And yet -- that picture makes my ears look big. I don't usually do the "What XXX are you?" thing, but this one humoured me.

Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not - for my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life greets it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us, and binds us. Luminescent beings are we, not this crude matter! You must feel the Force around you, everywhere.

It's all Star Wars, all the time around our place these days -- this morning, Naomi, while getting dressed, was clutching the ESB Princess Leia, and the ANH Luke (who happened to be wearing Darth Maul's cloak). Frances said she was a little worried, since she had seen Naomi putting Luke and Leia under a pillow together.

And from the G-man, overheard at hockey last night:

Parker Orchard: "Gareth, you're the smartest kid in our class!"

Gareth: (In incredulous tone) "I know!"

Funny.
