So after seeing Episode 3 three times already, I can easily say that it's the best of the prequels, though still not as good as the original trilogy. The theatre's been packed everytime I've gone, and I saw a few people dressed up, but since I missed the midnight showing I'm sure I would have seen more then. I've been waiting for the showdown between Obi Wan and Anakin for years, and it definitely met expectations. And to think the whole idea started out as The Star Wars with Annikin Starkiller.

As far as Oregon goes, it's pretty cool. I haven't gotten to see or do much yet because this week's been so hectic, but there's a lot to do here. My project for work is also interesting, and if the first week is any indication, I'll be really busy. The two hardest things to adjust to is the cold weather and the time change. Being three hours behind everyone means that when I'm done eating dinner, everyone on the East coast is heading to bed. And my free cell phone minutes don't begin until midnight Eastern time, so everyone's already asleep by then, at least on the weekdays. I think it'll be a really fun summer though, and it's nice to be able to explore an entirely new region of the country for a few months.

Burger King is getting creative in their advertising.

Someone really doesn't like dimes. I've heard of getting rid of pennies before, but the dime is a new angle. My favorite reason on there is "The March of Dimes may have cured Polio, but a march of Quarters would have cured it 250% faster."

Only two more years till space. Sure it costs a quarter of a million dollars, but that's totally worth it. I can live on ramen for the rest of my life, it's ok. Anything for a chance at the stars.
