Impatience And Loss Beyond The Stars

When I was eight years old, my mother took my brother and I to see the new Star Wars movie. We were both immediately hooked. My brother had the toys; the light sabre, the Millennium Falcon, the X-Wing Fighter, the figurines. I know he wishes he still had them now. I loved the stories –Continue reading “Impatience And Loss Beyond The Stars”

30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Nineteen – Walk Away

So, it’s day nineteen of the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Walk Away. I’m starting to wonder why I chose to undertake a thirty day blogging challenge during one of the busiest times of the year. A time where there are lunches and dinners and drinks, shopping and cooking and work andContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Nineteen – Walk Away”

Apricots, Reblogs and Eurovision

So I woke up today thinking that I should probably write another blog post.

It is, however, testament to the fact that, even though the prequels wereContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – A Galaxy Far, Far Away”

Three Quote Challenge – Day 2

‘Do or do not, there is no try.’ Yoda Oh yeah, it’s a Star Wars quote. After yesterday’s quote, I suppose this could be seen as being moving from the sublime to the the ridiculous. But there are layers to my choice, reasons that go beyond my love of the films, and so that isContinue reading “Three Quote Challenge – Day 2”

May The Fourth Be With You

Oh yes. Today is the day when I share with you my deep and abiding love for the original three Star Wars films. (Let us never speak of the other three episodes). Why today? Well, it’s International Star Wars day and, while I haven’t put my hair in donuts or got my light sabre outContinue reading “May The Fourth Be With You”
