I can’t believe I let it get to this point without mentioning it, but Mid-Ohio-Con is tomorrow. These things have a way of sneaking up on me, but I’m sure bumping it up a month early didn’t help. I just finished double checking my costume stuff. (Finally found my missing Mando glove- stuck to my Wookie braids the whole time.) I think I’m all set and ready to go. Really excited. A little nervous about all the changes. Lots of questions still up in the air at this point, but the unknown stuff is half the fun. Becoming too familiar and complacent with these things tend to make ‘em boring. In all my hears of going to MOC, they’ve always done a good job of shaking things up every so often. I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun. MOC is definitely one of my favorite conventions. (AdCon is it’s only close rival.)

Palin: Is it just me, or is she a little bit like a cute, femail Peter Griffen?
I know, I know. The political stuff is poison, but this was just too funny/true: The Palin Debate Flow-Chart
And let’s round it out with some good ‘ol SNL.
But, hey, she’s cute, so people are still going to vote for her and John “Making-War-Widows-Cry” McCain. /wink/
Kind Of Weird (TTG: Bat shit insane Hahaha)
I was following various links on Wookeepedia and they eventually led me to one of the weirdest web sites I’ve ever seen. It’s called SuperShadow.com (wookeepedia entry) and it’s basically a Star Wars fan site. But what makes SS different is that it’s completely, 110% INSANE!!!
The guy claims to be a close, personal friend of George Lucas and regularly passes on fan ideas for the next TWO prequels that they’re working on. (As in, 7, 8, 9, AND 10, 11, 12.) Of course, SS will be playing a major role in these movies. Now, you would think this would cause problems with the various novels and other material already covering post-ROTJ, but SS completely disregards the EU… well, mostly. A few notable EU characters have found their way into the outlines for his movies. But for the most part, he claims that Lucas only allows the novels and games and such to be produced to make money. (To be fair, there’s probably a little truth to that.) One other feature that I found interesting was his list of “Most Powerful Jedi” and “Most Powerful Sith”. I disagreed with it on several points, but then again, my opinion was tainted by the false EU. (Still, my $.02: I’d pick Nomi Sunrider for the Jedi. It’s a little more tricky with the Sith. Freedon Nadd, Exar Kun, and even Palpatine are all easily in the running.) It’s not all about Star Wars, though. He also likes to post pictures of the various women he’s dated. Sure, to the untrained eye, they may look like pics from a bikini model website with the copyright edited out, but when it comes to a guy as cool as SuperShadow, you know it’s true. And I guess at one point he posted pictures of a blogger named Nikita Kashner, though he called her Amber Castlerose. “Kashner” denied it, but I think “Castlerose” was just trying to keep their passionate romance private.
Seriously, that’s just some of the crazy shit you’ll find on that site. You really have to see it to believe it.
