I love the Star Wars theme. It's so hilariously melodramatic. Unfortunately watching The Empire Strikes Back hasn't helped me get any work done at all but eh. Star Wars is more fun than work.

Watching the original three reminded me of an argument debate I had with [livejournal.com profile] rainy_roz a while back though;; is it better to watch IV-V-VI-I-II-III or I-II-III-IV-V-VI? I said IV-V-VI-I-II-III because that's the order they were presented to the world and you get to spend The Phantom Menace distracting yourself from The Terrible and murderous thoughts at Jar Jar Binks with the cool knowledge that this little kid is going to lay the smack down on the entire galaxy soon. But now I'm kind of seeing [livejournal.com profile] rainy_roz's point of it being fun to watch the story develop linearly.

This of course is solvable in only one way; I watch all six back to back in one order and then all six again in the other order. I can't think of any better way to waste spend my time. In the summer. Since I actually have to do some work today.

It is bugging me that I'm spending half the time CGI-replacement spotting though. Thinking I might watch the original version of Jedi instead of the remastered one.

Now some articles are saying a woman was driving the Bugatti but the inital ones were very clear about it being a man. Curious. I've also remembered that, on Top Gear when they were racing the Bugatti vs plane, Jeremy called an insurance company to check how much the Bug would be to insure... and was told "We don't insure that car." Wonder how they got insurance for this one? Especially if it was going to be a rental? And how much would it be?

Crikey. Some people really do have more money than sense.

In News Of My Life, Gonzo is currently in the small tank by himself because he was sitting on the bottom not going anywhere and wasn't very steady about it whenever he did try to move if something startled him. I've fed him some cooked peas and he seems to be perking up a little or at least managing to stay more upright and off the bottom, mostly. His tail's all ripped again though and I have no idea why.

Fish =/= easy pets. Really not, as much as I love the Muppets. Give me something fluffy that you can easily bundle into a car and take to the vet over this.

I seem to have had an insanely busy day without actually having done anything. Except buy the three original Star Wars films, because I'm weak and the book I'm readying for my dissertation keeps referencing them and it annoys me that I can't remember them that well. On the plus side they were three for £20 and the guy in HMV gave me student discount even though I didn't have a student card on me or at all, since I lost it. Which I suspect -- without proof mind -- might have been because I was a girl buying Star Wars. Or maybe he was just lovely. Anyway, £5 cheaper than play.com. Can't complain.

So dumb with tired. Maybe I should just watch Star Wars and veg. And stop drawing out this dull entry with rambling. ;)
