weaselmomToday's (Wednesday's) highlight also contained today's lowlight. I picked up K & C at the airport, just moments after a passing truck had blown something into C's eye. We never did figure out what it was -- dirt? glass? strontium 90? -- but it was certainly tenacious. The four of us couldn't get it out, and K ended up taking C to the emergency room. I do hope his eye is going to be OK. This put a crimp in our plans to ride up to the Vintage Motorcycle Enthusiast club meeting, but no doubt it worked out for the best. It was a very windy day, and I probably would have been blown off my bike and kited halfway to Idaho.
We saw the new Star Wars movie tonight. Only George Lucas could give a two-hour special effects extravaganza the same thrilling pace as continental drift. Apparently this is a republic where vocal inflections are strictly prohibited by law. And during the much-ballyhooed Yoda fight scene, I could only think of how our local reviewer described it: "an over-caffeinated space frog wielding a glowstick." The best moment was entirely unintentional, I'm sure: C3PO gazes out at the machinery assembly line and says, "Shut me down!" with exactly the same tone I once heard somebody say, "Slap my 'fro!" Don't get me wrong; I like the franchise as much as the next (normal) person, and that's why I get so frustrated with the way Lucas is killing it by inches. Okay, that's my RDA of snark. I'm done now.
