That's a hefty admission to make. I like the stealing ideas from spam idea.
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

I dunno, even if they sold 'em for like 2 bucks I'd still download movies from P2P sites soley. I mean, if I want to rent a movie, I want it imediately on DVD so I can watch it on my much larger than computer TV screen. Other than that I see no reason to pay squat for a flick.

And the rebels would get their butts kicked even faster than they had been and there wouldn't be a Return of the Jedi.

See, that's one thing you have to understand about every Crazy Galactic Empire. They may not be practical, but man do they have style. It's pretty much a requirement.

See, that's just a fancy painted car. Cool, yes. But I'm talking hydrolics (sp?), full scale, that sort of thing. Working duel head cannons.

You know, if I had a lot of free time, a lot of money, and a lot of mechanics at my disposal, I'd show up to one of these in an AT-AT. I bet you'd really pick up the chicks in one of those.

I offer my heart-felt condolances
But if you had to go out, I'm glad you did it in style.

Yeah, see, I'm one of those laden boy thingies and I tend to think, umm, Jessica... Nicole.... Megan.... Jessica.... uhhhh.....
Or, I just slur a whole bunch of vowels together and throw two consinants in somewhere.

I do my best thinking during sacrament meeting, actually. Unless I'm playing solitaire on my ipod.... But I think my utter lack of grammatorial (is that a word?) expertise helps me do what OSC suggests. It's kind of like the whole "live like there's no tomorrow and you'll enjoy each day more" thing, except angled toward writing. If you worry about each meal and every small decision, you're not gonna amount to much. Maybe.

Mmmmm..... Nutella. Is there anywhere you can buy that by the gallon?
On another note, the list of things for people who haven't been to a con before would be good.

Yes, I'm still quite interested. 7 Provo time, thursday, you say? I have Brandon's class every thursday until 7:20, technically, though we usually get out earlier. I also have Leading Edge at 7:30 on thursday and I just made a promise to start going more. Sooooo.... basically that and tuesdays are the only night of the week I actually have something going on. If that's the only night available to you guys, I might just have to beg out. Or, I'll submit comments and stuff in absentia. For referance, I have MSN and AIM (though I use Trillian for overall governance) Well, let me know.
