Last Weekend
So last weekend was fantastic. Katie and I got into Springfield around 10pm on Thursday and I crashed once we got our stuff out of my car. Friday Katie took off with Lauri and did girl stuff while I played Halo 2 and got my muffler replaced and saw Star Wars Episode 3 with Frank. Then we ran around with Matt to our uh favorite (only) 24 hour stores. Saturday we sat around the house till it was time to go to Chris's for his birthday party. We played Star Wars Trivial Pursuit and Katie and I lost horribly. It was magnificent. We played some Republic Commando on xbox and it was rather crappy. And then I proceeded to stomp Jim, Chris, and Matt into oblivion with my Ghost and Scorpion in Halo 2. It's true, I've only got skills in a vehicle but then I'm death on wheels. Sunday the grandparents came over for a little cookout and that evening Katie and I went back to Chris's and played games with Chris and Amanda and Nicole. Monday we woke up late, packed up our stuff, and drove home.
So Episode 3. It was good. It wasn't fantastic but it was better than the last two. It was just way too predictable since everyone's already seen the three movies that take place after it. And what I think is worse is that if SOMEHOW someone hadn't seen the original trilogy and never had it spoiled for them, watching the prequels will ruin the moment in Empire when Darth Vader tells Luke that he's his father. So the Star Wars films gained three crappy prequels and lost one of the most pivotal moments in the original trilogy.
But thanks to seeing that I've downloaded the original trilogy in pre-special edition, laserdisc form and started playing Republic Commando and Jedi Knight 2 again. Jedi Knight 2 is so fun... if you ignore the first three levels. They suck. Balls.
The word of the day is SAUERKRAUT.
