Six

Kev listed six non-important things/habits/quirks of his last week. Here's my list.

1. It's rare for me to go to the grocery store as a stand-alone trip. Usually there's a stop at Panda Express beforehand.

2. Somehow I can play double-bass at an alarmingly fast rate of speed but not at mid-tempo speed. If I learn how to properly play mid-tempo, does that mean I'll be able to play even faster?

3. Despite watching various bits and pieces from DVD box sets I got for Christmas, I've watched the Zao documentary, The Lesser Lights of Heaven, over and over again, more than anything else. Thanks again Ryan.

4. A large portion of Tin Cup was filmed down the street from my parent's house. My mom was an extra, as were a number of other people from Kingwood.

5. I rarely say "fixin' to." If I do, I apologize.

6. I've never watched the NBC version of The Office. I still think the BBC version is great.

5. What's wrong with "fixin' to"?

6. At first I was suspect of the U.S. "The Office," but I've learned to love it. In fact, I'm fixin' to watch it on TBS.

One With the Force

For as long as I have been alive, Star Wars has been in my life. I was only a year old when The Empire Strikes Back came out, a time when apparently a lot of people were angry about the twist that revealed Luke Skywalker’s parentage. I was not aware of this until I was in college, and frankly, does it really matter about the twist or the context of the day for fans? I think it does, as history has a way of repeating itself. These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
