Entry 11

It's been an interesting day.  Mace was right, purple lightsabers really do show up best from a long distance, especially in a large crowd.  We discovered that when we got separated in a skirmish near the Outer Rim.  Hundreds of battle droids, an equal number of clones, several dozen assorted Jedi, and Anakin and I coming in on a low flying transport. We were ten meters up and twenty meters out, and we could still see Mace ripping thru the crowd like a rancor at a tea party.

This constant fighting is starting to get old.  At least the Jedi don't march like the clones do. For some reason it really gets to me when I see the clones marching, every time they march by me, I start to get this strange, yet annoyingly catchy whistling tune stuck in my head.  I have no idea where it comes from, but it is maddening and I am really tiring of it.  Once I fell asleep with that tune in my head and I started to have weird dreams about building a bridge just so we could blow it up.  Its madness I tell you, madness madness madness.

Anakin has also taken a much greater interest in politics all of a sudden.  He never cared about politics before, except to oppose any position I might have on any given issue.  Now all of a sudden he is following the goings on of The Senate, and one Senator in particular, like it was his life's work.  If he thinks I don't know what he is really interested in then I have greatly underestimated his estimation of my intelligence. In order to see how those to feel about each other, one only need posses the gift of sight.  Anytime some one mentions her name he gets a look that reminds me of a Wookie at an all you can eat buffet.

I also had a recent run in with Buckethead Junior.  The kid has started dressing like his blueprint.  I knew that kid would start to become trouble.  He's a long way from being another Jango, but he is definitely on the path.  I was able to get rid of him however, thanks once again to those poorly designed Mandalorian Rocket packs.

All I had to do was hit it, with a nearby arm that used to belong to a battle droid and the poor kid went flying off to unknown places.   Little Buckethead was so proud of them too. Maybe someday they won't be such a liability.

I also need to figure out whose idea of a joke it was to give me an inflatable handmaiden as a birthday gift.  Anakin thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen, but I really didn't appreciate it.  I eat one brownie at one Senatorial party and the next thing I know everybody and their Uncle George is making jokes about me having a thing with one of the handmaidens.  How many times do I have to say, I am not interested in that sort of thing.  Okay so a little fantasy never hurt anyone., but I am a Jedi and that just isn't allowed.  No matter how much some Padawans wish it were otherwise.  On the other hand, things could have been much worse.  At least I didn't hit the brownies until after the Gungans left.
