Blah. Sick stomach all day.

I dragged myself out to the art store before it closed, because we're running out of primary paints. I went for jars instead of tubes this time - initial outlay is more expensive, but it's like buying in bulk - a jar holds twice as much as a tube but usually costs $2-4 less than buying two tubes. And since we're going to be using A LOT of this paint in the near future...

I got my beloved bistre conté, too, and some brushes and some parchment-look paper to make up for that ridiculously unsuccessful tea-staining attempt of last week.

Went down to Toys R Us with the intention of buying a dice game. Well, I didn't find it. I did find (and didn't buy) POWERPUFF GIRLS MONOPOLY. Then, I also found (and did buy) these cute little Tenchi Muyo action figures, and a Li Mu Bai from CTHD, and a couple of Rudolph figures for my mom. I returned some books to B&N. Headed over to WalMart, exchanged my dress (never thought I would actually buy a dress at WalMart, but there you have it), picked up more of the intensely delicious Cinnamon Streusel bread, another 200-cd holder book (because I am sick of tripping over cds), and a simply stunning copy of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace on DVD, which I'd been looking for last night and been unable to find.

The arguments for and against Ep 1 are as such. "Jar Jar Binks!" "Yes, but Queen Amidala!" "But - THE KID!" "Yeah, but Darth Maul!" - you get the picture. I have the Amidala paper doll book. You know where I stand.

Now, me and my sick stomach are going to go do lots of homework and attempt to hold down the zucchini we just ate. Sigh.

I'm sorry, there just isn't an argument. Jar Jar is actually the BEST ACTOR in the film because the rest of the acting is so stiff and hammy. It's amazing, because Natalie Portman is a good actress, and Ewan McGregor is a really good actor. But not in this film.The lines are sooooo bad and the story, when you come down to it, is boring. I watched some on TV the other night and it all came back again. I did not think it would be humanly possible to make me uninterested in Star Wars, but Lucas somehow managed.

Also, episode 2 is apparently called "The Attack of the Clones." Need I say more?

yes, the lines are bad.
jar jar didn't really bother me that much.
he did lots of other people, though.
my main problem was with the kid.
and there is just too much focus on him.
