch the original trilogy again this summer to remind myself (my memory sucks so bad at twenty, I can't imagine how I'll be in my sixties) and then I can lay this current little obsession to rest. Wee!
And back to Buffy! I have really not been very fandom-active lately; I've barely been reading. And I've had a little ficlet idea in my head recently but have been totally uninspired to actually get it written even though I can see it all in my head. Ugh, hopefully it's because of the stress of finishing up here and it won't last.
