I watched "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" yesterday. It was ok. It was like the new series, which is understandable, as it's just the first 3 episodes of that series edited together and then released theatrically. I think it's mostly lame though, and I can see why it bombed. And it was annoying that the Hutt villain was made to seem gay. He had a weird lisp thing going on, and he wore some kind of feathery head thing. Whatever.

Yesterday was ok. Not much to report. I slept really well in the evening. I went to Necto to see Sarry, but it was mostly lame, and I sort of regret going.

The highlight of my night was chatting with Trevor. That's the guy I have a crush on. He's so cute, sexy, funny, yummy, and we get along really well so far. Of course we've not met in person yet so this might all be for nothing. But I'm enjoying it so far. Crushes are fun. We seem to have a good amount of stuff in common. Plus he's 28 I think, which is way closer to my age than I've been dating, and that could be very helpful too. He's a great guy. I hope it works out.

The final book in the Destiny Trilogy shipped today, so I'm guessing it will be here on Tuesday. Doctor Who Season 30 (or 4) shipped too. Yay. I'm going to start reading 'Debt of Bones' tonight. It's a prequel to Terry Goodkind's "Sword of Truth" series, which Sean & his father (Ted) used to rave about. So, I'm giving it a shot. If I like it, I'll get the next book and see how I like that, and so on. There are 12 books in the series, all together. We'll see how I like it. I've only enjoyed a handful of fantasy series (Velgarth, Xanth, Harry Potter); I'm kind of picky about stuff that I read. But the prequel book is really a novella and is quite short. I figured this would be a harmless way to check out the series.

Speaking of Velgarth, there are 2 new books in the series coming out this year; the first of which is already out in hardcover ("Collegium Chronicles, Book 1: Foundation", but given the reviews I'm gonna wait for paperback. The 2nd is a 4th collection of stories: "Moving Targets and other Tales of Valdemar". To read about how I came to this series of stories, check out this link.
