My sister sent me this:

Ok this is a two part name. To get your first name you
take the first THREE letters of your LAST name, and
then the first TWO letters of your FIRST name. Then to
get your last name you take the first TWO letters of
your MOTHERS MAIDEN name, and then the first THREE
letters of the TOWN you were born in. Got it! Good!


My Jedi name: Curer Jochi

A guy asks his best friend for some advice on asking a girl out.

His friend suggests, "Take her out to see the latest movie, then go to a nice dinner, and finally take her for a drive up the mountains. Find a secluded spot, park the car, look her in the eye and say 'put out, or get out.' This works every time for me."

The guy thinks this is a good plan, but then again, he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer either. Anyways, he picks up the girl, they have a great time at the movie, a wonderful dinner, and she has a sparkle in her eye when he suggests they drive up the mountains.

After finding a secluded spot, the guy parks the car, looks the girl in the eye, and says, "Get out, or I'll put you out."



(P.S. This is not good advice for a first date. )

If what you say is true, then she certainly doesn't mind looking at you. What this means in her mind is still a mystery, though. For all you know, she could be simply entertaining the idea of talking/being with you, but would never actually do so.

My advice: You know she's leaving, so ask her about where she's going. Make her talk about what's going on in her life - there's no better way to find out than to hear it from her. Does she know where she's going, where she's going to live, how long she's going to be there, etc. Casually say something like "I know we don't talk much, but I'll probably miss you when you're gone." Just try make it sound like you would miss her as a friend.

I really wouldn't expect too much from her if she's leaving soon. She ultimately may not be interested in that way, or may not want to start something that'll end so soon, so don't be thinking that you may "hook-up". At the very least, this will be your chance to have a heart-to-heart talk with her, so you don't spend the rest of your life wondering what you could have said to her.

Of course, if it turns out she's not interested, or one of you gets embarrassed, then she'll be gone in two months, and you'll be able to get on with your life.

Recent Lucas Comment Regarding Esp. #7...

Gary Kurtz, the producer of ANH and ESB, spoke at the Sci-Fi Expo in Plano, TX this weekend along with his daughters Tiffany and Melissa (as children they played Jawas in ANH). He shared with the crowd about meeting Lucas, leaving the Star Wars films and the original plans for the entire saga.

Back in the early 70s, Kurtz was looking to use the new Technoscope technology in an upcoming film. Francis Ford Coppola hooked him up with George Lucas who had recently filmed TXH-1138 with Technoscope. Kurtz became interested in Lucas' planned American Graffiti and the partnership was born.

When the time came to produce ROTJ, Kurtz was unhappy with the story direction Lucas was taking. He felt that it was too much of a rehash of the first films with no real challenges. At the same time, Jim Henson was inviting him to produce his experimental film, Dark Crystal, which he chose instead.

Kurtz gave TPM a mixed review as he was clouded by plans made for Episode 1 back in the early 70s. As someone involved with Star Wars from the initial concepts, Kurtz revealed the original intentions for the nine films as they were laid out BEFORE 1980. Very interesting.

# EPISODE 1: Was to focus on the origins of the Jedi Knights and how they are initiated and trained

# EPISODE 2: Introduction and development of Obi-Wan Kenobi

# EPISODE 3: Introduction and life of Vader

# EPISODE 4: There were seven different drafts of the film. At one point, they pursued buying the rights to Hidden Fortress because of the strong similarities. At one point, Luke was a female, Han was Luke's brother, Luke's father was the one in prison (interesting point for some debates) and the film featured 40 wookies

# EPISODE 5: Once written, the screenplay of Empire is almost exactly what is seen on screen. The only cut scenes were those involving wampas in the rebel base (cut because of time and unsolved technical glitches) and about two minutes of Luke/Yoda Jedi training with no real dialog.

# EPISODE 6: Leia was to be elected "Queen of her people" leaving her isolated. Han was to die. Luke confronted Vader and went on with his life alone. Leia was not to be Luke's sister.

# EPISODE 7: Third trilogy was to focus on Luke's life as a Jedi, with very few details planned out.

# EPISODE 8: Luke's sister (not Leia) appears from another part of the galaxy.

# EPISODE 9: First appearance of the Emperor.
