a description of the amazing and exciting adventures i have here in baltimore--- and other lies.

 
Yesterday, I received my copy of the 1977 classic, Star Wars Holiday Special. I have not been able to watch it all the way through, because it is two hours long, and it really should be watched in a group. So, even though it is only August, for all those interested, I will have a special viewing of this remarkably watchable copy of the show. Please let me know if you are interested in coming, and we can all figure out a time. Even if we cant do it until near Christmas, that is fine, since it is a holiday special.
The show itself is fairly interesting, and actually quite touching in some parts. It revolves around the Wookie tradition of "Life Day", I suppose analogous to Christmas on Kashyyyk, and the troubles Han Solo and Chewbacca have in coming home to a waiting, loving family. It also has the commercials from 1977, which is worth even more than the show in some ways, because it really tells us how much tv and capatalism have changed over the last 25 years. I had also forgotten that the premiere of Boba Fett was done in cartoon form, and I had mercifully forgotten two of the songs in the show. But now all of it is in my possession, and this treasure is worth gold to me.

And where, you may inquire, did i find this masterpiece? EBAY, of course!
