Finished the Trilogy or Working on my OWN Time?!?!?

I just finished reading the Timothy Zahn post original trilogy series of Star Wars books. I'd read the first one WAY back in 1992 but had lent out the next two to Rob shortly thereafter. Having gotten them back before he left (after about 10 years!) I decided to finally go through them. All I can say is wow! What a great job he did with characterization. By the end, I was totally hoping that Grand Admiral Thrawn wouldn't croak, as he was super interesting. Mara Jade had an intriguing dynamic going on and the returning dudes held up very well. I would have to say that the books would make excellent movies, although that'll never happen at this point in time... what with the cast being senior citizens and all. Maybe a CG one?
I actually took something from work home today. We were given these new sheets to keep track of inbound and outbound buses which were not only a bitch to follow, but horribly small and confusing. Instead of organizing the thing by in and out sections, the two were all meshed together incomprehensibly. I took it upon myself to make new ones that would function better for all my co-workers. It only took about an hour, but the results are lightyears beyond the crap we had to work with before. Hopefully the powers that be don't get all offended that I went and fixed up their botched paper though...
Apart from reading, I've not been doing a whole hell of a lot lately. Oh wait.. I did finish Star Wars Republic Commando for the Xbox, which was a super awesome game. Exactly what I was looking for in a different approach to the Star Wars universe. Seeing things from a soldier's perspective was fresh and the personalities of the troops were interesting enough to keep the minimal storyline worth following. It ended a little too quickly, but was definitely worth the 8 hours or so of my life I put into it. Check it out!
