First Post



Hello. My name is Katherine Rothley and I am a student at Michigan State Univeristy. I'm not really sure what to talk about for a first blog so I'll go with the general topic of movies.
One of my favorite movie sagas is Star Wars. Even though I was only a little kid when the older trilogy came out, I grew up watching the movies. The robots were funny, I love R2D2. Darth Vader is also very cool in my opinion. I am infatuated with the idea of becoming and being a Jedi and wish that I had the force. Their uniform or clothing is very cool too. It looks very comfortable. It is a desire of mine to own an X-wing, even though they don't actually exist.
I had an opportunity to see young children train in the Jedi Academy at Disney Land in California this summer when I went there to visit relatives. I wished that I could have participated but I am too old for the age group they had in mind.
My family and I also rode the Star Wars ride there. It was entertaining even if it was a bit predictable. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have much apparel for Star Wars in the gift shop, it was mostly mickey mouse and Disney stuff rather than Star Wars.
Kill Bill is another favorite movie of mine. I am fascinated by Japanese swords and the fight scenes with the Japanese sword in them are amazing. It makes me wish that I knew how to use one, not to kill, but to look cool doing all those moves. I went to a few kendo club meetings at the beginning of this semester but because of the amount of homework and studying I need to do for my classes, I was unable to continue going to kendo club meetings.
