Okay, maybe not. But this certainly makes up for a really awful Metro commute. When you're held up in your original station of departure, it isn't a good sign.

George Lucas is finally releasing to dvd the original unrestored versions of Star Wars. They're using the Disney model of releases, though, so the dvds will only be available from September 12-December 31st. The 2004 remasters come packaged with each movie as the main version with originals as "bonus". I didn't buy those versions anyway, so it won't be a double-dip for me, so the remasters will be the bonus as far as I'm concerned. But I bet there'll be some annoyed fans.

I broke down laughing when someone referred to the combination of Pisces and Taurus zodiac cards as the "surf and turf". I didn't get home until extremely late, so I was actually dozing off at my grandmother's birthday picnic out at my uncle's place in Warrenton.

I'm currently weeding through my pants in my closet, clearing the stuff that doesn't fit to go to Goodwill. It's a little depressing, but very needed, if I expect to get this apartment into any kind of shape.
