Did some yard work this weekend which I always seem to hate. As repeatedly mentioned here, I should not own a house. The bushes have all grown out of control and needed to be shown who's boss, which is usually them. We have one set of bushes that block the side yard and they're fairly tall, about 8 feet, but left unchecked, they're about 12 feet or so. I had to buy a new ladder because I almost killed myself last year with the 4-footer.
So that sucked, because it was about 85-degrees, all sun, no breeze. Then the front pine shrubs are also out of control. To be fair, I've never really dealt with them, but they've overgrown the small pathway to the front door (we never use that door). So I stared cutting them back but gave up because I'm such a loser. I'll get them next weekend, er...no I won't. Too much going on next weekend, actually.
When not battling the undergrowth, I did manage to sort the bag of Lego Star Wars minis and X-Pods I've had since last summer. I'm slowly wearing away at the mass of unsorted Lego I have that's taking up most of my area's free space.
I also didn't get any further on my clinic for the SuperHero game. I just sorted all day Sunday, while watching a marathon of UFO programs on the History Channel. Man, I love that crap. Crop circles, UFOs, Bigfoot. I miss In Search Of...
Watched Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Unimpressive. Which is too bad because I though Resident Evil was pretty good (especially for a movie based on a video game). I actually was looking forward to the sequel and it sucked. I just never felt like the characters meant anything. Boooo... Maybe they'll do better with the next one.
Speaking of movies, I saw Revenge of the Sith last weekend and it was pretty good. Actually made me feel better about the trilogy overall. Lucas managed to keep the cheese and cornball acting down this time. I did have a tough time believing Anikan's quick embrace of the dark side, but I went with it. Overall, it was the best entry in the trilogy.
One thing that strikes me is that Anikan is out of control and unstable throughout most of the trilogy. Compare that with Vader of the original movies and he's focused and controlled. So, time under the emperor does him a world of good. He actually fares much better than under Obi-Wan.
