G Wolf: When I was doing some refresher research before posting this entry, I read a LOT of stories about how tons of SE Luke card bubbles have lost their gluey powers. You are not alone.

Just checked on my Star Wars collection in the storage unit last week. I was lucky to get one of these SE Lukes. I picked it out of the box and the clear bubble fell right off. I’m sobbing here people. Dude, I absolutely love your site by the way. Me and you would be terror in the thrift stores together. Peace.

Whenever I spend the weekend away from the computer, I’m always overwhelmed to show up on Monday and catch up on everything. I was actually relieved to see no entry for yesterday.

Despite the long list of people Wikipedia gives as sharing my birthday, the names are pretty unimpressive. The most significant person is probably Forest Whitaker, though I was most pleased about Joe Satriani (and I always thought Scott Foley was adorable, so I didn’t mind that one.) Other awe-inspiring July 15th babies:
Brian Austin Green
Linda Ronstadt
Alex Karras (the dad from Webster, though I probably didn’t need to clarify that here.)
Jan-Michael Vincent
Brigitte Nielsen
Kim Alexis

Holy cow! This reads like the cast list from a modern-day episode of The Love Boat.

This was a great throw back for me, because this was when I really got into Star Wars and collecting.

My brother and I each got this figure, and my brother, being 7 at the time, ripped his open despite my plea’s, and threw away the package, mine however, got stored away. After going off to college and having my mom move my storage bins of star wars figures to the hot attic, I came home one weekend and quickly moved them back into my old room. It didn’t seem like anything major at the time, but about a year or two ago, my brother and I were looking through my figures, when I literally picked up the theater editions luke and said “this is probably the most rare one in my collection”. As I picked it up, the entire bubble slide off of the card, I guess due to the glue breaking down and never re-sealing properly in the heat of the attic. My brother burst out laughing because of all the crap I gave him about playing with his when he was 7. Even though this really sucked, it is my favorite memory of collecting, I still have the figure and the card, I guess some super glue will work for my display purposes, but come on, what luck is that?

Finally catching up on X-E. I was on media blackout due to impending HP arrival. Book, received, book read, I can interact with other humans again!
