I can respect that you like Whedon, but just... no. Speaking as someone who doesn't like Whedon, I'd like to keep my Star Wars as Whedon-free as possible.

It's bad enough that Princess Leia can now technically be billed as a "Disney Princess" :/

CLEO!!! How we have missed you!! Twitter's good, but it just isn't the same as dear ol' LJ. I'm glad to see you back and posting - I've missed you and your posts and presence here.

I do hope you feel better soon. I have a lot of experience with anaemia - I hope it quits bugging you soon and lets you get well. Chronic Fatigue isn't fun, either. :( *HUGS and Sympathy*

Happy Halloween! :D

I don't mean this in a paranormal alien abduction way, but sometimes it just feels like I... lose time. I feel like the last time I posted was a couple of weeks ago, not a couple of months. I seem to not have a very good concept of the passage of time, is what I'm saying. I don't know if it has anything to do with the lack of energy or not.

Yeah, he's supposedly just a "consultant" and not in control. Which should be interesting.

I'm pretty much hoping for Pirates of the Caribbean but with lightsabers.

I'm actually not much of a Star Wars fan myself, so "not Phantom Menace" would work for me, generally.

Well, I'm still adjusting to the new glasses--still switching back and forth between old and new to get used to them--but I think they'll help a good bit. I'm hoping that's the solution to the 24/7 headache problem, once you rule out storms and air pressure as the unavoidable cause of the worst migraines.

GOD I WANT TO BE FINISHED WITH THIS THING

Aww, it's nice to see you around here again! (Just in time for... the coming LJcalypse? Or something like that, I suppose). Although I was hoping to hear better news coming from your health's front. =/ I hope you get better soon, this time for really real!

The cleotwitter's feed seems to be broken, did you know? I miss that too, seeing as I can't follow you there otherwise.

Hm, let me go look into that.

I saw something about that. I just don't even know anymore. I mirror all of this on Dreamwidth just in case, and I throw a few random things on Tumblr, and I spend a good bit of time on Twitter because "short bursts" is about the kind of energy I can manage... just please don't make me get a Real Blog, LJ, I just really don't want to bother with that.

I am strongly against this new Star Wars movies. The circle is complete, the story of Anakin's fall and redemption has been told.

I believe the expanded universe is garbage, poorly written junk. I hope they ignore that if they were to continue, but I sincerely hope they do not continue.

Harrison, Mark, and Carrie are all old enough that it would be along the lines of the last Indiana Jones movie in terms of bringing about new characters. If they attempted to replace Mark, Carrie, and Harrison as Luke, Leia, and Han, it would just be a slap to the face of everyone who ever worked on the films.

Leave the franchise and films alone. Let it be.

I honestly don't know how to feel about it, myself. I admit that my first reaction to "Disney Buying Lucasfilm" was OH GOD THIS CAN'T END WELL.

Always a pleasure to see one of your posts. Wish it could be under better circumstances.
(The storm, the latest LJ ****-up, and WHAT IS THIS STAR WARS I DON'T EVEN)

IDEK about LJ. I'm on like three or four different social media sites as it is, if we lose one engine I've still got a couple more. Either LJ'll stick around or it won't, and if it doesn't, I'll shift the weight to... Dreamwidth? I don't know. Que sera, etc.

Glad to see you back on LJ! Hope you feel better soon; I sympathize with the migraines.

Thanks. I'm still gradually breaking in the new glasses, but I'm hoping they'll get rid of (most of) the headaches. I'm also wondering if maybe the problem is dust around the house, or air ventilation.

Apparently I haven't been around enough either because I have no idea what all this LJ talk is about.

BUT it's good to see you, and I hope your health improves soon.

I don't even know. Every time LJ changes something, I can't tell if this is the event horizon, or if it's just One More Stupid Thing LJ Did. Because people can comment using Facebook, Twitter, etc., I have no reason to go anywhere--even if people leave LJ (and a lot of them have), they can still comment using a different social media account, and even if they no longer watch their friends lists, I generally link to anything here on Twitter, the way other people link to new blog entries. For me, even if no one else is here, LJ's as functional as a Real Blog, and ALSO I don't personally have to deal with tech issues.

Granted, everyone sneers at LJ as the Loser Platform, but they've done that for the entire nine years I've been here, so whatever.

Welcome back! Sorry things have been sucky. Anaemia is surprisingly horrible, isn't it?

It's sneaky, is the thing. I think I probably had it for at least a year before it came up in the bloodwork. Mine seems to basically manifest as mild but persistent fatigue, which could be anything, and half the time I forget that there's a reason for it. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I come down with every single passing cold or virus.

Great to hear from you!

I still can't muster up strong feelings about Star Wars. But I don't hate it any more so... that's good.

You know, "hey, who did John Carter?" did cross my mind at one point. I think that's the kind of person they'll end up hiring--someone who can herd cats, manage an effects-heavy production, play nice with others, and get the job done with some style, but not necessarily a VISIONARY AUTEUR OMG.

Yay! Glad you're back!

I am surprisingly zen about the new Star Wars movie. I have the Master Copy of Star Wars canon safely stored in my head--and the correct version of the original trilogy sitting around here somewhere on Laser Disc. So they can do what they want, because THEY CAN'T TOUCH ME

Hey, I'm so glad to see you post!

I hope you're able to start overcoming the health issues soon... being vegetarian I've had problems with not enough Iron and B12 and stuck taking supplements for a while, but I haven't in the last two years... hopefully you can find a way to conquer!

Hugs!
