The Super Furry Animals, Phantom Power. In my opinion, the best record of 2003.

Jar Jar has really made me appreciate Ewoks that much more. Bring on the Ewoks!

Very well. The only stuff that hangs around for even a little while is R-3PO from the Hoth wave and the second Imp Dignitary & Ack-Med Beq.

I've gotten deeper into the game now. Very cool! I think the only thing that would kind of stink about doing a toy line for this game is this: you won't be able to get your personal character.

I don't know if I'll be buying the King. I just got Jimi Hendrix, but I try to limit myself on how many McFarlane figures I buy.

Wow, it feels almost tropical out today. A whopping 15 degrees F.

Brrrrrrrr! It's cold! It's about 11 degrees F here, and we got around 6-8 inches of snow overnight. It's supposed to go down to -25 with the wind chill tonight. This stinks and I don't like it! Why don't I move to California?

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: motorcycle
« on: January 15, 2004, 12:16 AM »Nick's rock reminded me of the time a bumble bee hit me square in the visor. Now a bumble bee is big, but not that heavy right? No matter at 50 mph. I was cruising along and whammo! Big, fat bee hit me square in the visor, damn near knocked me off the bike and pushed my head back about a foot. It broke the visor plastic (cracked). I can't imagine if that thing had hit me in the face and stung me to boot.
A friend of mine wore a 3/4 helmet with sunglasses and got hit near the eye by a bee while he was doing just about 50. The thing left a mark on his face like he'd just been decked by Mike Tyson.

It could be that, or when he's holding the ring in Bag End, and calls it "My precious" in the scene with Gandalf after the party.

Here's what I can offer on the issue of safety...
-Protective gear. Get some. Get a good, full face helmet that's DOT or Snell rated. After having a rock the size of a golfball hit the windshield of my car right in front of my face, there's no way I would ever wear a half or 3/4 helmet. Also, get at least a tough leather jacket or a pretty well padded synthetic riding jacket.
-Take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's Rider Course. This course lasts 3 days, and teaches you all you need to know to ride a motorcycle safely. It teaches you basic riding skills, the rules of the road for motorcycles, and strategies to avoid accidents and bad drivers. You need to have a motorcycle learners permit to take the course. If you complete and pass the riding and written tests of the MSF course, the DMV in your state will in most cases waive your road test, and issue your motorcycle license.

I'm very pleased all the way around on this wave. Nice sculpts for certain. The elbow articulation is new and different. Nice additional touch there.
I'm bummed about one thing: I was going to get Dermot Crowley to autograph a General Madine figure at a show in April, and now he's cancelled. DRAT!

I've got my motorcycle license, but currently no bike. I need to buy a home before I buy a bike just yet.

I don't have any idea how far I am through the game at the present. But having a limited line of figures from KOTR would by cool. Just Zaalbar and Mission Vao alone would be cool, along with the Sith Troopers.
