Plans/goals for weekend:
1. See Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (tickets already arranged for tonight).
2. Get a replacement hubcap (oh, i haven’t been posting the car saga, have I?).
3. Finish posting Hawaii photos.
4. Get some sleep.
Re: #1, we tracked down a copy of Clone Wars Volume 2, which is much heavier on story than volume 1, and looks like it leads up to about 5 minutes before Episode III begins.
Saturday: Free inspection finds nothing but a burnt-out taillight and an air filter.
Wednesday: Brakes start making scraping sounds.
Saturday: Sleep in too late to take car in.
Monday: Brake rotors are glazed and need to be resurfaced. Upon arriving at work, brake pedal starts pulsating. Call service department, leave voice mail.
Thursday: Brakes are worn down (but mostly under warranty) and get replaced.
Saturday: Brakes get tested as freeway drops from 75 MPH to about 5. Tires skid on the newly-paved and painted road, burning rubber and leaving flat spots in the front tires. Ka-thunk, ka-thunk, ka-thunk.
Sunday: Replace tires.

Did you borrow or buy?
Borrow. AFAIK it’s not out on DVD yet, but my parents taped it. Thankfully the chapters are 10-15 minutes this time instead of 3, so it’s not unlike watching an hourlong show with commercial breaks.
I’ll see if they’re willing to let me sub-lend it or make a copy (we only have one VCR).
