So the new Star Wars trailer was released, and I figured it would be a good time to post 5 facts about the Star Wars films. Enjoy.
1. Yoda was originally going to be played by a monkey with a cane and a mask.
2. While filming lightsaber scenes, Ewan McGregor kept actually making the sounds of the lightsaber with his mouth, and they had to remove it during editing.
3. In an early version of Star Wars, R2-D2 was supposed to speak English and act like a jerk.
4. "I have a bad feeling about this" is a line of dialogue in every Star Wars film.
5. The disco version of the Star Wars theme was a No. 1 hit for two weeks in 1977.

Mad Mondays: The Blog Awakens
Welcome, readers.
So the new Star Wars trailer looks awesome, just gotta throw that out there. But anyway, I'm not going to talk about it, there's not much about it that I want to say, except that I'm super pumped for the movie.
Anyway, this Mad Monday is kind of special because it's the first Mad Monday after NaNoWriMo, and also conveniently coincides with the first week of Advent. Just as the church year (for some of us; depends what church calendar you're following) begins at the end of November, my blog sorta does the same thing. NaNoWriMo is like the end of the blog year. So, I want to start this year off strong, with regular content, cute plushies, giant bananas of death, glow-in-the-dark blankets, and cheese.
Thank you for reading!

P.S. Everybody remember the postman (christened Ted by Hyperlinkzer)? Well, guess what, he's coming back. Weekly challenge will be for you guys to find him on my blog. I'll hide him somewhere new every Mad Monday. Winner might get a reward of some kind, I'm not sure what yet. Anyway, I've hidden him somewhere on the website for this week! Search the blog, ye readers. Find Ted and comment with his location.
