The short answer is busy. But, no worries. I shall be returning very soon.

I'm not sure how I should feel about this. I know Lucas sold his entire empire to Disney and all, but, I'm having mixed feelings about all this. Sure, they did a half way decent job on Marvel and the franchise it held. But, this is Star Wars... I'm half expecting an animated, girlie version of Leia Organa to be in the Christmas section of my local Target.
Now, I know there's a few so called princesses in the line up with a bit of blood on their hand (I'm looking at you, Mulan.) But, Not one so far has shot people or threatened interstellar gangsters with thermal detonators. And that outfit, yeah, you know which one. Only that hussy Jasmine can even come close to the gold bikini worn by Leia. Should we expect to see a Barbie-esqu doll featured in the Disney store any time soon?

Then again, maybe this is a good thing. I mean, Star Wars had a few similarities to Disney princesses already. Ergo, the damsel in distress, Lovey dovey sequences and small, woodland creatures to boot. But, Leia never once broke out into song. And, those small woodland creatures did try to eat her brother and his friends.

Then, there's her choice in prince. Scoundrel, scruffy looking....

You get the idea. Anywho, I hope Disney isn't planning on giving her her own castle in DisneyWorld. Although, it might be funny if they redecorated that giant golf ball at Epcot with a giant radar dish. Maybe a small, thermal vent about the size of a wamp rat.

Either way, Good luck, girl!!

Sorry I've been away for so very long. I tend to wander in my current life. I had a little time for self exploration. So, I ventured out into the big, blue world. And the thing I most remember of it is, it's horrid.
People, seriously, what has become of the world recently? Is good news and prosperity too much to ask? And, what about manners? Is that idea passed it's prime? Now, I'm not saying someone should hold a door for me or lay their coat over a mud puddle. But, a little bit of human compassion isn't too much to ask, is it?
In any case. I have learned a harsh truth about the world. In it, it's you against everything.
If you haven't noticed, I'm a bit jaded. Maybe it's better not to venture out into the unforgiving world just yet. I think I'll just hang out here, at DA, where it's safe. And, if you feel that you would like to see the world for what it really is, one suggestion: Bring a lunch. You're going to be there for a while.

With that said, I'm back!!
