K...if you haven't seen Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith yet, (and there is no excuse for this by the way. It's been out for 18 hours now! Go...see it you must. Only then, a Jedi will you be.) do not go any further. This is my blog so I'm gonna talk all about it, because I want to. So, if something gets ruined for you, it's your own fault. I saw it at 12:01 am this morning, and it was AMAZING!!! The Star Wars movies are always great to see opening night, but this had an energy all it's own. I suppose it's because now we've come to the end of this great story that everyone has grown up with. I can't say enough how incredible this movie was. It was everything I wanted it to be. I cried for the last half, seeing Anakin slip away and change into Darth Vader who is more evil then we even knew before. I can't believe he killed the younglings!!! I couldn't help but think...no, anakin! Fight! don't do it! Don't go the dark side...fight it! Poor Anakin. Now I understand why he changed, and why he had to. It was so emotional for me. However, what was not emotional for me was all the lightsaber battles going on in the theatre during the 4 hours we sat in there before the movie started. Don't get me wrong, as a Star Wars nerd fan myself, I love their enthusiasm! However, when 400 people are constantly going in and out of the theatre for 4 hours.....do you think you could maybe NOT HAVE YOUR DUEL IN FRONT OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE DOORS!!!???? Seriously! Everytime I went out to go pee or to smoke a cigarette I felt like I was in the movie. Dodging lightsabers, jedis and Vaders left and right. At one point all of the "saber-holders" in our theatre decided to have one big mass battle up in front of the screen. So, there were probably 35 people, plastic sabers blazin', go balls out jedi style! It was pretty funny to watch. People getting hit in the face, or trying fancy jedi-like-twirly-moves only to slip and fall on the floor. Good times. Other than the deadly sabers, it was a great night. This movie ties together the first 2 and the last 3 perfectly. Even the technology throughout the movie downscales, so that by the end it has the same look as A New Hope. All praise Master Lucas!!! I can't wait to see it again.
In other news, my friend Chris graduated from college last weekend! Congrats to Christoph!! I'm so excited for him. It seems like he's been in school forever, and he's been so stressed out with it. I'm glad that part is behind him. Now he just has to find a job. : ) He's leaving on a cruise this weekend with his girlfriend, and my mom and her boyfriend are also going out of town this weekend. So, I'll be by myself house and pet sitting for my mom's boyfriend. He's got a nice house up in the mountains though, so it should be pretty fun. I'm hoping some of my friends will come up and stay with me so I'm not so bored just hanging out with myself for a weekend.
What else do we need to discuss? .........Everyone should be watching G4TV this week. They've got coverage of E3 '05 all week long. For those of you who don't know what that is, E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) is held every year, and it's a look at what's ahead in the gaming future. This year is all about the next generation systems. Microsoft, of course, is presenting the XBox 360* (which looks incredible of course...but alas, no Halo 3 as a launch title.), then there's the Playstation 3 (which looks amazing!! wow!!! can't say enough about this one!), and Nintendo has the Nintendo Revolution (? I think that's what it's called anyway.) This looks good too, but they aren't as far as the other two in it's development, so they haven't had as much to show. Anyway, it's cool shit if you're a gamer, so check it out.
And I'm spent. I have to go think about Star Wars, and you need to go see it! : )

Happy Birthday to Me!
So, it was my birthday a few days ago. Woo Hoo for me! Spent the night with my mom, and then my friends took me to see Nine Inch Nails. It was such an incredible show! It was everything I wanted from Trent. He sang "Something I Can Never Have", and that's all I could have wanted. He was at a small venue here, so it was great getting so close to him without having to suffer the punishment of the mosh-pit. I'm too old for that shit now...fuck mosh-pits. They hurt. And while we're on it, Fuck people who will mosh at ANYTHING!!! Newsflash dickweed, you don't mosh to The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, and certainly not Good Charlotte or Yellowcard. Save your 'Tusin enhanced physical thrashing for the Mudvayne show...because I won't be there.
I've got my Entertainment Weekly here....and apparently Anne Rice's new book , Christ the Lord, is about Jesus in his early years as told through his own words. She released a letter saying "For over ten years I've wanted to do this book....What did it feel like to be Jesus? What did it feel like to be both God and Man as a child?...I have attempted something transformative which we writers dare to call a miracle in the imperfect human idiom we possess. It's to bring Him here in the form of a story, and that story is Christ the Lord." Hmmm, that could go either way. She's ventured into religous areas before throughout the Vampire Chronicles, so this book could be really cool. She can also move a little slow sometimes, so it could be really boring. Coming soon to a bookstore near you! (actually not until November) In other news, my sweet baby Chester from Linkin Park filed for divorce, (that's too bad. I hate someone so yummy to be so sad), Tina Fey is pregnant....ooooooh, cute!, Danny Bonaduce has entered an alcohol treatment program (that's too bad. I like him, he's funny. However, let's make lemonade out of the lemons and hope that while he's out Jamie sucks ass on her own on their radio show and gets fired! I hate her! Don't even get me started! LONG LIVE FROSTY AND FRANK!) , Kingdom of Heaven scored a B-, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy scores a B (i saw this and I would give it a B -) , House of Wax gets a C (i would give it a B) , Weezer's new album, Make Believe, gets a B -,
and in sad news to me, Bill Bell, headwriter of Days of Our Lives, died April 29th from alzheimer's complications. As a lifetime fan of the show, and even though he was responsible for the whole Marlena-possessed-by-Satan thing, it was horrible news to hear. He created these characters that who I feel are like family to me at this point. My earliest memory of television is of DOOL. My Great-Grandma used to babysit me when I was little and everyday she would sit down to watch her soaps (she called them her "stories"), and DOOL was her favorite. I can remember Bo stopping Hope's wedding to Larry Welch just in time, and the two of them riding off on the motorcycle....ahhh...good times. My friends make fun of me for getting so into the show, but whatever! I'll watch what I want! The whole reason I got TIVO was for DOOL. I HAVE TO SEE EVERY SHOW! It's dreamy. I've met Peter Reckell (Bo), and Matt Ashford (Jack), which rocked, squared. ...I better stop myself or I'll just keep going. So, anyway, goodbye to Bill Bell.
And a final note: An old friend broke the silence. It's been years since he spoke to me, so I'm not sure why now? It wasn't everything I needed it to be, but I don't think it was about me. It's good to know that he isn't out there somewhere hating me, like I thought before. It reminded me of when RD called me 2 years after breaking my heart. How ironic. It felt the same, physically. I froze, couldn't breathe, talk, process the situation. Why now? Strange. So, I finish with a tribute to the NIN show, RD, and my old friend who loves this song as much as I do.
Something I Can Never Have
I still recall the taste of your tears
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
Scraping through my head until I don't want to sleep anymore
You make this all go away, you make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing, and I'm starting to scare myself
You make this all go away, you make this all go away
I just want something, I just want something I can never have
You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now
This thing is slowly taking me apart
Grey would be the color if I had a heart
You make this all go away, you make this all go away,
I'm down to just one thing, and I'm starting to scare myself
You make this all go away, you make this all go away,
I just want something, I just want something I can never have
In this place it seems like such a shame
Though it all looks different now
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look you're all I see
Just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be
Come on and tell me
you make this all go away, you make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing and I'm starting to scare myself
You make this all go away, you make this all go away
I just want something, I just want something I can never have
