Because I am going to see the movie eventually and just like seeing James Cameron’s Titanic I know how it ends, I didn’t want to spoil the journey.
Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith: The Abridged Script?
Thanks Derek.
Rare night off from blogging last night.
All this hoopla over Star Wars: Episode III – Anakin Goes Bad has made me want to go see it, but somehow I feel I will be disappointed, so I hesitate. Yesterday while channel surfing I stumbled on something on VH1 entitled, When Star Wars Ruled the World. An hour long retrospective of the original trilogy. Jonsing for a Force Fix, I decided to pop in the DVD of Star Wars: Episode IV – The One That Started It All. Even though I could do the all the dialog right along with the actors, I still enjoyed it.
The final battle to destroy the Death Star got me thinking. Maybe I need to change out my current Share the Road license plate for a personalized tag that reads “RED 5” for Luke’s call sign in his X-wing. It is probably long gone as I can’t be the only one in South Carolina to think of that. Maybe “REDFIVE” or “RED V” is free. In some states you can check online if a plate is available, but not here…
I called and complained to to MLB.com’s Customer Service on Thursday morning. Talked with a nice fellow named Victor, who while sympathetic, could not do anything about a refund because their policy is they are only available for 10 days after purchase. He asked if I would email him a description of my issues and he would pass them along to his supervisor. I sent him a novella generated from my ranting posts here and earlier email traffic to someone else in their customer service department.
The Red Sox had an afternoon make-up game with the Orioles and wouldn’t you know it, the audio was nearly flawless. But tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim was one of the worst ever in the quantity of sound gaps. I’m listening to the game on the Angels radio station, ESPN. I’d really like to listen to the Bosox’s announcers, maybe if I tried the Spanish language broadcast, might learn to speak a second language…
The monthly meeting of the Master’s Miata Club was tonight and we held it in a back room at Bobby’s BBQ just west of Aiken. I like the food here and managed 3 trips to the buffet, before getting dessert. I don’t heap the plate or anything, but I do get my $6.95 worth.
The weather has been downright dreary around here the last week or so, but today we did manage to get the top down for the drive in to work and the ride home. We put it up while at the meeting as radar looked ugly, but it didn’t rain while we were inside. So the top went back down for the drive home. We almost made it home with it down, but about 2 miles from the garage we had to put it up as the slower city driving allowed the rain to get us wet instead of just the windshield.
Wow, 79 years old today. I know what you are thinking, if you knew you were going to live that long you would have taken better care of yourself. Well, hell, I don’t smoke, don’t drink, I’m taking blood pressure pills and now cholesterol lowering meds and sometimes I’m not so sure I’ll make it to 50, a mere 4 months from now. 🙂
Last week while listening to the Red Sox/Blue Jays games on WEEI via MLB.com the annoying sound gaps I’ve been complaining about seem to come and go. I sent an email reply to the last customer service address I had that said keep them posted, but heard nothing. Saturday and Sunday the Yankee’s games were on the tube, so I watched. Monday and Tuesday games with Baltimore were on ESPN as well. Tonight it was back to “radio” and I couldn’t make it through the player introductions the silences were so bad. Tomorrow I’ll give them a call on the toll free number and see if I can get 2/3rds of my money back or something.
Guess I’ll go back to listening to Radio Paradise in front of the PC in the evenings and check the box scores in the morning…
Going back to work is such a PITA after having a 3-day weekend. We made an effort not to have to go back, but unfortunately some other bozo won.
