Today I am blogging from the road. Far from home. All the way out in Huntington Beach, at the Bella Terra. Tonight I am spending my Halloween at Buffalo Wild Wings. It is opening day at the restaurant and Raina's official first day. What a day to be opening a restaurant up. It doesn't seem like this would be the best day to be opening up. Aren't most people busy today. Trick or treating or going to parties. Even Raina and I originally had plans for tonight. We were going to go see a movie. The theater here at Bella Terra is playing Young Frankenstein for one night only. It would have been cool to go see, but we got something better in the trade off. Raina is working tonight instead of working Saturday. So we can spend Saturday together. Which is going to be necessary considering I won't be seeing her the next couple days. She will be working both nights. Also considering that tomorrow is our anniversary for when we got together. That's right, 14 years together tomorrow. I originally told Raina that the anniversary had been replaced with our wedding anniversary, but she wasn't having it. She said that she has put in too much work all these years and wasn't giving it up. So we celebrate both now. Oh we'll, it's just another excuse for us to go out. Might as well take advantage of it.
Yesterday, George Lucas sold Lucasfilm and all the Star Wars rights to Disney. It was promptly announced that there will be a new Star Wars live action movie coming out in 2015. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Excited about the prospect of a new movie coming out and a continued storyline. And at the same, worried that there is a possibility that all the nostalgia and history and great storytelling could be ruined by a new movie. I want to hold out hope of something great being done with the Star Wars franchise. Maybe that TV show they had rumored all those years ago. By the way, 4.05 billion dollars? That is a ton of money. George Lucas has more than enough money for the rest of his life. Probably enough for him, his kids and all his grand kids. Disney will get there money's worth if they are smart about it. Star Wars, always a smart investment.
