Thanks a lot Lucas... I'd almost gotten over my stormtrooper action figure addiction. Good thing you put like, I dunno, 582 new variations in Episode III. Last chance at the take a major swipe at the collectors, huh?
Oh well. The following picture is funny:

New trivial things to obsess over.
My Netflix Queue. I'm on the 3-at-a-time plan, which, with shipping times, averages out to be 3 discs per week. I get dvds of tv series, and I try to stagger them so that I get one dvd from a series per week, so that every week I get an disc of X-Files, a disc of Stargate, etc. Naturally, it takes forever to get the Queue arranged properly, but I don't want to risk getting too many of any one show all at once. So, I'm almost done with Babylon 5, and Stargate will run out soon after that. I've added The Lone Gunmen (an X-Files spin-off) to take the place of Stargate, and I've added a dozen actual movies to come in later. Still, I'm staggering these so that every week I'll get "series #1", "series #2", "movie". Months down the Queue, Millenium replaces X-Files, I finally catch up where I quit watching Star Trek years ago, and I see what the big deal is about Alias. But! what if I don't like Alias? What if Jennifer Garner gets on my nerves after I've gone to all the trouble to stagger it against Millenium and Deep Space Nine? What if I get two discs of the same show in a row? Oh! the risks we take! Ah, yeah, so anyway... oh nevermind.

Weird Dreams.
So, the other night I dreamt that I was at Baja Fresh, except that it also was the fellowship hall of my church AND my college's cafeteria. Right. Anyway, I ordered my food and sat down at a table against the wall, where there were three seats. Brian B. sits down across from me, and I thought Jon would sit down with us, but he sat at another table so Charlene could sit with him, so Emily sits with us instead. I went to go get napkins or something, and I returned, I discovered that the Persians had hid my food. So after looking under tables for a while, I yell out to tell whoever hid it to return it, which they did, but now it was cold. So I went to the counter to get it heated up. While standing there, my feet were ran over by miniature remote control stomper trucks. I stood back and a bunch of people ran into a side door where Byron was standing (they were going to the prayer meeting). While standing at the counter, they bring out dessert, which was Ben&Jerry's strawberry ice cream, which Stephanie was excited about.
And then last night, I dreamt I went to Rod's for movie night and I learned how to levitate while watching the old cartoon version of "Return of the King".
