(Heh, and the number of posts here has jumped from 1242 to 1410. Tch, the counter really should be updated more regularly.)

Right, wot a day it's been, eh?
Chapter 13 is finished (hoorah!) and chapter 14's been started. Hee, and now I have an excuse to go browsing internet porn, it's called research.
<shifty> Not that I do much of that normally you understand. Moving right along...

The M cub fell over at lunchtime today and whacked his elbow. By the time I picked them up he was complaining about the pain. Didn't stop him wanting to see Revenge of the Sith again though.
It's not that I was bored, exactly, but I managed to have a lovely nap during the first part of the movie. I woke up in time to catch Kenobi's final duel with Grievous, one of my favourite bits. Getting past the whole 'plot device' grimble with Grievous I can now appreciate just how good his design is. And Kenobi, well, I'm liking his character more and more - I think Eyecandy McDrooly did a splendid job.
What are those feathered lizard called? It's fantastically sure-footed and absolutely fearless! Did you see the places it was venturing at Kenobi's bidding? Not being forced to it either, simply leaping off the edge with a lizardy 'wah-haay! <g>
'3PO still annoys me, he has a 'glib assurance' subset to his programming. In the distance we can see that something has obviously gone horribly wrong at the temple and what does he say to Padme after he tells her Anipoohs is over there? "Don't worry - I'm sure he'll be all right." Tch. Protocol droids.
And finally... That flower-filled coffin was very Lady of Shalott, wasn't it?

By the time we got home the injured cub had a thumping headache, not helped, I'm sure, by his insisting we sit right up in the front row to watch the movie. Anyway, gave him some paracetamol and his father (the health professional) checked him over and strapped up his elbow - and put his arm in a sling, very exciting - while I dug something icy out of the freezer. Rest Ice Compression and Elevation, of course.
There's some swelling and he doesn't have a lot of range of movement in the joint at the moment but I think if it was something serious the paracetamol wouldn't be working as well as it is. I could be wrong. We'll see how he is in the morning.

Joules has been finding the time to do some drawing and so far she's produced three sketches of the new AC's version of Vejiita, Raditz and Zha'haabron. Good sketches, too, despite her worries about not having drawn anything for ever such a long time.
The new charas are markedly different, physically, from the originals but it's going to work well. The tweaks to the species are interesting and plausible and open things up for us to have even more fun with them! : )
