There's just so much going on right now that I don't even really know where to start. I know I've been quiet for a while because - surprise! - I've been sick again. Yep. Last Monday, my body decided to quit on me and gave me a fun little cold/mini sinus infection. So far I haven't required a trip to the doctor; I've just been taking my cold meds on a regular basis and hoping again hope that it will go away soon.
But - surprise - it put us behind on training. Again. I'm going to try and readjust it as best I can, but I think from here on out, we're just going to have to do our best. I think we'll be okay, but it will be a little harder because we won't be quite as prepared as we were hoping. We're going to keep up with our schedule as best we can from now until race day, and I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed for no more illnesses!
In regards to the running costume, I got together with a couple of good friends the weekend before I got sick and had a "Sewing Weekend". We all worked on various projects, and I brought along my Asajj running costume. The only part I really managed to complete was the belt (and it's not really complete). I ran into a snag with the belt buckle - didn't like my original idea. I think that's going to get scrapped for another idea that's still in the making. I was originally going to go back to JoAnn Fabrics on Monday night to pick up what I needed, and then - wham - sickness. So that will probably be a weekend project for me.
In other fun news, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has a Blu-ray release date. I'm seeing it all over my blog feed, with lots of news about deleted scenes, different covers released at different retailers, as well as who has what exclusives and whatnot. It's insane. I'm going to have to do research just to figure out where I want to go buy my copy so I can maximize my features. (Which is funny because - despite my good intentions - I really only ever watch deleted scenes and that's it.)
I remember the good old days when I just took my money down to the local Media Play (anyone else remember those?) and bought my VHS Star Wars Trilogy. Yep. Those were the days.
I'm seeing a lot of Episode VIII pictures and "spoilers" pop up on my blog feed, too. They're little things that don't really matter much in terms of spoiling plot lines, but I think they're pretty fun. They're definitely fueling my little brain. I'm excited for the return of Mark Hamill, and I really can't wait to see what he has in store for us. He's always been one of my favorites.
The other major thing I'm waiting on is Rogue One news. A trailer. Something! It sounds like some "footage" was shown to Disney Shareholders as a recent meeting, but it really didn't sound like much more than we've already seen here and there on the internet. Maybe we'll get something soon...
Until the next time, may the Force be with you!
