finally saw empire strikes back last nite, which i liked most of all. considering i've now seen the series (2 - 4 - 1 - 6 - 5) i have a better grasp on the whole thing, if not the phenomenon. my little brother sniffed at the movie box and threw over his shoulder as he ascended the stairs, "star trek is better." if trekkies are trekkies, what are star wars-ians?

liz came over to keep my feet warm as we watched the final sequence, full of stories of how much fun the girlz had at the lake. naturally i didn't make it to the i.g. concert, although i did manage to stay up half an hour later than usual. and now dearliz is off for her three-month stint as a fledgling artiste in nyc. i don't have the energy to be jealous, though it goes without saying i'll miss her immeasureably.
