Dream Theater

It's been a pretty good, if extremely introverted, weekend.  Started reading Red Harvest.  Worked out some of the history for my Star Wars character.  Watched rather a lot of Star Wars on Spike.  Flew a couple of Ace Combat missions.  Started looking into replacing this ThinkPad with a netbook of some stripe.  Received my work order for a Spycraft project, and have identified some useful resources for it.

Know what I didn't do, though?  Shopping, except for groceries.

Why don't you get an ibook, macbook, whatever? :-P

Just picking on ya. I like the size of the little Eee computers but not sure of the keyboard, I'd have to try one out. We recently got a Toshiba laptop on Newegg that's both light and have a decent keyboard. Now if I can only get it away from Becki for a few hours. :)

p.s. 95% of Christmas shopping is DONE!!!! Black Friday rocks, even if what we bought wasn't discounted much.

Weight, pure and simple. And the ultralight Macbook Air is way too little machine for the asking price.

This ThinkPad is a great machine, but it's noticeably heavier than my Toshiba was.

Red Harvest


Is it bad that my first thought was that this was the decoy working title for Revenge of the Sith or something? ^_^

*laughs* No. No, it's not, and now I'm going to be grinning about that all day.

A hard-boiled Jedi detective decides to turn the opposing criminal forces on a backwater world against one another, playing all sides for suckers.

I'd love to see a TV show or something exploring different genres in a Star Wars context. I once had the idea for a cop show. I suppose budget would be a problem...

I'd be all over that. 4-6 episode arcs telling self-contained stories, something along those lines.

Probably be expensive as all get-out, yeah.

Well, will you look at that.

For this, I'll become an HBO subscriber.

Word.

Oh - forgot to ask - did you and the Mrs. get out of Chicago okay?

[metallian.livejournal.com]

Yes, we did, thanks. We left the next morning after rush hour and the roads were perfectly fine by then. I think I made my best time ever between the two cities.
