The three-day weekend (so far).

Well, I have Monday off of work, so it's a three-day weekend. On Friday and Saturday, I watched most of a DVD (Garfield: the Movie) I borrowed from a friend of Diana's. I got together with Harry and Saturday morning and finally saw The Simpsons Movie. We met up with Liz and had lunch. I also spent a lot of time playing my "LEGO Star Wars II" game this weekend:

On Friday night, I finished the story. I got to fly the Millenium Falcon, blasting away at Star Destroyers and then flying into the heart of the new, mostly finished Death Star. I got hit a lot, mostly by TIE fighters and several times by these lightning-zapper guns in the Death Star's core. The zappers disabled my ship briefly, enabling the TIEs to hit me with ease. After completing the story mode, I completed my collection of bounty hunters and tried a bounty hunter mission. It took me two tries, but I was able to catch R2-D2 as Boba Fett. My next target: Obi-Wan Kenobi.

On Saturday and Sunday, I spent a lot of time doing Free Play on "LEGO Star Wars II," using Boba Fett, my custom character (Black Hooded Dave Skywalker, a Jedi with a black-hooded cape, black clothing and gloves, and a blue lightsaber), and even a Stormtrooper I bought over the weekend. I got True Jedi Status on some levels and raked up enough studs to get the extra "Invincibility," allowing me to take hits without dying and without losing significant amounts of studs. I also bought the extras "Super Blasters" and "Super Lightsabers," though I'm not too impressed with the latter extra. It makes the lightsabers look a bit on the pink side....
