This is the bio that never ends...

A long, long time ago, in a movie studio far, far away, George Lucas made a very smart decision: He let other people direct his movies. For The Empire Strikes Back, he signed up Irvin Kershner. For Return of the Jedi, it was Richard Marquand. This was a smart decision because, as we witnessed with Episodes I through III, George Lucas isn't exactly the best movie-maker ever. A shame given the quality of some of his other work including Episode IV, but the truth never-the-less.

In a quiz tonight which featured a round called Better Halves, it was only fitting that we also had a question to remind us about George Lucas' better thirds. Ask any Star Wars aficionado and the argument isn't "A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi?" It's just "Empire or Jedi?" I for one am incredibly grateful that Lucas relinquished his vicegrip on the Star Wars property to Disney, and that future stories told in the universe he created will be helmed by filmmakers who, at this point, are much more capable of telling a midichlorian-free story that I actually want to see.

We're entering a golden age of Star Wars, one chock full of JJ Abrams lens flares. While the original triology will always hold a special place in my heart, here's hoping the new films can achieve the impossible and become the better half.

This is the bio that never ends...

It all started with Snake. That unbelievably addicting, easy yet challenging game that came pre-loaded on so many Nokia phones. I think I remember seeing it somewhere as Nibbler, too. With that, time on the porcelain throne was instantly transported. #2 time went from perusing Uncle John's Bathroom Readers when they were available (and memorizing shampoo bottle ingredients when they weren't) to the latest place to game.

Mobile games have evolved considerably since then. I remember one pre-smartphones phone taught me how to play Backgammon. There were other card games too, resembling the Games folder on a Windows machine... Even if the graphics never were all that good. After Snake the one I got the most mileage out of was definitely Tetris, with the seeming impossibility of boredom from repetition. Then came the advent of smartphones, and everything changed again.

It started for me with Tower Defense. That was the first time I realized that I could have one of those majestic, leg-numbing experiences previously only available courtesy of a good book*. Then came Angry Birds. Ohhhh Angry Birds. Not just the core game, mind you. Seasons. Rio. Space. Star Wars. Bad Piggies. Now Friends. So many birds, both useful black and completely worthless green. So many pigs and blocks to break. And for an obsessive completionist, so many golden eggs to find and levels to 3-star.

Others have come and gone with my waxing and waning attention span, but I always, inevitably, wind up back with Rovio's masterpiece. Candy Crush Saga has been a sweet mistress lately (pun intended), but I know who I'm coming back home to at the end of the night. How about you? What game is your favorite way to pass bathroom time? 

* - Of course, now my Kindle app has taken that whole experience to a new level, too!

This is the bio that never ends...

Tonight I was approached by a quizzer with a methodically produced list of teacher positions that her team was convinced I held one of. Let me make one thing clear: I am not a teacher. Nor should I be. Anyone who has been to one of my quizzes knows this. Anyone who has ever had a conversation with me probably knows this.

My theory is this: I am excellent at being Brendan. I know what Brendan is good at, and I know what is not Brendan's cup of tea. I put myself into situations that I can succeed in, and I avoid those which I cannot. When I want to do something that I cannot succeed in, I trip over my own shoelaces and put my own foot in my mouth until I find a way to make it work.

Know what's great about that? It works for me. Know what isn't great about that? You can't impart that sort of wisdom on another. "Hey kids! Be Brendan! It's awesome!" Yeah, that doesn't work. Unless you're Brendan, which you're not. 

Stacy Watch 2013: Still pregnant. 

Bachelorette Party Private Event Watch 2013: Nope. Someday, my friends. Someday.

P.S. - The Village Idiots are back. Hide your kids! Hide your wife!
