Happy Birthday Star Wars

How has my day been so far?

Pretty sweet.

I took the day off and it’s a beaut outside. I started the day by watching the season finale of Smallville. Very cool…very…bizarre (this is for all those who don’t like being spoiled).

I then headed out to The Brick to pick up a few armchairs for Vero and Melanie (Vero’s new roommate) but they didn’t have them in stock so they’ll be in on Tuesday. They looked pretty swank.

Then I headed out to Blackburn and dropped by Lynn and Sue’s pad but they weren’t home (well, I suppose that isn’t a huge surprise being a working day) so I headed to one of the greatest pubs in the world – the Blackburn Arms.

Sat myself at the patio, ordered a beer and some fish and chips and started reading the newspaper where I realized I forgot an important birthday today!

Star Wars turned 30 today. This is a huge day. In fact, I find there is more emphasis put on the age 30 than 25.

There’s not a whole lot that I can say about Star Wars that I haven’t said before. I thoroughly enjoy the movies, they really made an impact on me and I’m glad to see that there is still A LOT happening with the legacy.

There. That’s it! I’m sure you were expecting more. You should watch Star Wars tonight just for old times sake.
