PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) - A spud on the dark side. That's how toy maker Hasbro
Inc. is promoting its latest Mr. Potato Head figure, Darth Tater.

The toy spud will be available next month, ahead of the May release of "Star
Wars: Episode III _ Revenge of the Sith," the latest installment in that film
series.

Darth Tater will come with a light saber, cape and helmet, in addition to the
regular Mr. Potato Head accessories such as eyes, mouth and nose.

The Pawtucket-based toy maker says children will be able to "have all kinds
of mix n' match, Mr. Potato Head fun with this wacky spud dressed as the
infamous `Star Wars' villain, Darth Vader."

The toy will retail for $7.99.

I was supposed to work 9-5 today, but due to the snow, the library closed at 2. Took me 45 minutes to get home. 32 was hardly clean and 97 was just slow. Someone said there had been accidents, but it looked like they had cleared them up. Now the only trouble is that we haven't been grocery shopping in ages and we have no food, and I really don't feel like going to Giant (even if it is only across the street). I think there is Turkey Casserole in the freezer, so that might be dinner for tonight.

AD went to NJ yesterday because he had a dentist appointment this morning. And just to make me feel a bit safer in my apartment alone, Greentree left a note on everyone's door letting them know that there was a break-in last week. Lovely. I can't sleep in empty places, I never have had to. So I didn't sleep as well as I could have last night. Every little creak makes me wake up. I had the fan going, but still, all the noises that I assumed were made by AD are just the creaky apartment. Anyhoo, I'm waiting for him to get home now. Mustang & snow = yuck.
