Star Wars Day
It would be remiss of me not to mention that today is the 30th anniversary of the release of the original only Star Wars trilogy.
You might have spotted the link Korova put in a comment on a previous post, but the web page is so good it deserves a mention here- The Star Wars toys that never made it.
I can't help but think that there is probably a bigger market for the 'Dead Ewok' figure than they realise.
I also think that if anyone had ever suggested these toys to the toy company they would have been made. Let's face it if they released a toy of that gonk droid they would release anything.
If today is Star Wars' birthday then appropriately that means the film would be a Gemini.
A quick look for it's hororscope on yahoo reveals:
"Today, 'action!' is your motto. When in doubt, just do." Which already sounds like yoda is keeping his hand in by writing these things.
It goes on to say-
"Think of your life as a good book. Sometimes there are twists and turns you didn't see coming (What do you mean she's my sister? $h!t. This is more embarrasing than finding out who my dad was), but when you think about it, you realize they were pretty much inevitable (*coff*crap prequels *coff*)."
Maybe there is something in this after all...

Back again.
Contrary to popular belief (or maybe just Hageltoast spreading cruel rumours) I haven't been out and about having a life. In fact I'm not even sure what those look like anymore.
I've actually been hard at work trying to write a script for a comic that I now have to convince a friend of mine to draw.
I had this great first issue planned out, introducing a couple of the heroes, a recurring villian, fights, car chases, action, romance, danger, badgers. The works.
Eventually I had to face up to the reality that If I want to write a comic script I have only got 22 pages to work with so I was going to have to cut something out. A lot out in fact.
Then I had to face up to the fact that a comic just about badgers probably wouldn't be as popular as I may have first thought, so I went back to the original idea about superheroes and actually managed to come up with something I was quite happy with.
The story now just concentrates on the two main characters, making it much easier to follow. Now I shall have to get it typed up over the weekend so I can make a start on issue 2.
My bad news for this week came in the form of the bill for my cars service and MOT. I won't tell you how much it was, but let's just say I was glad I was sat down when they handed it to me.
In spite of now being overdrawn I have to say that the car is handling better than it has done for a while. I just have to be careful when I brake as the car stops immediately, meaning I keep stopping before I have actually made it to where I need to be.
It also smells lovely. I know that's not a particularly manly thing to discuss about a car and I should probably be prattling on about horsepower, engine size, miles to the gallon and other such things I don't have a clue about. All I am concerned about is how nice it is to be able to get in to a car that smells of peaches, rather than nappies.
Unless of course, the children have dropped a peach somewhere under a seat which is going to go off any day now.
My good news for the week is that today the post brought my tickets for The Tragically Hip gig that is coming up in September. I never expected to get a chance to see this band so I am really looking forward to this. They have never really had (or pursued) success outside of their native Canada and seem to have been content to be the biggest small town band in the world. I will have to write more about them in a later post.
For now I shall leave you with this video Xulub emailed to me.
His only comment was-
'Inevitable really.'

Adult Alternative
I seem to have stirred up a bit of controversy with the music quiz I took below by getting 'adult alternative' as one of my results.
If most films have soundtracks now, then why not porn films?
