The last weekend of January 2012 is rolling in…and while I cannot believe it’s almost time to say goodbye to a WHOLE dang month of 2012 already, I am looking forward to what is coming next (and hopefully it’s not a blizzard of epic proportions like we had LAST Feb 1st). No, I’m talking about…
I have so many favorite scenes across all six movies in the Star Wars saga (though I admit that most are from the films of my childhood: Episodes IV – V – VI). Some moments from A New Hope include: The bit when Luke watches Leia’s message to Obi-Wan via R2-D2 The garbage compactor scene:…
There are so many iconic spaceships and speeders and….things that fly…in the Star Wars movies. This year Hallmark released a new ornament for the Slave 1 (that’s bounty hunter Bobba Fett’s ship – in case you didn’t know). I still have the 2002 Hallmark Slave 1 ornament on my Wish List. Currently the two are…
The Star Wars series includes several characters that qualify for the label of “sidekick” – yet despite their second-billing, these Wookies and Droids are interesting and funny and their presence is vital to the story. Which is why there is plenty of room on the Star Wars tree for them. First up is Han Solo’s…
You know what is truly evil? The hectic-ness of the holiday season. I truly enjoy Christmas and pay homage to the idea that “it’s the most wonderful time of the year,” but sometimes, like today for example – it can all feel too overwhelming. I love my Star Wars Christmas tree – I think it’s…
When it comes down to it, the Star Wars saga is all about making sure that in the end, the good guys (and gals) win. Over the course of the series, many heroes stepped up to the plate to do their part, and have now found a place of honor on my Christmas tree: immortalized…
It’s no secret that I’m a Star Wars fan. Who knows what started my life-long attraction: maybe the characters and story line appealed to my archetype loving little soul, maybe Princess Leia’s kick-a** and take names attitude spoke to my inner She-Ra, or maybe I just really thought Han was hot. (Actually I harbored a…
It’s a Just Dance kinda week around here, and really that’s ok – because I am so freakin’ stressed out by my never ending to-do list that it was awesome to let it all go and just be crazy silly for a few hours. My 8 year old Miss A has been enjoying UbiSoft’s line…
Whether you’ve been living in a cave and have yet to hear the buzz about UbiSoft’s Just Dance games, or are a dancing fool who has already worked up a sweat getting down to Just Dance 1 and 2 – you’re going to want to check out the latest and greatest arrival to the…
A few weeks back, I learned about a cute little website called Veronika’s Kandy Koated Dreams. I can’t remember how I first found her – Twitter maybe? Or perhaps her site popped up while I was looking for something Halloween related. Either way, I’m so glad I did! Not only because she does a wonderful…
