cassiejamie - guess what I got in the mail? Thank you! :D Can't wait to watch it! Also, I like the bag. *g*

I have come to the conclusion that Episode III is shiny and loud and... well, that's pretty much it. The best scenes were ones where no one said a damn thing and things were blowing up or there were fights. The dialog hurt me. This is not to say there weren't moments where I thought "oh, hey, that was cool" and there were specifically two moments where I thought, "whoa, that's fucked up" in response to a plot point. Still. It's a whole bunch of pretty and it reminded me of a poorly written fanfic.

queenmaab - I'm still going with you, because I said I would and I liked the visuals ^^* The bro sulked and wanted us to go with him today.

Heard there was supposed to be a "Narnia" trailer before it. I didn't get one. Argh. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" still looks really entertaining. "Fantastic Four" looks like it might not suck too bad considering there's Julian McMahon, Ioan Gruffudd and Chris Evans to balance the Alba.

Stopped at Target and had a look at their in-stock MP3 players. Of note:
+ Samsung YH-820MC - $229, 5GB. Color display, ability to view pictures, unspecified line-in capability. Big drawback: 8hr play back on internal rechargeable battery.
+ RCA Lyra RD2765 - $249, 5GB. Color display; photo ability. Neat little scrollwheel that makes it iPod-like. Don't know if it has a line-in. Built-in battery.

The built-in battery and lack of a line-in is still a huge drawback, so if and when I get the money, I'm still thinking about a Zen Micro.
