Star Wars: Clone Wars

I finally got to see this movie. I've been wanting to see this since it came out a few weeks ago but time has been very limited. Today I knew I had to go or I don't think I would have been able to see it in the theater. Harry wasn't interested so I went alone. Star Wars Clone Wars is an animated weekly series that's going to start up in October. It tells the story between episodes two and three. The WB decided to release the first three episodes in the theater to get everyone excited and man did it work.

I'm a huge Star Wars fan as it was this that got me started on my love of sci-fi/ fantasy and collecting action figures. This was a non stop action film and really started to flesh out some of the characters from the movie. I know Cartoon Network has ordered 100 episodes so we are in for a long haul with this series and seeing what they did just with the first three episode has really gotten me excited for the series.

Updated Website

Spent the weekend updating my website.. I've been wanting to do this for quite some time. I added a "My Wedding" section with 36 pages of pictures. I changed "My Partner" page to "My Husband". I added 14 pages of pictures to "My Toy Room" section and added a report and pictures on Harry and my final adventure at Star Trek the Experience. So check out my website if you haven't already and let me know what you think.

Star Trek Poster


Today Harry and I got our Star Trek XI posters. While at Comic con this year you have the opportunity to sign up to get a free Star Trek Poster. I signed both Harry and I up. What I didn't expect was the size of the Poster.. I thought the poster was going to be a mini poster as that is what they normally give out at comic con, but it's not. It's a large theater poster and sent in a very solid tube so it's in perfect shape. It's a great addition to my collection.

Scare with Dad Last Night

Last night while driving home I got a call from my brother. I was in the middle of driving home and didn't have my blue tooth so I couldn't answer. When I got home I checked my phone and there wasn't a message from him, which is kind of weird. So an hour passed and I get a call from my Mom. Now it's 9pm and I know something is wrong, as my Mom doesn't call me this late. My mom tells me that my Dad is in the hospital again and it looks as though he had another stroke. Michael my brother has had enough and can't deal with Dad anymore. I immediately called my brother to get details on Dad. They were still in the waiting room and a nurse was looking him over. She said it looks like a stroke; he couldn't walk, slurred his speech and was sweating very badly. So I hung the phone with my brother and told him to call me back when he found out more info. So another hour passed and my brother called me back to inform me that Dad's blood sugar level was 32. He recently found out he had diabetes and he is suppose to keep his blood sugar between 80 and 140. The nurse gave him OJ and cracker to try and raise his sugar level and it seemed to work. I called Dad this morning and after 3 glasses of OJ and a few crackers they managed to get his blood sugar level back up to 108 and everything went back to normal. So no Dad learned a lesson about letting his blood sugar get to low as well as too high. I'm just glad everything worked out for the best.

All Good Things....


Must come to an End... Star Trek The Experience officially closes today. It's a very sad day in the Star Trek Fandom. It was a great run while it lasted and both Harry and I have many great memories.
