"As casting gets under way for the next installment of the Star Wars saga, the George Lucas-run company has announced it's seeking a more culturally diverse cast this time around. Although Lucas' script is far from finished, Lucasfilm casting director Robin Gurland has met with major talent agencies to outline several new roles. These include a Native American character, said to have a forceful, spiritual nature; an Indian or Hispanic character; and an Asian character, possibly trained in martial arts. Paging Hong Kong superstar Jet-Li; Jet-Li to the casting office, please." i'm popping a vein! i'm popping a vein! i'm turning into she-hulk! rargh! "a more culturally diverse cast" (...) "a Native American character, said to have a forceful, spiritual nature; an Indian or Hispanic character; and an Asian character, possibly trained in martial arts." what???? what is wrong with people? hello? did they forget to mention "An African American character, possibly running drugs and selling space hookers"? this is so dumb i might be having a blood clot forming as i type. gah. --- as the bus driver across the street decided that i don't know how the buses run despite daily commuting the same routes for over 2 years i stepped off the bus and heard me saying "this makes me ANGRY!!" i promptly fell over laughing. she-hulk i am, i am. --- yesterday i left school early, found jessica at work and promptly stole her off for a late lunch (her treat - oo!). of all the things that baffle me nowadays, the fact that i can literally walk over and have laugh attacks with jessica in real life after having gotten to know her half across the world over a computer is just... wow. oh, that reminds me, i still have ice-cream left over from the lunch waiting for me at home! yey! erm. my thoughts are fluttery. i like that. mmm, ice-cream and jessica. --- and then angela and garrett stole me away for an evening of old navy, wal mart, cheap pizza buffet, university mall and massive hanging out and talking time to make up for it being over a month since we last met up in real life. i like long sentences filled with good things. i got to experience garrett getting a pair of sunglasses and figuring out how they work. it took a while before he realised that glasses come with a really, really nifty feature - if you put them on OVER your ears, they STAY on, no hands! ah, kids. or rather, ah, garrett. :) my favourite treat was finding large clear bottles filled with blue liquid at wal-mart. it was called a jungle drink or something like that, but i didn't care. it was blue. i bought two. it's so fucked up, but i've said it before and i'll say it again - i am obsessed with ingesting blue food items. if steak came in fluorescent blue, i might kiss vegetarianism goodbye. i think it's because blue is the most unatural colour on food that exists. hence when i drink or eat something blue, it feels totally hi-tech and android like. lame lame lame, i know. i don't care. i don't even care that the drink turns my tongue and lips blue. bwa ha ha. and i only like BLUEberry yogurt, even though the actual colour of it is purple. mwa ha haaa. okay, now i'm just plain loopy. i'll stop typing. --- "a Native American character, said to have a forceful, spiritual nature; an Indian or Hispanic character; and an Asian character, possibly trained in martial arts." RARGH!! *pops a vein* NO CARRIER
