Began a hazy gold morning with breakfast and Clone Wars. Duchess Satine isn't the only senator to be targeted by assassins. In "Senate Murders," Padme's dear friend Onaconda Farr of Rodia is killed by a poisoned drink after he advocates a bill in the senate that would end the creation of clones and slow the war. She and Bail Organa make their own inquiries to find out who wanted him gone.
Dressed the dolls for summer and the 4th of July after the cartoon ended. Samantha wears her sailor's middy and tam with the black stockings and black-and-white boots from her Flower-Picking Outfit. Josefina is in her original school outfit, the Indigo Skirt and Camisa. Jessa wears the red t-shirt from the original Blue Jeans Basics with a pair of shorts I bought from a craft show and Springfield collection socks and sneakers. Molly also wears a sailor-style blouse with her Camp Gowanigan shorts and baseball hat and saddle shoes. Whitney's ready to dance in the 4th of July Parade in her white dance dress with the red and blue sequins and bright red tap shoes that was originally sold at American Girl store shows. Ariel got the patriotic-themed peasant blouse Lauren sent a few years ago and Springfield Collection capris and white Swiss lace espadrilles. I left Felicity in her white and blue dress and cap. I really don't have much to change her into, and it works for the holiday.
I was going to have yogurt and a peach for lunch, but almost every peach in the bag I bought on Friday but one had begun to get too soft. I sliced them and make Peach Flummery instead. Returned to Clone Wars while I ate. Anakin plays a "Cat and Mouse" game with a notorious Separatist leader who was thought to be dead in a new ship that can turn invisible. He's supposed to be getting past the Separtist blockade and bringing supplies to the troops, but he would really rather use their new toy to break up that blockade.
"Bounty Hunters" honors Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, whose work inspired George Lucas as well as The Magnificent Seven films. Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan crash on the Seuss-like planet of Felucia after they discover that drone droids destroyed their hospital base. They end up helping a group of bounty hunters help farmers fend off pirates lead by Hondo Ohnaka.
Headed out to run errands around 1:30. First stop was the Haddon Township Library. I mainly wanted to return The Jazz Palace, which I finished this morning. Spent an hour shelving kids and adults DVDs. Both were overloaded - several didn't fit. I once again didn't take anything out. Don't know when I'll be in next week, and I still have movies I haven't watched at home.
Needed to make a few stops on my way home. Craft stores carry feather boas in all sizes. I found a sparkly purple boa at AC Moore that was just the right size for a toddler girl. Picked up a few items at Target that were cheaper there than at the Acme, including mouthwash and bandages. Realized I'd forgotten a card for Finley; ended up at a busy Dollar Tree, where I also picked up party cake ice cream sandwich for a treat.
Went into writing as soon as I got home. Rudy insists on going with Luke to Dagobah. He has a better idea of where it is than Luke and knows Yoda. He's not entirely happy that Luke is leaving the others, but Luke insists he has to complete his training, and Yoda is the only one who can do it.
Broke for dinner and more Clone Wars at 6:30. Made ground turkey and vegetable stovetop casserole for a quick dinner. We move from The Magnificent Seven to Godzilla with "The Zillo Beast." The Republic has awoken the beast from its underground slumber with a droid-destroying bomb. They have to figure out how to get past its near-indestructible skin. "The Zillo Beast Strikes Back" when they take it to Coruscant and it gets loose and ends up destroying part of the city.
The young Boba Fett is reintroduced in "Death Trap" when he joins a group of young clone cadets who are visiting the Jedi ship. Fett just wants to kill off Mace Windu, who killed his father...but he puts half the ship and the other young clones in danger when he destroys the controls.
It had been humid, hot, and sunny for most of the day. The clouds didn't move in until around dinner, and the thunder didn't arrive until I was online. The storm was brief, but it was big, very noisy and with buckets and buckets of rain. Thankfully, it doesn't seem to have done anything since.
Finished the night after a shower with 1776. I go further into this musical retelling of the creation of the Declaration of Independence at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.
