Addict!

I've added a few new members to the family of Jaime's Addictions. Don't worry, beer, as always, remains the patriachical figure. These new additions include coffee and Star Wars. My new version of heaven is to sit in my living room, watching The Empire Strikes Back (unquestionably the best Star Wars movie) and sipping on some Folgers French Vanilla. Unless it's the weak shit I made this morning. Apparently I don't quite have the coffee making skills Ash does. The strange thing about both of these things is people either love them or they hate them. There is no "What do you think of Star Wars?" "Well, it's alright, I guess." Coffee is the same way. You either take a sip and start choking in disgust (which is what Bridget did for about 15 minutes yesterday) or you take down the whole pot.
Okay, let's discuss Star Wars for a minute because, like Lee, I think the recent release of the trilogy on DVD is highly blogworthy. Here's my number one question-How could anyone hate these movies??? They have EVERYTHING! Action, adventure, drama, comedy, romance, and horror (that emperor guy is one nasty lookin' dude). There are attractions for males (Lea), females (Han Solo) and any sort of creature with excessive hair (Chewbacca, the Ewoks). Yesterday I was asked the question "Are STILL watching Star Wars?" several times. What do you mean? You can't just watch one!!! They're the Lays of movies. I'm just glad that I wasn't alive when they came out in the theatres for the first time. I would have gone crazy waiting for the next one to come out!! Especially after Empire, which Lee pointed out does not really have a happy ending. I think that it would have been marvelously happy if they had just left C3PO disassembled after he got blasted by that Storm Trooper....*grumbles* I hate that guy. Anyway, I think that anyone that doesn't like Star Wars should be tied to a chair and forced to watch them until they appreciate them. I think half the problem is that they just don't understand what is going on. Or that they're stupid.
For those of you who may be worried right now, I'm not one of those crazy people who are going to start collecting SW action figures or buying Star Wars Trivial Pursuit...Oh yeah, and I don't plan on going to a "con" (Ashly's word).
And hey, just think, it's better than crack.
