Dateline Stanford: Star Wars, etc.

I saw _Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace_ this week. The cool thing about that is that I went to the 12:30 AM showing on Wednesday (Thursday morning technically) and only bought tickets an hour and a half beforehand over the phone. To think that some people camped out for over a month to go only 24 hours earlier than that seems sort of insane.

Anyway, I enjoyed it, and am looking forward to a second viewing in the next few weeks. I'll avoid spoiling any of the plot details for those who haven't seen it.

In other news, the Spurs defeated the Lakers 103-91 today to take a 3-0 series lead. Can you say "championship"? I knew you could.

Oh, and I also found out today that I got lucky in the housing lottery and will be able to stay on campus next year, possibly even keeping the room I already have.
