Saga Collection '06 / Re: The "Final 22"
« on: December 29, 2006, 02:32 AM »
I've got a pair of the clones, but other than that the only figure I've seen (and I've seen him 4 times) is Kit Fisto.

WTF is up with that?!

Everything is cleared out here too.  I went looking today since I've only found TWO of these 'last' Saga figures.

I did manage to score a Lego Star Destroyer for $50 though - $28 after my giftcard was applied!

Now if I can just find a Sail Barge for the same discount...

For now.


But I won last year's Basketball, and I finished 3rd in Baseball just a short while ago.

And next year, I'll be back in Football - mark it down.

All I need to do is get lucky enough to have the #1 pick and use it on LT.   :-\

I've been without Ray Allen for the better part of 2 or 3 weeks.  Other than that my team's been okay (in injuries that is, they pretty much suck everywhere else).  Thank God for Fantasy Hockey...

I don't think executions count.

Or do they?

Well now with President Ford going to that great White House in the sky.... that makes 2.


Who's going to fill out the trifecta?!

Christmas was pretty good to me this year...

My present to myself was my new Canon 24-70, f2.8 L lens. 



My girlfriend and her parents went a little nutty... they bought me an ionizing air purifier for the toy room.  A Campo Del Cielo Meteorite (something I was looking at getting for a while...) and a big heavy one at that!  Then there was the signed screen print of Vonnegut's Goodbye Blue Monday (#62 of 700):



They also picked me up a few Silver Boullion coins... a pair of Palahniuk books I didn't have.  The Lego UCS (Vader's) TIE Fighter.  A pair of leather gloves (OJ Style (except that they fit))... then there was also some cash, DVD's, and a few gift cards.  The cash is going to be used to frame the print and find a stand for the meteorite.

From my dad, there was the Gentle Giant Chewbacca bust and a vintage Max Rebo band set (getting close to finishing off that vintage collection...).  I've got some more family to open presents with tomorrow.  I think it will be mainly cash and giftcards from here on out.

I've heard a lot of bad reviews about The Fountain, though I'd been looking forward to it. Do you have any criticism, Rob?

None.  I thought it was amazing.

But I also already thought that after 2 movies Darren Aronofsky had it all figured out.

Well, yeah.  But I was like 7 at the time.

Ah... GoBots.

I loved those things.

And M.A.S.K. too.





In movie news, I finally saw The Fountain on Sunday.  And I absolutely loved it.

Yes.  I was clearly, and admittedly, completely wrong on that account.

As we enter the playoffs tonight, (well, not 'we' so much as 'you guys') I'd like to go out by noting that once again, my team scored an assload of points in a losing effort.

Enough to beat 8 out of 11 teams - but I lost.

My team will finish (regular season) 6th in scoring - but only .38 away from 5th place.

11th in the standings.

Now that I've bitched about it one last time, I'll stop my bad-luck bitching and announce that I will never ever ever again pass on LT.  He alone probably would have won me 5 more games.  Maybe I'll take the time to do the math and see what my weekly scores would have been like with LT instead of LJ each week.  Stupid.  Stupid Stupid.

Edit:  Ran the numbers, they look like this:

If I'd drafted LT instead of LJ:

Week 01 L - (-5.92 + 12.96) Remains Loss, +0
Week 02 L - (-5.68 + 16.88) WOULD HAVE WON, +1 
Week 03 W - (LT and LJ Bye), N/A
Week 04 L - (-18.68 + 4.20) Remains Loss, +0
Week 05 L - (-10.68 + 2.80) Remains Loss, +0
Week 06 L - (-7.28 + 29.40) WOULD HAVE WON, +1
Week 07 W - (-19.44 + 13.53) Remains Win, +0
Week 08 L - (-32.24 + 28.60) Remains Loss, +0
Week 09 L - (-13.88 + 26.68) Remains Loss, +0
Week 10 L - (-9.56 + 31.32) WOULD HAVE WON +1
Week 11 W - (-19.16 + 32.16) Remains Win, +0
Week 12 L - (Played Rebels, Doesn't make sense to Calculate), +0
Week 13 W - (-6.44 + 20.68) Remains Win, +0
Week 14 L - (-5.96 + 23.48) WOULD HAVE WON, +1

So there you have it, I'd most likely be about 8-6, in the playoffs, and would have about 100 more points in total points putting me around 2nd in scoring.

My season was done the minute I passed on LT - same for Scott I guess.

Regardless,  I could totally see her killing off Potter.  Maybe she won't because it would upset the kids, but I think she might just to put any doubt to rest that the series is caput.

Anyhow, contrary to what Sprry said, there's always a possibility!! What others have done has no consequences! She is not an author in the traditional sense. I doubt she cares what others have done, she's only doing what's right for her characters! Since both his parents, Sirius, and Dumbledore are dead, it might be best for him to be at peace and join them! Sure he would leave behind Hermione and Ron, but them being together finally could comfort each other!

Again this is just an idea, a possible scenario. What would be stupid is too shoot others ideas down, just because you don't agree with them, that's stupid!

Wait a minute, Dumbledore is dead?!!!!!
