If I’m not careful, prolonged unemployment will slowly turn my brain into gray mush. I should start a daily mental exercise regimen that includes a game of chess against the computer, the NY Times crossword puzzle, reading the complete works of Spinoza, and teaching myself Latin. But what do I do instead. Watch a video of the climactic lightsaber duel from The Phantom Menace rendered with an a capella soundtrack. I’ll probably watch it again after I post this. And then maybe I’ll play a little Plants vs. Zombies in a pathetic attempt to fool myself into believing I accomplished something. Feeling despondent, I’ll then watch 5 episodes of Farscape on Netflix. And then, right before I drift drift off to sleep, I’ll promise myself to start learning Latin first thing in the morning.
(ba ba badaba ba ba badaba ba ba badaba BA BA BADABA!)
Dude….NEVER feel bad about watching a lightsaber duel. EVER!!
Now, had you been watching what passed as “acting” in the first two SW films then I’d have to question your sanity. By law.
That video was fantastic. Check out Chad Vader on YouTube during your time off. You’ll love it.
