stopitsomemoreEvery lightsaber ignition in all of the Star Wars movies:
You're welcome. Happy Friday, bitches.

stopitsomemorestopitsomemoreAs the biggest Star Wars nerd on the FG crew, my obligation it is to bring news of Yoda's recording session for the Tom Tom GPS unit we've discussed here before. The best part is where he uses the force to shut the haters up. Anybody who cannot understand his directions is probably only driving to the dark side, anyway.
whyareyoulikethisIt's a little early for this, but for those of you reading who celebrate Halloween, we're all aware that it's totally the one night a year a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it, right? (Right.)
But what about those of us who'd rather do something more relevant to our interests than be a boring sexy bunny or a sexy nurse? (Please note I did not mention the classic sexy cat costume, as cats are relevant to our interests around here.)
For those of you who like to plan ahead, today we've got two nerdy costume options for you, good idea/bad idea style:
( Good idea: Intergalactic Evil )
( Bad Idea: I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS IS. )

stopitsomemoreSo. Um. You guys might have noticed that I like, have strong feelings about Star Wars. And now, TomTom, on the day after the most important High Holy day of Star Wars geeks, May 4th (if you don't know why, GO KILL YOURSELF, you probably only liked the prequels, PHILISTINE), they have made it so that I can have Darth Vader, C3P0, Yoda, or Han fucking Solo giving me directions while I drive. Do you know what I would actually do if Han Solo was giving me directions in a car? That's right: I would follow them to a fucking T. If that involved driving into a tree or off of a bridge, SO BE IT.
I'm pretty sure the universe spat this out at me this morning in an effort to dim the pain that is flaring through my soul at the news that Lucasfilm and JibJab have partnered to do a retelling of Star Wars. On the one hand, I loved JibJab when it became the bleeding edge of political satire during the first Kerry and Bush dogfight 1000 years ago. On the other hand, why the fuck is Lucasfilm intent on taking the corpus of the one I loved and BEATING IT TO DEATH ALL OVER AGAIN?

thatneedslubeI'm a Star Trek fan. I grew up watching The Next Generation and you better believe I basically peed myself over the new movie. But TNG will always be my main Star Trek love. I can't help it. Captain Picard was smooth, suave, and intelligent. Commander Riker was, well, commanding (Oh, hello, post-pubescent self), and hell, I even liked Wesley Crusher. (I know, the masses hated him, but check out Wil Wheaton now, bitches.)
But let's keep it real. The main draw on that show was Commander Data, who was the smartest person on the show and also had a cat. He was my hero. I wanted to be that daughter he created, except not because, you know, she died. And Data had all the best toys (okay, everyone on the show did). Tricorders and the LCARS system and shuttles and, of course, PADDs.
Have I mentioned that the iPad is basically a Star Trek PADD made real and that while family and friends make fun of me I want one desperately with the passion of a thousand burning stars? No?
Irrelevant. Q and Data have used it and probably want it.
Your argument is invalid.
If it comes down to it, I will fight you on the streets for this. With my fists. And my robot-like lack of compassion.
