Letter game, Star Wars

Lowell House, on the Feast of Ste. Madeline Sophie Barat

Finals are over! I am deliriously happy, and in my excitement, I've spent the past two or so hours writing up this for the letter game. lazulisong, I invited you to the community and gave you maintainer privileges, so things should be all set. I left the situation a little vague, but I hope it's enough material to work with. ^_^ I had a fantastic time writing it; the style is, um, clearly derived from all my favorite childhood books but I've been wanting to write something like that for a while, so I was pleased to have the opportunity.

To celebrate the end of finals, my blockmates and I went to see Revenge of the Sith, which was much better than expected. The dialogue was cheesy and inadvertently hilarious, but there were some genuinely emotional moments, particularly towards the end, that really sincerely moved me. I have to say, Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman are excellent actors: in the scenes when they weren't hampered by the awful script, they nearly brought tears to my eyes. As for Hayden Christiansen...well, he tried his best, but apparently speaking in anything other than a flat monotone is impossible for him. Also Ewan McGregor's excellent rendition of Alec Guiness' voice made my day. ^_^ It's worth seeing once, in spite of the tortured dialogue.

Yours &c.

:D

Check comm, if you haven't already; we do need to put our heads together about some of the details? Would make list but it's 2:15a and I have to go dump the dog off my pillow and try to get some sleep.

Hayden makes a better proto-Darth than Anakin.

*agrees with nikolai521*

natalie portman is an amazing actress, though. Closer is on my list of movies to make you watch

Of course, as long as I can find the DVD. ^_^ (Did you read the letter game? What do you think? Overdone?)

Oh, and congrats! It looks like you've been upgraded to an A in physics. (At least I think so, because the cutoff for A has dropped.) ^_~

*grin* yay! *blows imaginary kisses to the physics TFs*
and yes, i read it. ^_^ it's very much regency england in style, which is what you intended, ys? what's what the kid named Pig, though? i hope that isn't actually his name... *looks amused*

Actually no, not Regency, but turn-of-the-century. I guess I need to convey the setting more carefully. >_<;; Hm, am I the only one to have read those British boarding school novels where nicknames like "the Pig" were common? You're the third person to be confused by this. ::sighs:: I guess I'll have to refer to him by his real name in the future to avoid the confusion. Anyway, thanks for the feedback; it was very helpful! <3 ^_^
