I AM BACK ON!

Hello all! I am back in Rhode Island and I have to say it is good to be home. It is cold as a well digger's ass and I am loving every second of it. Not too much has changed since I have been gone but it is nice to be back in civilization and out of that shithole Savannah. God Bless the North!
Anyway I did something really cool yesterday. My mom got me and my dad tickets to something for Christmas. I had no idea what it was other than I was suppose to go to Boston. So Yesterday at a disgustingly early hour, my father and I drive up to Boston's Museum of Science. They are having this Star Wars exhibit there called Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination. Essentially it talks about the different technologies in the Star Wars film and relates them back to what is going on today. For example there is a special feature (special in that you have to buy extra tickets for it) where you climb aboard a mock millennium Falcon, get in the cockpit and you tour the galaxy and learn about all the latest discoveries. In the exhibit itself there are demonstrations on different types of transportation technology, medical technology, robotics, and communication. All of it tying into Star Wars and the stuff you see in the movies and then relating it back to real world. The Robotics was especially interesting. Aside from that they had very impressive collection of Star Wars props and models from the movies. If you are into concept design for film or model building as I am this is really really a treat. Every major spaceship in the Star Wars galaxy was represented. These models were amazing, and they were actually used in the shooting of the film. I will definitely post up more of them for all to see.
I highly recommend going to check this out. It isn't a huge exhibit, it will take no more than an hour or two of your time but it was really interesting. Plus, like everything else at the BMS, it is interactive. So go, bring the kids, and have fun.

PS, They also have a pretty neat gift shop with lot of Star Wars related toys, games, puzzles, books. Nothing you can't find anywhere else but it was still fun to look at everything.
