1.Who is your favorite OT character?
Chewie, with Ackbar a close second.

2.Who is your favorite EU character?
Wedge, if that counts, because we don't see much of his personality in the OT and he really comes to "life" in the EU, same with Ackbar ... strictly EU it's hard to pick, it changes all the time.

3.How's you get your screen name?
It's nickname for the name I usually use online, delphica, but that was already taken on this board. I checked the profile, and that person has not ever posted (in more than a year)... I wonder if there's any way of asking for that name.

4.Who is your favorite EU author?
Stackpole

5.What other series do you like?
Tad Williams's Otherland, Harry Potter, Stephen King's Dark Tower

6.Do you like butter or margarin better?
(you know, there always has to be a truely enlightening question)
Butter. Margarin reminds me of going to my grandmother's house, and I suspect my grandmother thinks we are all still living during the Great Depression (only margarin and she reuses baggies).

7.Tell us a bit more about you.
Ummmm ... SW freak, I like to read a lot, I have a cat ... I have to stop before I realize how boring I am.

8.Do you like your coffee black?
I like my tea black.

Hi everyone.

 

Welcome delphy. I know how you feel on the name front. I've used this one for ages, but now when I sign up to newer boards, someone has already taken it.

One black tea for the newbie.

It's great to see people coming back into this place.

 

Augh! Page 6! Up! Up!

Where has everyone been? Jeez!

Welcome newbies!

*Grabs a cafe mocha to go.*

(Oh, btw, up to the top!)

 

Oops,

Come on in guys, talk.

And here's your mocha JJJedi.

 

I just saw 2 good movies. Old ones.

"The Russians are Coming" and "The African Queen" They were on TV. Awesome movies. Made me laugh. Good stories.

 

Never got around to watching the African Queen, what's it like?

 

hey, longtimenosee

i saw "Gon in 60 Secons" yesterday, and was impressed.

Kadue, I'll have your most expensive drink

 

60 sec was good.

Most expensive, only Bill Gates could afford it, but there is no way he could stomach it. My own version of death by chocolatte

 

Well, Bill Gates can't afford a decent haircut. I've had dreams of death by chocolate. Yes, i said dreams. Yep.

Anyway, what are the topics for tonight? I didn't bother to read above except for the top 2 posts.

 

Nothing much, the activity has been a bit slow here. I think everyone is still trying to read all of Kathy's books. Or like me, can't find them.

 

[Downs death by chocolate, runs hurridely to restroom, long pee]

 

African Queen is about this British woman who convinces this British fisherman in the Congo to take her down the river to fight the Germans, on his boat, the African Queen. They go through all sorts of dangers and troubles and stuff and fall in love. Its a pretty famous movie. I liked it.

 

The last movie I saw was Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (again) last night.

 

Haven't seen too many movies recently, stupid uni work.

 

poor Kadue!!

hmm
i'm getting ready for April 3rd and Conquest..
anyone else?

did you know that there is a new Ender book out?

its the sequal to the last book Ender's Shadow... but its called Shadow??or Rise of the Hegemon


looks good

 

Its called Shadow of the Hegemon. It is the sequel to Ender's Shadow, which is a parrelle book to Ender's Game. Ender's Shadow is about Bean's life before he got into the training, and what he did during Ender's Game. Its cool.

Shadow of the Hegemon is about as different as Ender's Shadow as Ender's Game is to Speaker for the Dead, Ender's Game's sequel.

I loved Shadow of the Hegemon. My favorite Card novel. And it leaves it open for another sequel!

 

April 3rd will be a strange day for me. It's the 5th anniversary of my beloved aunt's death. And Conquest comes out. Yaaaaayyyy! I guess that defines life in a nutshell: Lot's of ups and downs. One thing will make me very sad and the other will make me very happy.

 

WEdge..NOOOOOOOOOO
i don't think i'll be able to buy it..
so i thinki have to wait until summer to read it

but with such a good report!!!!!
i can't wait

but dang it speaker of the dead confused teh crap out of me until someone explained it to me!!!!

ahh well
priya

ahh well all is good

 

hey guys..only 6 days until CONQUEST !!!

whoo sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

 

Can't wait.
