Today’s Morning Edition had a clip of a woman discussing her life with cerebral palsy. The interview is part of the Library of Congress’ StoryCorps project. I haven’t checked their website to see if the full interview is available. Her remarks on relationships echo some of my own sentiments when I’m feeling melancholy.
I’m going to try to see Revenge of the Sith tonight. I’ve been trying to avoid the avalanche of news media screaming at me to see this movie. Like I need to be reminded. At least the reviews for this episode are a little more encouraging. Do you think the kid from Episode I pops in the DVD of that movie once in a while to marvel at his own craptacular performance? Do you think he cringes whenever he hears himself shout out “Yippie!” with all the feeling of a tree stump? God, I hope so. Over on Metafilter, they linked to some old Usenet postings containing reviews of Return of the Jedi. Even 20+ years ago, “spoiler” was part of the geek vernacular. There’s something kind of reassuring about that.
