Tom Simpson and the Raiders of the Lost Blog

Wow! Talk about your uber-geek time! Buy your own life sized X-Wing from eBay. Time to angle some deflectors and go in for the Death Star run! Check out the auction on eBay. I also saved a screenshot for when the auction expires.

Darth Vader has a blog! Who knew? Check out The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster.

Here’s a sample:

The problem is solved now, however. I crushed his trachea with my mind, and promoted Piett to command the fleet. I have transmitted to following note to Ozzel’s kin:

Dear House of Ozzel,

I regret to inform you that your son has been killed in the line of duty.

He was an incompetent, yammering boob and he will be missed by none. I have allowed the men to pillage his personal belongings, which is why we have enclosed nothing but the sole remaining item: a torn advertisements page from a magazine of midget pornography. May it shock and disturb you, and may you think of it always when you remember your dearly departed son, the ninny.

Know also that his limitations as a sub-par military professional caused the deaths of many of the Emperor’s loyal soldiers, whose funeral expenses will appear on your next tax assessment.

Sincerely,
D. Vader

Too harsh? I call them as I see them.

Chris and I were invited to my old roomate Reid Jones’s wedding reception. We stayed with Chris’s friends Linda and Bill, and of course I took a lot of pictures. Mostly of their kids, Chris’s godchildren, Evan & Emily. There’s also some around Old Town, VA, and the tidal pool by the Jefferson Memorial. You can check out the pictures here.

Ok, I’m probably one of the few Battlestar Galactica fans with HDTV and DirecTV and the Universal HD channel. But if you’ve got the same setup, be sure to check it out starting Sunday, April 10th. They’re also rerunning Monk episodes in HD.

I took a few more pictures in Woodbridge & NYC in March. A lot of very dramatic skies from all the rain we had.
