Clones!

Yay! As planned Jason and I went to see
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones last night (or rather, early this
morning) at 12:01am, the first showing on opening day. We went down to
Lowell around 7:30ish, picked up the tickets and then had dinner at the
Outback next to the theater. Around 10 we went to get in line. By that
time the line had just started to go out the back doors of the theater.
We ended up being in about the middle of the line. Around 11:15 they
started letting people in the theater. We managed to get some fairly
good seats, kindof far back and toward the right side.
Around midnight the trailers started, and there were a bunch of them,
including The Matrix Reloaded, which looks pretty impressive (due out
in 2003.) The movie itself is great. Much much better than Episode 1.
Jason thinks it’s nearly up to the level of Empire, but I’m not so
sure. It’s definitely good, but I still think I put the original 3 above
it. It was considerably less happy than the first one, with a lot more
fighting and plotting and stuff. I’ll have to drag Andrea to see it with
me sometime soon, probably once the crowds die down a bit.
In other news, work is going well. Finally sorted out a very annoying
problem I was having today, which makes a pretty good milestone in the
project. We’re headed over to the hydro plant in a little bit to update
the software. Should be good stuff.
