1991, and I was very much settled into my Gaming Group. Apparently I was managing to go to the theater more, as I opened 22 tabs, after skipping at least a dozen less memorable offerings. Hmm, gotta narrow this down. 12? Twelve is doable.

~ Toy Soldiers - Teenage rebellion against a hostage situation. Honestly loved the acting here.
~ Hudson Hawk - What is NOT to love about music-timed heists and Bruce Willis playing off Danny Aiello?
~ Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - Honestly, when I rewatched this, I found it enjoyable but very much not definitive. Still, great cast.

~ The Rocketeer - Fun. Pure Fun. Also, watching the guys realize that was SARAH from Labyrinth amused the hell out of me.
~ Terminator 2: Judgment Day - +grits teeth+ Cameron knows how to make a sequel equal or better than the previous entry. Linda Hamilton is who sold me on this movie though.
~ Point Break - Before Brian and Dom got their hooks into me for Fed and Crook, these two... damn. Love them.

~ Showdown in Little Tokyo - ALL the warnings for this, especially violence against women. However. Brandon Lee and Dolph Lundgren offer up a great partnership, even as the yakuza and Japanese 'culture' references that frame the movie are... Hollywood to extreme.
~ The Addams Family - AWW YEAH, first limo event! LOL. K was driving for one of the local mafia and had use of the limo when it wasn't hired. Pack of 16-29 year old geeks rolling out to see this icon in a limo. Great times.
~ My Girl - So y'all remember when family friendly movies didn't shy away from handling death? Yeah. Completely unspoilered for this, and P ended up sobbing all over me.

~ Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country - Limo excursion. Some of us in ST uniform. I was at 90+ hours conscious, which made it an interesting experience.
~ Father of the Bride - As remakes go, this one rocked it. And I still love to watch it AND the sequel.
~ Fried Green Tomatoes - First entry in Mary Louise Parker is queer and breaks my heart. Also, if you have only seen the film, do yourself a favor and read the book too. They complement one another.

Music "Man in the Mirror" - Michael Jackson

I just spent an hour resetting a bunch of passwords. I didn't do them all, but I did all of the email account ones, my bank, apple, etc. The big ones.Which, ugh, now revisiting the Forbes article, I guess I need to do the FB ones as well. YMMV but it's probably a good idea to change your passwords if you haven't already done so.

Ugh, it's been hot and going to get hotter. The next week is going to be suffering.

Monday, got an oil change. I like my new mechanic! The shop is affordable and honest to a fault. They did a fairly thorough inspection and flagged a couple of things and when I went to schedule taking care of one of them, they insisted it wasn't a safety issue and that I'd be much better off saving up the money (because it will be pricey) and they'll see how things look next oil change. (Car is a decade old and this is apparently more of a 'x is starting to show a bit of wear' not 'x is about to fail'. I would have done the repair! So yeaaah, honest possibly to their own detriment, lol.)

Tuesday & Wednesday were help the 'rents days. Went a little hard on Tuesday but that just made Wednesday easier. On Tuesday, I waited around for packages that didn't arrive (they did, later, but beyond my timeframe)... I have another on the way from Bandai and I love the path their packages take. They always scan at a facility in Arizona called Navajo Nation which I assume is located in the greater Navajo Nation somewhere. Anyway, since the packages are always Gundams/Gunpla, I keep imagining Gundams and pilots stopping to admire the American Southwest and learning a bit about it.

We're back to shuffling things around at work, including my sanity. It has become a 'we all need to work on things as a team' but there's still no second shift and nobody leaves me notes. So I work on what the fuck ever and then reiterate that I am not psychic, leave me notes.

Weekend is going to be some errands and catching up with a friend for their birfday. Still picking up some things for the airbrush and whatnot. I definitely need a hygrometer and I also realized that I forgot to get primer. ^^;;

I have (at least temporarily) removed my Transformative Works Permissions Statements after an incident. It feels kinda bad but the incident feels really bad so I'm just gonna take some time and sort out some psychic damage and greater feelings.

Soon Only He Would Remain (100 words) by Sharpest_Asp
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Wars Original Trilogy
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Major Character Death
Characters: Sheev Palpatine | Emperor Palpatine | Darth Sidious, Darth Vader
Additional Tags: Drabble
Summary:

Palpatine is so certain of the outcome

Soon Only He Would Remain

The Force was his slave, and it was flowing so strongly. All of his life, he had waited for this moment, when he would truly be the last master of it. There was no need to replace his underling, and the boy would be dead before that machinery ceased to function. He was the only one who would —

WHAT?!

NO!

It wasn't possible! He shrieked and lost control of the Force Lightning, but knew it was striking his puppet.

That traitor!

After all he'd done for him?!

His scream echoed in his own ears, all the way to the core.

(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)

helen_keeble recommended this LitRPG series, and I am having a GREAT time, although I'm only about 80% of the way through the first book (but honestly I don't expect my opinion to change a whole lot; it might really surprise me later, but this strikes me as a series where what you see is basically what you get).

But what you get is really a lot of fun - light, entertaining, very funny, with a lot more humanity and a darker edge than I was expecting. Also, it's a good Baby's First LitRPG (a genre I've bounced off repeatedly in the past) because there's a solid in-universe explanation for the stats, leveling, and other aspects of the genre.

Basically, Earth is now an alien reality game show.

In one moment, the vast majority of Earth's population is exterminated (everyone who was indoors or inside a vehicle or other contained space - they're all recycled by an alien resource development company, along with just about every other human-made thing on the planet). Everyone else finds themselves plunged into a world-sized dungeon with nothing but whatever they happen to be wearing at the time, where they must compete against an escalating series of challenges, televised for a galactic audience and run by a psychotic AI with a foot fetish and a ruthless alien corporation. The hero - Carl - was outside in a freezing night in order to rescue his ex-girlfriend's pedigreed Persian cat Princess Donut from a tree. Now he's in a dungeon, forced to compete against all too real enemies as well as fellow contestants, with a mind-controlled virtual pop-up display giving him descriptions of his and his opponents' stats, and a virtually unlimited inventory space. Princess Donut almost immediately gains a level-up bonus to human-level intelligence and becomes Carl's partner in the dungeon crawl, a squishy mage with sky-high Charisma next to Carl's tank. Who knew all that time playing first-person shooter games with no company except his cat was going to pay off ...
