Generation X Wing



Watched "Revenge of the Sith" last night. Not sure if it is my mood this week but I disliked it. This coming from a sworn Star Wars fan club member. I hate how Lucas made Padme such a withering frail creature in this flick. He starts out with his females being so strong then softens them too much by the end. Leia was almost the same near end of Jedi but not nearly as much as Padme looking out on the patio the entire movie. Something bugged me about Ewan's performance last night too...His scences with Anakin never made me feel the bond they supposedly had. Like I said, maybe my mood but I just didn't enjoy it on my third time seeing it.
It's Friday, the salute to Matt is because he is playing in Vancouver tonite and tomorrow. Sadly not going but I will see him again, I'm sure. Sounds like the weather is horrible in BC anyway so maybe it is best.
Been thinking about TO for some reason, mainly for Bay Window reasons plus Karen gave me a TO book last week. I really want to find those travel tapes. I heard "Not in Love" - Plat and "Tell no Lies" - The Spoons today so they both make me think of TO too. I think Nina and I went in search of the old City Hall where Plat filmed that huge concert that broke them. I need her to confirm but I think that is when her and I almost got locked in the subway as they shut down around 2am. Bad full memory on this but I think we were looking for the city hall area. I also looked up flights to NS again yesterday and it had an overnight layover in TO...long enough to do some record shopping???!!! I'd love to go to thet Sam's again! Or find Bill Wood??
Random thoughts:
Hate that the hoilday season is approaching, I can almost feel the tense family situations brewing already. Dan wants to go to Dunes for T-day, hearing his parents don't want to..I can't go anywhere until Thursday because I have few vacation days left.
I did work before I blogged, I just want that in print.
Commercial about the Hip boxset on the radio right now.
Dan wants me to get my own quad tonight. I must be strong and say no. I will post a picture of it next week. (that was a joke, but we know it's true)
I haven't wrote much this week, kinda in one of my writing funks again, not confident, not sure where I am going, threw myself off track last time. So many emotions for something that will probably just rot in my closet.
Had lunch yesterday with the Get Out crew, great to see them. Was fun working there for the short time I did! I am not a journalist, but I work for a bunch of them! ;)
