my turn

The neighbors called yesterday evening to say that a bear was coming down the road towards us so we got the cats and goat in. Victor saw it again and shot at it but he missed and it took off. I tried calling Tristan but the phone thing said that calls to cell phones was barred so I sent him an email. He replied saying he'd call his friend.

For some reason today it's my back that hurts. *sigh* I don't even have a good explanation. I didn't work on the root cellar that hard. And that's about the only thing I did yesterday that could have hurt my back. It's just kinda funny cause Victor's back isn't hurting today. Finally. After nearly a week.

So they're re-releasing Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter. And I feel bad cause all the newbies will pick it up thinking, "Wow, cool, a Maul book, he's awesome!" like I did 9 years ago. *sigh* I wish I could warn them not to read it. Yes, buy it, but don't read it. I especially feel bad for the little kids who got suckered in through Clone Wars and don't even know the movies exist. Though maybe that's exactly why they're releasing it; to weed out the Clone Wars kids. They'll read it, go into a depression, and leave SW to the long-time fans who became fans through the movies, not some barely canon cartoon with artwork that they praise as being "new" when it hasn't been new for about 20-25 years. Anyway, Shadow Hunter is depressing and will make any reader want to throw the book into a wall and cry after reading it because it is just that depressing. It is stupid. It is pointless. Now, mind you, I love me some Darth Bane novels, and I see Kreia and Vergere as being good role models. But this book is just awful.

I should know better by now than to post that I will do something cause I never wind up doing it. We did not have baked ziti last night, we had taco casserole. Maybe I can do ziti today.

It's supposed to thunder storm today but so far this morning it's been fairly sunny.
