valarltdI love good mail days.
Bad mail days are when you get three bills, one of which is overdue.
Good mail days bring fanzines, SW Chicks Fight for the Cure pins and 2 liter bottles decorated like piggies and stuffed full of crochet-y goodness. OK, I lied about the fanzines.
Dollface and I ran errands: post office, bank, etc. This included lunch at McDonald's for a Hello Kitty toy. And finding out the blood bank isn't open on Monday.
We watched QL. The "Raped" episode is hard to watch, esp the end. When the bad guy gets Sam down and threatens "If you thought what I did last time was rape, wait till you see what I'm doing this time." All I could think was "Wait a minute. Sam's body is really there, and the girl's is just a hologram that everyone sees, right? Oh Sam, get up!"
We also watched "When Star Wars Ruled the World." Very funny. I love Mark's line about "He got made into a coffee table. It was just so unexpected!" And my Ewok-vision was borne out by Harrison Ford's crack about the end of RotJ being "A teddy bears' picnic." Some new backstage footage I hadn't seen. Still nothing of the infamous Medbay Kiss. And Kevin Smith was a delight as always. He does such good Meta. I wish they'd gotten him for the DVD commentary.
Is it my imagination or do both men look as if they've had their noses broken in the recent past? Mark's is distinctly lopsided, and Harrison's is skewed to the right of his face. They don't look bad their ages and the abuse they've put themselves through over the years. Kenny Baker and Warwick Davis are aging well (then again, Davis is only 33) but Peter Mayhew looks bad, and Dave Prowse has been notably absent from all of these. (His health is very bad as I understand. Many back problems.) Jeremy Bulloch is getting better looking with age.
