We had a smashing time at the Hollywood Bowl and John Williams appeared himself. A spry 87 year old.
Of course probably his most famous music is Star Wars (even though he also wrote ET, Jaws, and Raiders of the Lost Ark among many others), and so naturally all the Star Wars Geeks were there with their light sabers.

A fun time was had by all. And we may have gotten a little smashed. I have a big time hangover.
As you know I went a little nuts and started Cadet Ashayam on AO3. Hope to get another chapter up this coming week as well as Didn’t We Almost Have it All, The Space in My Bed, and we will see what else.
It’s hot here but at least we aren’t facing a hurricane. My friend J keeps sending me stuff on Earthquakes, the latest one telling me that a previously thought dormant faultline under LA is not so dormant! Good times. It’s all kind of fascinating really. There’s so much we don’t know about this planet.
Still working on getting the garage door fixed. It’s a long and developing project/thing. Hopefully by the end of September we will have a lovely new garage door! Sheesh.
I still have flashes and OMS etc to write too but with my head pounding today who knows. We also invited the cousin over for shrimp kabobs later.
Anyhow, that’s it in my world right now. Hope yours is stable, cool and healthy

I’m most worried about your stability!
(I don’t have to worry about any blizzards for at least another couple of months).
Yay! I’m so glad you had a good time at the concert. I knew it would be amazing. I’m happy it was!
Gimme more updates. Gimme all the updates!!

He showed up himself! That’s incredible. How lucky are you! And you didn’t take YOUR light saber? Just because we are lifetime addicts of ST doesn’t mean SW didn’t have a super special place in our hearts, especially my son’s. It meant everything to him, and when Han was killed, he was in shock for weeks – even more than I in WW. So you can imagine. He called wanting me to hurry and see the movie so we could discuss it. I took him to the very first SW movie when he was so young – it was a lifelong thing for us.
He watched ST, but…..not the same for him, though he did care for Kirk, much more than his mom/Spock thing. (He also thinks Denny Crane is EXACTLY what Jim Kirk would be, lifelong and at that age.)
John is STILL younger than Shat. haha
I was wondering about the door. I don’t understand how insurance doesn’t understand the word “emergency” and “further danger of loss.”
Like when my car was blatantly hit on a parking lot. No attorney would take me because I wasn’t physically hurt. Well, I WAS, but that hip was already injured and surgery was already scheduled so they said it’s impossible to prove. Like her tripping stuff off the front of my car before a concert wasn’t important if I wasn’t ripped up too.
I digress. So glad you went last night. Sorry for the hangover. I’m so lucky that even though I passed out schnockered, still not much hangover the next day. Just laundry from throwing up. Sheets are amazing things when you’re too dizzy to make it to the trash can you conveniently put nearby. But hey, 3 feet is 3 feet. Might as well have been on Jupiter.
I’m a giddy idiot about Cadet Ashayam and the 2nd chapter. And that you’re continuing it. Giddy. Idiot.
What keeps going through my mind is the theme to that song “I Want It All…And I Want It Now” about your fics.
Speaking of which, is that one you’re writing about? If not, I need you to reserve January for that one, ok?

Sorry. Your blog was hijacked. Spammed. Hacked. I can’t imagine who did that.

Indeed he did and conducted several of the songs played for him. You could tell he was absolutely delighted with the whole thing.
My sister is a big SW fan too. She loves ST but her heart truly belongs to both. I don’t know if she could even choose if you asked her. We knew about Han before seeing the movie because she likes to look up spoilers like someone else we could mention! LOL.
Insurance takes their time, plus it’s a holiday weekend, we’re still getting estimates, trying to come up with the money insurance doesn’t cover, AND we also have to have two neighbors sign a form for the HOA saying they are okay with our “improvements”, Bureaucracy man.
No, that is not one of the song fics! ha

The Hollywood Bowl looks so amazing!! I’m glad ya’ll have a smashing time! 🙂
I would have totally been one of those geeks with a light saber LOL but I do love his other work with Jaws, ET, Raiders, and Harry Potter. Dude is a legend!
I am loving Cadet Ashayam! Can’t wait for more!
I don’t know yet if Dorian will hit our area. Current projection shows its just going to skirt past and hit the southeastern corner of the state. So nowhere near us
Hope you have a wonderful week!
