\"Very<\/a>\"Very<\/a><\/div>\n

I am going to post a photo of a coffee mug every day in August, and talk a little bit about where we got it and why I like it.<\/p>\n

This is a very large Star Wars mug, given to me by my mother for Christmas last year. I am and always have been a huge Star Wars nerd. I saw Star Wars (not “Episode 4”, not “A New Hope” — that crap came much later) when it opened, and over a dozen times more before I was 11.<\/p>\n

As it happened, Susan and I watched the Phantom Menace<\/a> this afternoon. First we watched the Red Letter Media review<\/a>, which is both hilarious and insightful. Then we watched Hitler’s reaction to the Phantom Menace<\/a>, which is, surprisingly, also hilarious and insightful.<\/p>\n

In a strange bit of synchronicity, we had Black Swan<\/a> (another Natalie Portman movie) on Netflix sitting here, so we watched that afterward. Strange film. It reminded me of American Psycho<\/a> — what is real, and what is in the main character’s imagination? I won’t give anything away, but I will say that Black Swan is slightly less surreal than American Psycho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
