There should be, like, a sticker on DVD cases of the original trilogy (theatrical release, natch) saying THIS IS PERFECT, DON'T FUCK WITH IT. It's Lucas' creation and he can run it into the ground if he wants, but I was v. disappointed in the prequels. Vader's pre-ANH career was a lot more entertaining when there was no official canon and we could make it up for ourselves.
Unfortunately, I got an e-mail from them the other day telling me that they'd chosen someone else for the position, which is disappointing but not that surprising. Indiana has like 10% unemployment right now, and a major employer (Whirlpool) just closed its doors in Evansville forever, so I'm competing with a lot of people, and it's very hard to get a job in Bloomington if you don't live there. At least they had the courtesy to let me know, rather than letting me figure it out from context. Things are looking up in that there's a lot more in the papers that I might WANT to do, as opposed to jobs I don't want but feel like I SHOULD apply for just to bolster my image of myself as having a work ethic.
We have the 1950s Betty Crocker. XD It's a great book to learn to cook from, but you do have to do some cultural adjusting--I made an omelet out of there, extra butter and all, once when I was in college and then wondered why it was so heavy and greasy. Duhhh--Teflon hadn't been invented in the '50s. You should hit up Epicurious and SeriousEats sometime, though--the first has a shitton of recipes and the second is a lot of fun to read.
It is really good stuff. We have a loaf of frozen zucchini bread (omnomnom). Only tangentially related to zucchini, I might have taken some pictures of my garden and hung them up on my journal.
Does he have a high-pitched voice? XD *pets his, and your, ears*
