• 31 day star wars challenge, day 5: in which I have a least favorite main character …

    Sigh, I wanted to love Padme Amidala. I mean, come on, she’s the democratically-elected queen (I don’t think “queen” means the same thing in my head as it does in George Lucas’, but whatever, moot point) of a gorgeous garden planet that ends an invasion of her home and then becomes a senator in the…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 4: in which I have a favorite main character …

    Obligatory May the Fourth Be With You! And yes, that statement is exactly why I am doing this challenge this month. Anyway, for anyone who knows me, my answer to today’s challenge is not going to be any sort of surprise. It’s the character with whom I identified starting as a kid and especially now,…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 3: in which I have a least favorite movie …

    Oh, yay, another easy day for me! Without a doubt, Attack of the Clones is the one Star Wars movie that I usually just kind of keep in the background when I’m doing a series marathon. I’ll probably start cleaning – including vacuuming – or doing something random, like organizing my makeup or skincare collection,…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 2: in which I have a favorite movie …

    I don’t think it will be a surprise that The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite of the entire series of movies because I’m not the only one who holds that opinion. It’s the best-directed (may your memory be a blessing, Irvin Kershner), has some of the best performances from the entire cast, has a…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 1

    I don’t ever remember Star Wars not being a part of my life. From as early as I can remember, my dad and I would curl up on the couch to watch the original trilogy when it came on TV – well before VHS tapes and DVDs were a thing – and I was transfixed…

    Today is my last day at my current job. It’s slightly bittersweet: the work is, for the most part, enjoyable, and since I work from home, I don’t really have to deal with the coworkers that annoy the hell out of me just by opening their mouths. My relationship with my direct supervisor is a…

    31 day challenge

    For reasons? Honestly, I almost forgot I was doing a challenge until today because I got a reminder alert from my Google calendar and was like, “Oh. Whoops.” I guess that’s how my life is going to be for the next 16 months? Anyway, I’m doing a Star Wars challenge, starting May 1, and it’ll…

    And I’m now officially vaccinated … well, once I hit two weeks after the final dose, I will be completely vaccinated against stupid Covid. So this is going to be Part 2 of the three-part Dance Dance Party Party “on rotation …” series, I suppose. Also, just as a forewarning, this is a very weird…

    A bit of background about me and my immune system: I have a very … overprotective immune system. My body has a scorched earth policy when it comes to antigens, so when I get, say, the common cold, it’s basically like I have the plague. When I get the flu? Oh, I’m out for two…

    Busy week for this girl – Camp NaNo, school, work, getting ready for full-time school attendance, sleep, gardening, parenting kitties (they are being so extra right now), trying to keep active, four or five other projects that I may or may not come to anything, getting and recovering from my second dose of the Pfizer…
