Call Me A Total Geek, But I Gave In to Friday Exhaustion and Watched the Original 3 Star War Movies, Giggling at the Storyline in the Sequence (But Thrilled, Nonetheless)

My brain was incapable of doing anything else intellectual and after the first week of a new semester, I was feeling the winter session beat-down. It's cold, so I curled up on the couch, remembered my R2D2 lamp my mom made me in ceramics, and the space ship I used to keep in my room.

This is the 2nd time I've watched the sequence in order and, after last night, I'll just need another weekend to finish the sequence. I'm watching them on Disney so I don't have to deal with the commercials when they rerun them on this or that cable station. 

Are they dumb? Well, the old ones were not as effective, but the first in the series with Jar Jar Banks is simply ridiculous. But I do love the force, the premise, and the sequence of time and good vs. evil. 

It seems we live much of this in today's world as nations unravel and false prophets are worshipped in the way that Vader had his empire. Awe, Anakin...you were such a cool little kid with your races and all. 

Not sure what I'll do with the rest of the weekend but rest and pick up items I desperately need in the house: milk, a loaf of bread, and a stick of butter. Plus paper towels and coffee. I need them, too. 

This wasn't my light up ship, but it might have been a different style of painting of a joy that mom's found during the age of ceramics.

Oh, man, this aging thing is something, especially when you get tired in ways that you never did before.
