Manic Monday, Wish It Were Sunday

On the way home from work today, felt like I had been drained of all my energy. And yeah, I did have a four day weekend, but it went beyond just the getting back into the swing of things feeling. I think it was partially because LDU behind me was having a bad bad day - having issues with the service providers in her life, bank and err telco supplier. And she wasn't getting good customer service and getting stressed out by it all.

And was stressing all around her at the same time. The guy that sits across from both LDU and I was saying to me he couldn't handle all the swearing, and MBA, who has been on honeymoon leave the last two or three weeks said everyone handles LDU in their own way. My way of course being quiet as a mouse when things are going wrong and curling up into the fetal position LOL. SGR wasn't at work to lighten the load, more's the pity, hope she is alright, apparently on sick leave...

Saw Star Wars 3 yesterday, surprise surprise like the other fifty million around the planet. Will put together my usual mini review later in the week, but will give a paragraph opinion of it - is almost as good as Empire, which was the best of the original trilogy. Where the acting was wooden in Attack of the Clones especially, it is back to silly, which is good for what really is a brainless actioner. I look at Natalie Portman in this, and I think of Natalie Portman in Closer or even Garden State, and think, you can do so much better than this girl LOL. Hayden Christensen is pretty good for a Star Wars flick as well, smouldering as much as Harrison Ford perhaps?

But really, I look at the new movies and how ALL the loose ends between 3 and the original are tied up, and I think, Mr Lucas, did you really have in your brain that you would make the series as a trilogy and then a prequel trilogy all those 30 something years ago? Why on earth not make the first movie first LOL? And before you think this is the end of the Star Wars saga, apparently they are remaking the originals as 3-D, and I'm wondering why even bother?

More later, I had more on my mind but it all just went away - oh, Big Brother of course. Can wait until tomorrow.
