Attack of the Clones...it's begun!

I put off ET just for this! I REALLY want to hear this famous 'love theme' that others have been crying over.

<takes sigs out of Puffs box cuz it'll probably be needed>

Man, I *NEVER* listen to the soundtrack before I see the movie! Going spoiler-free for EP3 will be VERY difficult...

Anyway, thanks to a freak and first-time certain accident with my headphones (and the absense of toilet paper), I got to go to Wal-mart today and I went looking for the figures and stuff since I know they're out. It took me forever cuz I went to the 'normal spot' and I COULD NOT FIND THEM! From my one viewpoint, I looked down the aisles and still didn't see them...oh the Love Theme is on!!!

<-time out->

Ooo! A HARP! This is SO close to a real classical piece! Aw...it's over. One or two chills, but no spills. :-( It'll grow on me more when the movie comes out so no biggie there. But that was VERY close to a real classical piece! I have a cd of classical music that's been a staple my whole life and I'd feel very comfortable with the Love Theme being one of the tracks. It'd be out of place cuz it's Star Wars and there are hints of Imperial themes in there, but it's still VERY classical. I'm impressed. Lemme go thru the whole thing a few more times and then I'll go back to it.

Well, like I was saying about the figures, it finally dawned on me to look at them from the opposite side, and sure enough there they were...on the exact opposite side of the exact same wall! WOWSERS!!!! I got me a Yoda, a hot rod car, and a purple lightsaber. Thanks to my compulsive figure-shopping that I did for TPM, I now have...WOAH! AN ELECTRIC GUITAR!!!!!...a better idea as to which figures/characters may be harder to find than other later, and which ones I'd like to have because I really want them, and not because they're there.

I must say that overall, I really don't like...Oooo but I DO like this track #3 tho!!! African drums and clappings!! COOLNESS!!!! ME LIKES!!!...ok what I don't really like are the figures this go-round. They seem less lifelike actually...GUITAR AGAIN!...than TPM's. I hated the package designs from the SW.Com previews, but I didn't figure (heh- that pun *not* intended) that I wouldn't like the figures. :-( Well, maybe that means I'll buy less this go-round. I really don't want most of them anyway...and least not *now*. What I DO want are as many of the Jedi as I possibly can get. I definately want Jedi!!!!

I got myself the purple "run-of-the-mill-cuz-its-blade-is-smaller" lightsaber. The blue ones were a darker blue, and the green ones look like they're on the turquoise side. They don't light up, but they clip to your belt. Oh and this is odd- they have a red one too. RED'S SUPPOSED TO BE ONLY FOR SITH! WHY IS IT LABELED WITH THE JEDI SABERS?!?! Well, if it's rare, I probably should've gotten it too (but what the hell would I do with it?)...Ooo! That bit sounded like Journey to the Center of the Earth!!!

<drooooooooooooooooooooools>

<Jedichu joins in droolfest>

...but I didn't have much on me.

I got the hot rod car so that's now 3 vehicles my figures have to play with: a TIE fighter, Darth Maul's speeder, and the Jedi hot rod car. <Hot ROddish gets a little too excited> Yep, wesa gonna have some major traffic trouble around here!

<Hot ROddish drives hot rod thru a stack of papers on RH's computer desk and sends them flying everywhere>

"I hate it when he does that." ;-)

Hey cool, Dad's up here listening too! He's SO cool! He actually likes a lot of the same music that I like and I've gotten him hooked on a few of my favs. I got the track 3 playing again so he can hear the drums and electric guitar.

<Hot ROddish floors hot rod and narrowly avoids hitting my guitar in order to narrowly avoid hitting Dad>

Excuse me, I got some damage control to do...come here my little Oddi- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH RUNAWAY CAR!!!!
