Star Wars Virgin

Kellie is, shall we say, a little sheltered in the ways of Sci-Fi.  Currently, she is ploughing through my copy of The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, and she loves-loves-loves her Lego Star Wars games. Granted she enjoys Lego Batman and is waiting on her Lego Indiana Jones, but she loves her Star Wars.  She's also ploughed her way through and loved the Lord of the Rings trilogy (to the point she's named her cat Arwen), so slowly but surely, I am getting her more worldly.

Well, Other Worldly ;)

Edit: A correction has been pointed out to me. Madam Kellie is a complete Doctor Who buff, so is not as unworldly as I realise ;)  I apologise, and will admit I was wrong... :D


In a worrying turn of events, however, she's not seen the movies - at least, not to the point of being able to actually remember any of them.  So, me being me, I'm going to MAKE her watch them all.

And herein lies the issue and reason for this post.  What order should she watch them in?

It seems a simple question, but then, I'm not sure what to do for the best.  See, us Old Timers that watched them the first time around watched them in the order they were released.  New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi.  Then, years later, when the new films came out, we had to watch them; Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith.  And, later still, the CGI animated Clone Wars movie and subsequent TV Series.

In order of release, the story would probably make no sense, but then, 4,5,6 then 1,2,3 makes for interesting fore-shadowing story telling.

Now, the story order would make sense in a story-telling way.  1,2 - then the Clone Wars, then the series, then 3,4,5 and 6.  This would tell the story like a book, page to page, as it were...

But I just don't know what to do for the best.  So, I ask you dear reader...  What do we think would be the best way for a Star Wars Virgin to enjoy the entire collection?

Episode 4: A New Hope
Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back
Episode 6: Return of the Jedi
Episode 1: The Phantom Menace
Episode 2: Attack of the Clones
Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith

Tagged: Natural vs. Fake?

Pretty much everyone in the world loves boobies. Let's face it, they're great. And I don't mean just us blokes. No no, girlies love them too - and why wouldn't they, they get to play with them as much as they like under the pretence of "adjusting the bra" or "having an itch"

Don't give me that look, you women sigh at us when we adjust ourselves for "adjusting the boxers" or "having an itch", fair is fair. We itch and adjust, so do you.

But I digress.

The debate here is Real vs. Fake. Me - fake seem OK as long as they aren't the size of a beach ball, and don't look like they've had the worlds water supply injected in them. Or, in other words, I like boobies.

The question is, can you tell the difference between Real Ones and Fake Ones? This quiz - and it's for grown ups - shows a video clip of a pair, and you have to decide if it is a real pair or a fake pair jiggling in front of you. If you don't like boobies, don't click the link ;)

Me, I scored 22 out of 30. Of course, I am more "Hands On" as it were...

Censoring Yourself

For the most part, I blog on an almost daily basis. I say "almost" because I tend to skip a few days here and there, take hiatus of a few days/weeks, but with multiple posts a day, I tend to post daily. And, it has to be said, when I post, I am not shy what the subject at hand is. My own misfortunes, the mishaps of others, happiness, sadness, fear, humour - whatever is on my mind, things that have happened - I tend to post it all.

But - as has been pointed out on more than one occasion - I don't talk about everything that goes on. Everything is a broad subject, and to be honest, I don't think people want to read about my every moment of a day in minute detail.

Imagine the loo breaks, for example... Exactly.

But there is stuff I do skip, brush over, or completely don't discuss. Politics and Religion are the two biggies that I don't/won't discuss and, as mentioned elsewhere, I don't do the former as it's a very localised thing, and I don't do the latter as, well, I simply don't believe. But added to this, these two subjects can be the biggest flame bait of them all, and I don't want that.

Aside from that, I like to believe that every thing on the blog is as real as it gets, but I know for a fact I censor myself fairly often. I change names to protect those that might be surfing for themselves. I skip some material because I know it's not something everyone wants to read. I also know that some members of both Jo's and my own family read the blog, and know that some things might cause, shall we say, issues. And, there are things that are generally private.

Yes folks, believe it or not, I have a private life.

And it got me to thinking... Of all the other blogs out there, I wonder how many of them are complete photocopies of someones life, or if, like me, they've edited themselves for the sake of friends, family, decency, work or whatever. Even the adult blogs I read, some are anonymous, some talk only about their adult life, most use false names. So even they censor themselves.

I sat with a pad and pencil this afternoon, and wrote a list of the general stuff I discuss on the blog, and along side, a list of the things I don't discuss. I'm not talking about the size and consistency of my last crap, but real information about me. I found the list of "Public" and "Censored" items were identical in length, and was a little surprised.

Our of all my friends, my family, my close relatives - out of everyone that visits this blog (and excluding Jo), I know of just two people that know pretty much all there is to know about me. Everything. And I'm not sure that is a good thing or a bad thing. Is it good that I have a life that people don't know or understand away from everything else, or is it bad that I only trust two people with the secrets of ME?

So, bloggers that read this, whether you've commented before or not, have a quick vote. Think about your blog, and the things you could put on it. Do YOU censor yourself, and if so, how much? Do you find yourself editing your posts all the time, checking over to make sure there's nothing that other would recognise? Do you occasionally change names or post something then edit out the juicy bits? Do you post all the gore, but change a few items at the last minute, or are you brave enough to post every facet of your life? Vote, Comment - anonymously if you like - I'm just seeing what is what out in the world.

Sticky Post: Polls!

As I want you, The Reader, to be happy, I've decided to get a bit of feed back from your good selves. I've been doing a lot of fiddling and faffing around of late with 0ddness, trying to get it just *so* in regards to looks, functionality and content. Does it look good, does it work well, do you like what you read - that sort of thing.

So, to get a bit of feedback, I've created two polls, Looks and Functionality. If you want more of something, say so, if something doesn't work, or you'd like to see something added, let me know! Generally, I Blog because it's a way to let off steam, and I enjoy to do it - I especially love to get comments and know people are visiting and enjoying their stay!

So get clicking!
