snapdragon76Today our movie night is gonna be held elsewhere. A friend of ours invited us over to her place to watch 'Million Dollar Baby." I said I wasn't sure I wanted to go. Not because I heard the movie is a major tear-jerker, but because I wanted to give mom an opportunity to go and do something without me tagging along. Then I thought, "I really should socialize more." So I'm still kinda on the fence. Maybe I'll call mom at work and explain the sitch to her.
An interesting development has cropped up in the book I'm reading. I'm reading the new 'Star Wars' novel, 'The Joiner King' and it's very good. I mentioned before in this post on my GreatestJournal. Anyway, I've grown very fond of a number of the characters in the newer series due to the fact that I read about thier adventures when they were Jedi trainees in 'Young Jedi Knights.' Two of them, Jacen and Tenel Ka sort of had an attraction when they were in training together but nothing ever really came of it. Well, over the years since, wars have come and gone and now a new conflict arises. Since Tenel Ka is now the Queen Mother of the Hapes Consortium, Jacen went to seek her assistance in this new conflict. Well, let's just say, he was able to... convince her to make use of her fleet. Whatever happened is never explicitly mentioned even though it's strongly implied. Whatever it was, it was enough to convince members of her Court and the Royal Family to refer to Jacen as the Queen Mother's new consort.
Now, the reason this floored me, aside from the mention of people actually having a sex life in the 'Star Wars' Universe (not that there wouldn't be, but still...), is that I kind 'grew up' with these two characters and while I enjoyed the brief flirtation they used to have I was a bit surprised things 'advanced' to this level. Now I haven't read far enough into the book yet in order to discover if this is an 'official' position for him or not. Needless to say, even though I'm enjoying the underlying intrigue that's center stage of the novel, this new development has distracted me enough to want to know more details. Man, I'm such a perv...
Now I want to make an icon of sorts... I can't stop myself. Oh, and I apologize for my massive run on sentence, there.
