I saw the teaser for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe this weekend. Before then I hadn't known that they were making a new set of films based on the Chronicles of Narnia. The teaser really looked promising. I'm all excited now because the Chronicles of Narnia were some of my favourite books growing up. I can't believe I have to wait till December to see it! I just hope that I'm not so wired by then that it ends up being disappointing.

In other news, the semester is officially over for me. I took my one and only final on Thursday. Woot. I'd definitely be more excited if I were still a teacher or a full time student and actually were getting any sort of a real break this summer... or even between this semester and the summer term. It's at this time of year that I think most seriously of actually, really going back into teaching. Possibly at a community college, in a non-tenure track position so I could just get on with teaching and not have to spend half my time doing research or publishing papers. Yeah, that would be good.

So, I got the orginal Star Wars trilogy on DVD last week. Yes, it's official, I'm a nerd. Still, I hadn't watched it in a couple of years, so I guess I'm not as far gone as some other people I know. Shut up! I'm not!

I did make my dad watch it with me, though, and that was an interesting experience as he's a psychologist and is never off-duty (claims he loves his work) so everything gets psychoanalyzed. That's fun to watch with Star Wars (LOL).

Also, I hadn't seen the additional scenes in eps. 5 & 6 because I only went to see ep. 4 at the theatre when they were re-released in '97, so that was fun.

Now I'm just waiting for ep. 3 to come out next year. Not to say I'm looking forward to it, because I'm sort of dreading it, if it's going to be like the last two, but at least that'll be the end of it. We'll know the whole story and have closure and be able to enjoy the DVD's of the original three.
