I saw the Mon Cal Jedi and I flipped. A quick search on the Wook told me that it's some loser with a name that's a lot harder to say than "Bant" (spoilers there) and get this: her master is Fisto. Bant's Master was also Fisto. NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM.

The 90210 premiere was as awful as I thought it'd be. I think I managed 10 minutes. The Top Model premiere was great. You kicked that Riverside bitch's ass, Isis. You kicked it all the way back to... Riverside.

Myself and my roommates rearranged all of our furniture. It looks good. My roommates paint with me and our crappy school-appointed acrylics. My friend's roommate stole/ate over $200 worth of chocolate business cards last night. I like my roommates better.

Church hall bulletin: [info]skywalkathon is extending sign-ups until Sept 7th. [info]neu_beginning is proving to be a fun place for AU Expanded Universe dealings. [info]i_heart_cameron owes Siri Tachi $552 this month in alimony. (Unless Bubz doesn't feel like it.) There are donuts outside but please don't shove.

Isis is great, I'm loving her. And Sheena is badass.

Yesss, Sheena. She annoyed me a little bit at first, but I loved her by the end.

Nahdar Vebb maybe gets a few originality points for being male instead of female? But he loses them all and then some for this little gem:

Vebb's first name, Nahdar, could be derived from the Spanish word "Nadar," which means "to swim." His last name, Vebb, could be a deviation of the word "web" (as in webbed feet) appropriate for a fish-like species.

And besides, everyone knows that Mon Cal are squid, not fish. It's even in their species name! Because George fails Creative Naming 101.

That's true -- this is one of the first non-male, non-EU Padawans I've seen.

Seriously. Everything is either a physical characteristic in a foreign language, or a city. I say they start keysmashing and take whatever can be spoken. itukljabnhglahklja;gj;aljhgal;jkhoaiahjkl <--- at least four names from there. More if I include numbers.

Well, as far as keysmashing goes, there's always Thrawn's full name. ;)

At least Admiral Ackbar got to be named after a Muslim prayer.

SO HELP ME GOD, I AM GONNA SIGN UP FOR [info]skywalkathon TODAY, IF ONLY BECAUSE I WANT AN EXCUSE TO WRITE EVEN MORE A/O/P PORN.

YYYYYYY. THAT'S WHAT BUBZ HAS BEEN BEGGING FOR. I'LL BE ON TONIGHT, WE'LL DISCUSS GAMEPLAY THEN. (LOL I THINK RIGHT NOW WOULD BE THE WORST TIME FOR ME TO DRAG OBI INTO THE A/P THREAD, BTW.)

OH WAIT, RE: AGE. AGE ALSO LETS PEOPLE GET DISCOUNTED OMELETTES AND PANCAKES, BUT I THINK IT'S RUDE HOW A SENIOR DISCOUNT IS ALWAYS DIFFERENT AGE FROM RESTAURANT TO RESTAURANT. IT'S A RACKET I TELLS YA.

Wendy: DavidAFunSized[info]lumy12 on September 6th, 2008 03:43 pm (UTC)
Oh god you watched the 90210 premiere? Is it so bad that you're going to watch it every week and could thus tell me what happens with the "old" characters (who are probably gonna get raped and plundered by the writers but GAH I want to know what happens to them anyway!)? ...I suppose I could read a summary somewhere. Bah, effort.
groove, slam, work it back[info]niicoly on September 6th, 2008 08:55 pm (UTC)
Okay, it's not *THAT* bad. ;) My biggest peeve was that I thought they were taking too much of the premise from The OC. Did you try televisionwithoutpity.com? They should have something.

Oh thanks! They do indeed! *bookmarks*

Yeah, the anti-EU policy makes me grimace. Mrrrm. I think they'd get a lot more sign-ups without it.

anyone who pulls out shit about the eu not being canon just gets a big thumbs-down from me. SRY BBZ, I LIKE MY SOLO/SKYWALKER BRATS TOO MUCH, TTFN~

I totally respect people who, you know, want to disregard it when it comes to their own stuff that they read and write. But man, why take the fun out of it for everyone else? Saying "No EU, please" in a request is not hard. Whatevsss.
pronker[info]pronker on September 6th, 2008 09:19 pm (UTC)
At least it wasn't a name with a glottal stop: T'ra, T'pau, T'pring ... oops, wrong fandom.
groove, slam, work it back[info]niicoly on September 6th, 2008 09:24 pm (UTC)
Haha, what fandom are those from?

ROTS taught me how to pronounce "Kashyyyk." But ysp... yslama... those little guys that rhyme with "salami" still have me confused.
pronker: painfully straight (?) ferus[info]pronker on September 7th, 2008 02:00 am (UTC)
"T'ra" is T'ra Saa, the Neti Master to Mace Windu, but T'pau and T'pring are from Star Trek, Spock's clan leader and fiance respectively. Lots of apostrophes in that fandom; I got tired of it after years and years.' Star Wars has fewer diacritical marks in general, but then there is Padme, who makes up for all of them. One fic from FFN had her nickname as 'May," a nice change from 'Angel' or 'Ami.'

'Ysalamiri'? The things that look like ferrets and block the Force?
groove, slam, work it back[info]niicoly on September 7th, 2008 06:48 pm (UTC)
I just Wookie'd her. Cool; this is the first Master of Windu's I've seen listed. Hee, I've never been able to get into Star Trek. But I've watched a few episodes from the 1970s animated series, which I thought I were really good.

Yesss, fuzzy-wuzzy-was-a-ysalamiri. I can never remember how to type that word, which leads to difficulty.
pronker: anakin[info]pronker on September 7th, 2008 07:36 pm (UTC)
The '70's animated ST series did a good job with 30 minutes, quite a bit of characterization and by then animation could do the aliens M'ress and Arex well, as the movie CGI of the times could not.

Oh, yeah, I liked Star Trek and read all the books and watched all the shows for ... thirty-five years? Gah. I may see the new movie, I don't know. Star Trek at the time was an optimistic take on Earth's future and if one reads SF, there are two ways to go with that theme (my opinion, you understand): a/ the apocalyptic version with WWIII destroying everything and mankind building up a new civilization, usually survivalist or b/an optimistic version like 2001 : Space Odyssey with oodles of science making our lives easier. ST was b/ and entertaining, even in its fanfic 'zines, so I bought some of those, too, even some slashy ones like Spockanalia. All gone with the trash or various moves, alas.
