    Speaking of scientists... You know you've chosen the right topic for the MA thesis when you've spent a full page (and counting) explaining what "the Kessel Run" is. :) Yup, that's what I'm doing...

    Oh, my! That sounds incredibly awesome. Gotta say, I'm a fan of this particular subject. ;) If I had to guess, I'd say astrophysics. With all the black holes and asteroids and nebulae.

    Haha, sorry to disappoint you guys, it's not as fancy as you imagine! :D I study English and, broadly speaking, my thesis is about translation. It has a lot to do with semantics and, since TFA is my research material, there's a lot of Star Wars exposition going on. :)
    Well, the Kessel Run has to be a route that smugglers used to escape with spice from the planet Kessel. What's more interesting is the parsecs thing (I analysed the whole Rey's line "made the Kessel Run in 14 parsecs"). It actually makes total sense that they used them as a measure of time (as opposed to distance) when you think about how hyperspace works in Star Wars. A better navigation system maps out shorter, more precise routes. The shorter the route, the faster the travel. So "to make a distance in X parsecs" is like an in-universe colloquialism. ;)

    So, tickets to Garth Brooks in Tacoma went on sale this morning and immediately sold out. Out of what I think is extremely good business sense and a kind heart, they added 4 more shows and a friend of the family got tickets and is taking my wife. I am extremely excited for her.

    I was walking down a steep hill the other day, on my way back home from a short hike and at the bottom of the rock face I came across a small grey owl. It was perched on a tree not high off the ground with it's eyes closed. I starred at it for a little while.. and then I realized.... Hayden Christensen just sucks.
