Metric Gnomes & Star Wars

Baby got skills,

and by "baby" I mean Jill.

Do you see my very pregnant sister-in-law doing a handstand?

I was standing right in front of her and saw her legs kick up

and then the baby sort of squiggled around as he moved towards her head.

It was cool in a very Alien sort of way. 

The boys wanted to join in once they knew that having a "big belly"

Yes. She was born in 1981.

Yes. She should have watched it before now.

She knows that, not only because I have cursed at  told her many times.
She knows that watching it in 2013 for the first time means the wonder and amazement at the cool special effects might be dampened.

She kept warning Tim and I that we should keep our expectations of her enjoyment of it low.

Here she is showing her pretend excitement at being forced allowed to watch...

 See, isn't it romantic?

All the robots and bun heads and heavy breathing!

I forgot how whiney Luke was.
I forgot how Chewy is like the Holy Spirit, interceding with growls and groans that words cannot describe.
I forgot how much I like R2D2.

Here is something else I like:
