The Star Wars Debacle

     As of today, Lucasfilm is owned by Disney. I truly don't know what to make of that. On the one hand, Star Wars is out of George's hands, which means we may get a break from all the terrible things he has continued to do to the original trilogy. On the other hand, what's to stop Disney from making those same mistakes? And they're planning to make 7, 8, and 9? With who? Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford are ancient! Are they planning to re-cast their characters with younger actors?

Logic can't repel fanboyism of that magnitude!
     I don't know what to make of this. Disneyworld may very well be burned down by hordes of angry fans if things go bad... and I would probably be one of them. Just look at what you've done, George. I hope you're ashamed of yourself...

A Goon's Day at the Fair...

     Forgive me, blog, for I have neglected you for far too long. I have not been idle, however. These past few weeks have been wonderful and full of many great things. For one, I've been... sewing. Ugh, that sounds so... unmanly. How about, clothsmithing? Yeah, that's good. Why have I been clothsmithing? For the Renaissance Fair of course!

Yep, that's me. Not what you expected? Yeah, me neither...
     Several friends and I decided to make a day trip to the North Carolina Renaissance Fair this past weekend, and what a trip it was. "Show us the highlight reel!" Oh, okay... but you know there are good and bad highlights, right? (This is a "Life" post, and, while I'll try to make it as funny as possible, it may not happen.)

"Ano Hana" Review

     To be honest, this will probably be pretty short. I've been caught up in other things, and I'm starting to forget the show's finer points. But don't let that sway your opinion: Ano Hana (also known as Ano Hi Mita no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai whew-what-a-mouth-full) is quite possibly one of the best shows I've seen in a long while.
