Curses, foiled again...

...Sort of. As several more family birthdays approach, including my own (September 27th), I'm with the Aged Parents once more, and guess what, the hotel in Garmisch didn't hate my laptop, my t-online software is damaged. Meaning I can only go online via the 'rents computer, meaning no theatrical_muse and other time consuming stuff.

On the bright side of things, I used the time to write my assignment for the Londothon and already got my beta back by kathyh. Now for working in the corrections...

Also: I'm looking forward to purchasing the OT tomorrow. Will try to avoid reviews for fear of the inevitable Lucas and prequel bashing, though. If I don't read one more whine about how someone's childhood got ruined by the Special Editions & prequels, I'd do the dance of joy in public.

Otoh, keeping away from the media also might rob me of intriguing stuff like the Lucas quote from a new interview which lazypadawan provided:

"The controversy is going to be that people expect some horrible, horrific thing to happen to [Anakin] that caused him to [become Darth Vader]. It's much subtler. It's something that everybody faces--when you're looking at yourself, you can see your good and your bad, and say, "Is this a selfish choice or is this a compassionate choice? And once I get something, what would I do to keep from losing it? Would I make a pact with the devil to keep it?"
