Monday Morning Rambling on a Tuesday

Well, that was a fun week. Due to some family things, my Beloved Wife had to go visit Baltimore leaving me with the two munchkins all by my lonesome for a week. I am proud to report that I managed to a) not blow up the house and b) not permanently scar the kids.

Thus with that week, I did manage to... well, I watched some of the original Super Defense Fortress Macross after the munchkins went to bed, but prior to that I saw Star Wars a few times, watched a couple of episodes of Avatar, and in general dealt with the kids.

That said, I did manage to pick up the latest Star Wars novel so that's... well it's a mixed blessing. I love Star Wars but it's just not been the same since they removed the franchise from the Hero's Journey and stopped providing us a clear-cut HERO to root for.

Last night though, I managed to watch the anime movie Oblivion Island: Haruka and the Magic Mirror. Which was actually a rather cute movie, and I'm considering letting my eldest son watch it. Which should be interesting as it is a subbed movie. I wonder if his reading skills are up to the task of keeping up with the English subtitles.

Oh well, it is now time to head for work so... until next week...
