Fairly .
@Proudfoot: Yes, I was in London with my girlfriend (and the weather held, for the most part!). Which is special in itself, because it's a long-distance thing, and we don't get a lot of time together (now she's on her way back to AU ). Beyond that, we mainly did the tourist thing, visited museums, palaces and stuff, and - oh! London Dungeon! Okay, let me get the full list down (or at least some of the major points. My brain is quite fuzzy): Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Tower Of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Aquarium, London Zoo. Shopping. Stonehenge. Woodhenge. Avebury. Bath. Lots of shopping! A Jack the Ripper tour. And a chocolate tour which I sadly had to duck out of because I was feeling ill. British Library and British Museum (though only some of it, was running low on time), and the London Eye. Big Ben. Houses of Parliament. That's all I can remember for now.
And London Dungeon, which I thoroughly enjoyed - it's a combination of historical education and cheap thrills, provided by actors and mood-setting sets. It was thoroughly entertaining. And more shopping - my girl surprised me with a trip to Forbidden Planet. It's supposedly a rather famous geek shop - though I hadn't heard of it, but that's not surprising, and isn't indicative of anything about the shop itself - and I thoroughly geeked out. We don't have such shops in my area, you see, so I was like a kid in a candy store (which I also visited), and had to restrain myself quite a bit.
Phew. Sorry, I'll stop. _________________ I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it. These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.
