You have my full permission to laugh

You know my modem problem? The one that I've been claiming has kept me off the Internet at home for a year and a half, until Daddy's kind loan of the laptop? Yeah, that one.

Turns out my ISP changed its configuration and all I had to do was change the bloody login name to my full email address instead of my old ID. Which I have now done. That'll teach me to pay attention when they spam me. (Of course, there's still the high-speed-at-work-not-at-home issue... still.) All this time, it's not the modem... it's not the incredibly long telephone wire... it's the freaking "@total.net" suffix.

Ay yi.

In happier news, cooked chicken curry. Yum. All hail Patak's Balti Curry Paste. Also, removed the dead salad mix from my fridge (can someone explain why it gets so much heavier when it's dead? Where is the extra mass coming from?).

This is all I feel like writing for now (think will mainly be sticking to laptop in any case, as can sit on sofa, plus keyboard isn't as irritating as this one). Work tomorrow, sigh.

Recognized this morning, however, that sense of impending doom is probably more due to PMS than to any actual external factor. Unfortunately I ALWAYS seem to have a sense of impending doom when I have PMS, but the other symptoms usually aren't severe enough to make me realize the problem.

So ya. world not going to come to an end. 2 words: vitamin B. Does amazing things for that impending sense of doom ;). Not that I would know or anything ;)

And *eyeroll* at config issue.

Now, must. go. to. bed. Work going to be icky in morning if not, and then I'll whine on MSN, and you'll be sorry. ;). BUT _Attack of the Clones_ surprisingly good. Wasn't expecting to get totally sucked in like that. Mind you, twas on DVD, on the projector, on the wall. :D Home theatre, anyone? :D 'cept now it's past my bedtime. And must work tomorrow. Oh well, was fun!

'Night.

Who are you and what have you done with Paula?

AOTC was terrible...blah! And I saw it in the theatre...]

Of course, now I'm all tempted to watch it on my DVD player and see if it improves...but feh!

George Lucas must stop raping my childhood memories for cash.

Feh!

Um. I guess maybe I have no childhood memorie of Star Wars. I didn't see any of the original three until I was in University. *embarrassed smiley*. So there was nothing to rape. Also, I went in expecting NOTHING. Actually, less than nothing. So the whole thing came off as a pleasant surprise. I actually enjoyed it. And if that makes you think less of me, then *THBBTTT*. *G*

P.

never claimed to be a movie connosieur. I like 'em when others don't. Hate 'em when others love 'em. And DON't get me started on Fellowship again.

I hated AOTC too.

But it had nothing to do with childhood memories and everything to do with hamhanded plotting, atrocious dialogue, wooden acting and a complete lack of suspense. And a moviemaker who beats the audience over the head with every single item that's going to be important later on. (Look! It's a model of a Death Star! We mustn't let this fall into the hands of the Republic! Just to make it clear that it's a model of a Death Star, we're going to do a 4-second close-up of it in the hands of the chief villain as he repeats how important it is that it not fall into the hands of the Republic! IS EVERYONE CLEAR THAT THIS IS A DEATH STAR? Good!)

And I can't wait for Anakin to go over to the Dark Side. The sooner, the better.

On the plus side, much less Jar-Jar.

S'okay then. You are forgiven. For those of us whose childhood memories form or love of Star Wars, the new movies (and the fact that they suck major ass) are an affront to the core of our very being.

Problem is that when your favourite movie from childhood is XYV, the sequel, prequel, remake whatever of XYV that they make 20 years later is going to be bound up in your memories and expectations. Since you have no memories and therefore no expectations, you are forgiven for enjoying AOTC.

Now, if you said you really liked...I dunno...Pearl Harbour...then I might think less of you...just ask Robin. ;]
