*shakes fist at Wikipedia*

I had this brilliant idea to start compiling a list of all the references to Star Wars in television and film. Decided I'd do a google to make sure noone else had a site already up. And who should I find but Wikipedia, the all knowing (worshipped by verdatum) already has a page started. True, it's far from complete, but it sorta took the wind outta my sails. Either way, I have decided that will be the purpose of the Darth Vader notebook I purchased last month. It shall be my Star Wars in Pop Culture notebook. I shall attempt to list all of them, new and old. Eventually maybe turning it into a website. Whatcha think?

We watched 'Shallow Grave' last night. I liked it. Definately was tense. Don't think I could watch it again, but it was fun in a suspense/thriller kinda way the first time around. And not to sound like "such a girl" but DAMN Ewan had a beautiful head of hair in that movie! So much body! I wish my hair was that pretty! Ah well.

the makers of whedonosity just started a new icon community called iconschool which looks like it will be more about posting tutorials and less about asking questions (which can really bog down icon_tutorial some days).

speaking of icons - for those of you that are graphically inclined, I posted a new challenge over at sw_challenge, this one is for concept art. So come over and check it out and enter!

verdatum alerted me to the fact that 'Pirate Weekend' at RenFest is the end of next month! Woo-hoo! We're going to attempt to get a gang together and walk around says "YAR!" all day. Should be fun.

I'm working 9-5 at Crofton tomorrow...so post to your LJs some amusing stories or quizzes so I can fill the time on the desk (every time I say this, it becomes crazy busy, which is good cuz the time goes even faster!)

you could always use your powers for good and contribute that wealth of info to that aformentioned incomplete star wars entry on wiki ;)

fabulous? wow. that's crazy! haha. I've added you back since someone who thinks I'm fabulous *must* be fabulous themselves! :-)

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

but wouldn't it be more fun to have wiki be my arch-nemesis? Mine is an evil laugh!

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

thatswhatimtalkinabout! yes, I shall crush them with my mad skillz!

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

haha, I just had this great mental image, like in the cartoons when the big huge bear hugs the little tiny animal critters and their eyes all bulge out...yeah...

[persephones-rev.livejournal.com]

I think that's an awesome use for your Vader notebook! :D

Heh, you finally got to see Shallow Grave... Isn't Ewan's character totally obscenely obnoxious??? I love him so! How does that line go? "You're a doctor... you kill people all the time!" *laughs* Christopher Eccs....something-or-the-other really creeped me out, though. o.O

*drools on icon*

sorry what?

Yeah, Ewan's character was a weird dude. And that Christopher Eccletson (sp?!) apparently took over the roll of Dr Who recently, so he keeps popping up on LJ as people's icons and I'm like AH! crazy man!

and the girl...was she Cate Blanchett's clone! I swear she looked just like her!

[persephones-rev.livejournal.com]

Heh, that Christopher fellow... I remember even getting weirded out by him when I saw him in Elizabeth. Shallow Grave was how I was introduced to him, so I doubt he'll ever get away from the stigma I've put on him. *laughs* Wasn't he also in 28 Days Later? o.O

Yeah, that actress is Kerry Fox. I've seen her in other films, but I can't recall any of their names right now. (My sister was watching checking out her films ages ago.) :)

Awww... baby!Natalie! :D I love that film!
