Double Blog Trouble

Around noon Monday, Hyperspace Blogs were announced... and it was even announced in my own thread! Well, I'm sure it showed up elsewhere first, but whatever...

Anyway, because I've been so busy trying to finish all my homework in advance so I'll have an uninterrupted Star Wars Day on Thursday -- my work takes me long enough on regular days -- I didn't even check my thread. So, I didn't find out until the official announcement yesterday. Sigh. Oh well. Second day isn't too bad, is it? Especially since yesterday marked two days until Episode III!!! Ooh! Symbolism! Symbolism!

I'll probably make the full transition to Hyperspace Blogs this weekend, although I'll definitely keep this my Blogger blog up so you can look through the (almost) full year of archived entries. In the mean time, I'll be posting entries on both blogs. In other words, you'll basically get the same info no matter which you go to, until this weekend, when this will become the place to be.

Dreams

Back on April 28, I dreamed that there were only two days left until Episode III. Well, that day has come and gone. Then again, in my dream I was also Jar Jar Binks... yes, I'm serious... and I committed suicide. Yes, I'm serious.

I've been having a TON of Star Wars dreams lately. I don't remember them all, but I try to write them down when I do. A couple notable recent ones:

- Watching Episode III in IMAX with my school.
- Someone at school talking about "back when there were tauntauns." At school, apparently.
- Watching Episode III digitally at Loews.
- The Battle of Endor, except the Star Destroyers dive down to the surface of Endor and then submerge, becoming weird submarine hybrids.
- I'm standing at a Galactic Senate security checkpoint when a couple MagnaGuards come in.

There have been more... tons more. I don't have time to write them all out, though.

Star Wars Marathon

Last night I continued my Pre-III marathon by skimming through the rest of IV, then watching the first part of Episode V. Today I skimmed the rest of V, and am currently watching VI.

Midnight Episode III Showing

If you has asked me about it a few hours ago, this is what I would have said.

No, I'm not going to it. Tons of people at school are, though. People who I barely even know have come up to me and asked, "Are you going to Star Wars tonight?" (Those who don't think it's already come out, that is.) I'm not going for a couple reasons.

Scheduling: if I'm to watching Episodes I and II, then go to III, then IV - VI, I'd have to start watching at about 18:00, which would give me virtually no time to do homework tonight. I'd also have to stay up until about 10:00 the next morning, which brings me to my next point...

Sleep: I'd get no sleep. And sleep is nice. It lets me stay conscious throughout the next 30,000 viewings of ROTS... which, frankly, I think I could easily sit through, but you get the point.

But, secretly, I always kind of wished things could work out so I would see it. Well, now, if you ask me, this is what I'll say:

YES!!! I'm going. At the last minute, it just kind of worked out that tickets were still available -- barely -- and I realized I really did want to go.

It turns out I have very little homework due Friday, partially due to my going ahead and partially due to good scheduling luck -- we only have one class Friday. So, I'll skim Episode II after a bit of homework, and then go tonight. I'll get back around 2:30 AM. I'll go to bed -- as if I'll be able to go to sleep, thinking about all the awesomeness I just witnessed -- and wake up around 10:00. I won't be able to have a full I - VI marathon, but it's worth it doing it this way anyway. I'll watch what I can of I and II tomorrow morning, and then go at noon with some family. Then I'll go home, watch what I can of IV - VI, and then go with a big group of friends at 7:00.
