You are Bastila Shan. To most, the Jedi order is
more than a vocation; it is a calling. To a
select few it is much more. Bastila Shan is the
quintessential Jedi: trained from a very young
age and gifted with a natural ability with the
Force that has given her both renown and
considerable pride. Despite her youth, Bastila
is skilled in the rare art of Battle
Meditation... through sheer force of will she
can influence the course of a battle. One side
is given courage and strength while the other
is sapped of their will. This ability alone has
put Bastila into the forefront of the
Republic's plan to defeat the Sith.

Bastila is brash and impulsive. She is
overconfident and seems to walk invincible
through her world, though that is hardly the
case. Bastila is well aware of the
responsibility that presses down on her
shoulders. Her Jedi masters urge her to be
cautious, but Bastila turns every fiber of her
being towards defeating the Sith menace and
proving herself to the Jedi. No one doubts that
she will one day be a great Jedi... but at what
cost? Bastila possesses all the qualities that
separate those special few destined to leave
their mark on history, but her very youth and
determination may be what ultimately consumes
her. She has much to learn, and little time to
learn it as the Sith menace continues to gather
its strength.

Even in the dark halls where the Sith Lords gather,
young Bastila is whispered to be a Jedi of
note. Who knows the terrible cost of such dark
praise?

Huh...dunno if this is good or bad.

Saw ROTK today.
How is it possible a long-haired blonde, tight-wearing prettyboy kicks such unholy amounts of ass in battle? It's LOTR, not anime.

Current Mood: chipper

A (somewhat) late concert review:
Okay, the concert was Wednesday, but here's my review:

I am deydrated, soaked in sweat, half-deaf, and have lost my voice.
In short: I am one happy, happy man.

So um, Dropkick Murphys, live and in concert here in Montreal.

Every punker in Montreal seemed to be there, I’ve never seen so many glue-spiked hairdos in my LIFE. Pretty nice guys, though.
And of course, some idiots…my friend Rob saw a guy do a line of coke, apparently.
Sucke din enough second-hand smoke to equal a pack of cigarettes.

First, the opening bands:

Avoid One Things. Not bad, nothing spectacular, but not bad.

The Casulaties. Intensity…they’ve got it. Sadly, their style of punk is precisely the style that kept me from getting intereste din the genre for so long, loud ‘FUCK YOU! FUCK THE MAN!’ punk. While they’re very good at that style (and were obviously highly anticipated by the heavy punkers in the crowd) not to my taste…just sounded like noise to me.

The Murphys….ah, the Murphys. They sang loud, they sang proud. Energy like you wouldn’t believe. Had hlf the females in the crowd up there for the Spicy McHaggis Jig, had half the CROWD up there for Skinhead on the MBTA. Played damn near all my fave songs of theirs (No Gauntlet though, grrr…), though were a little heavy off their most recent album. Bagpipes were a little weak sadly, but considering how loud everythign ELSE was, you couldn’t notice much. They had a good time taunting us Montrealers (almost all Canadians fans) with ‘Time to Go’…a song about the Boston Bruins…but shit, the crowd got into it.
Grand total: maybe, 2 songs I didn’t know the lyrics to. The entire CROWD was wild at this show, it was *awesome*.

The show cost me 25 bucks Canadian, plus 3 for a bottle of water.

Best 28 bucks I have EVER spent.
