What Would Jacen Do

As promised here's my Clone Wars thoughts:

On the Satine episodes, me and Victor agree that at the part where Obi-Wan admits he loved her it was only because she was giving him a look that said, "If you don't say what I want you to say I will kill you. I don't care if it's a lie, I want to hear it!"

I think it's amusing how they took Padme, a character who's already something of a blank sheet, and turned her into an even bigger nothing. She's like comedic relief or something. Always popping up, "Save the animals!" or "Ban guns!" I'm surprised she hasn't gone on a campaign to eliminate everything that's not organic.

I know I've heard of zillo beasts before but after scouring the internet the only mention I can find comes from Clone Wars. But I know I've heard of them, cause it pings something in the back of my mind. KOTOR, maybe? Anyway, it's clearly Force Sensitive and all the Jedi were just being stupid. Dunno what Yoda was expecting to accomplish by running around on it doing nothing. And for as big a group of Jedi as were present no one tried calming it with the Force, which I thought rather odd. That would have been Jacen Solo's first thought, if he were there somehow he'd just look at everyone like they were retarded and go, "Master Yoda, how did Luke ever raise to the levels he did with YOU as a teacher?" Then he would calm the zillo beast, and it would lower it's head so he could sit upon it's back and he would ride it to a ship that would take it to an unpopulated planet where it could roam free, and because of this connection he would retain an ally he could fall back upon at some later point in time if need be. Meanwhile half the Jedi Council order the clonetroopers to fire upon it as if the first few thousand times didn't already prove that didn't do anything. In fact, wasn't that why they brought it in to be studied was because it's scales were laser-proof? So why fire at it if they already know it won't work? I thought Anakin at least would try to calm it with the Force, being Jacen's grandpa and already haven shown he has at least a slight ability with animals.

I hated the ripoff episode with the bounty hunters and the farm. As if Star Wars is just a joke, another tv series that has AU episodes where they spoof something else. SW does not spoof. I just want to sadly shake my head and stand upon a mountain top and shout, "I told you so!" and it would ring hollow, for there would be no victory in my tone, just sadness. Stop the madness now before it's too late. Season 3 looks to be enough to counter the movies and make the movies not canon anymore.

Anyway, sometimes men just don't see anything and you can drop hints and clues galore and they'll be just as clueless as before. Hinted and hinted that I had a certain entry in my journal I wanted him to see and even asked if he was mad at me. Nothing. He hasn't even followed up on why I might think he might be mad at me. I maybe should just link him to it. I've been lazy at printing and only have about 80 entries printed. But, still. I'm getting there. I realized that it's backwards, that to read it starting at the first entry you have to read down to up and right to left. Someday I'll switch it around and put it all in one file so you read the proper way, but for now it's fine. I just want to have the hard backup of it printed out.

I should do this with my journals. I have one that's been going since February 2002. That's 3,196 entries. eek. That will take forever. At least with my journal I have a client that will archive them on my computer for me so I don't have to recode the whole page. But I dunno, I kinda like how Victor's came out. Maybe I will go ahead and recode the whole thing and switch it around so it reads proper instead of backwards. hmm... I could have downloaded a client for Victor's too but I couldn't guess his password. What I did worked out well enough though. I do kinda still want to get into his account to see if there's any private entries, cause I'm not signed up on that site so all I'm seeing are his public entries. There might even be friends only ones I can't see. Now I simply must let him know what I've done so I can get in and see if there's private ones! He probably won't let me, though. *pout*


We played Burnout Paradise for a little bit last night but Victor had lost all his cars and had to restart and wasn't having a lot of fun trying to play with me and my superior cars so we left online play and just played offline separately. The game is a ton of fun but I have a few complaints. One is that if you mess up a race, say you're in first place and out of nowhere a bus runs into you which spins you around and then another car runs into you which sends you off on a side-road and you get a Drive-Away instead of a Wrecked and you're facing the wrong way to get back on the right road and your car's all crushed up and can't drive as well. But the starting line is on the other side of the map and there's no restart button. The other complaint is that it takes forever to wreck. You get a 10-15 second wreck cinema each time. ugh

The weather lately had been nice, almost balmy out. With highs in the 40s it felt like spring had sprung. A lot of the snow was melting and even the packed down ice was chipping away. Yesterday morning when I went to work it was raining. The rain turned to snow throughout the day. Large fluffy flakes. Oh, well.

I messed up the pumper of my new hand lotion. I must see about replacing it with the one from my old one. My old one was coca butter my new one is oatmeal. Suave brand, from Wal-Mart. My old one isn't entirely used up yet, though, but yesterday I didn't feel like scraping the sides of the bottom or something. I heard of someone who cuts their bottles in half so the pumper can scrape the sides for them. I might do that. Not sure, that might just dry out the rest of the lotion. I'll figure something out.

Well, it's time to let the cats out, Foxy's being kinda whiny. And it's time to shower, it's hair washing day. I've decided that instead of washing on every fourth day I'm going to do it on every third day because it's just too greasy by the fourth day and I look so ugly. Every third day is working out pretty well, though.
