I read it in about 3 hours.

Wow.

Actual commentary when I've had time to absorb it a bit better.

Actually, I have two, now. I just made one, called oya_manda which is, obviously, for Mandalorian stuff.

Is shiny!

So I went to the solstice party that a couple of friends were throwing. Booze was served, fun was had, and finally, as generally happens sooner or later when fen attend parties, geekery occurred.

A couple of the guys were talking about the new Alien/Predator movie, and one of them said that he was really sick of the one-note warrior cultures in different media. He cited the Mandalorians as an example, then said "sorry" to me, but already the conversation was off and running. People talking about how much they hated having them in Star Wars, how they were overused, etc. To which I shrugged and said something about there being something in Star Wars for everyone.

But then the original commentator started talking about how awful Karen Traviss is, and how she's ruined the books, and I thought "what is this, high school?" But I didn't say anything because really? Not worth it. Karen Traviss has probably a bazillion dollars; she doesn't need me to defend her honor to my overly excitable friend.

But then he said something that really puzzled me. "She said that there were only 3 million clonetroopers. I get the impression that she's a real bitch."

And I'm sitting here feeling like the underwear gnomes on South Park. Like I've missed something somewhere. Step 1: Only 3 million troops. Step 3: What a bitch.

WTF?

Later, I was sitting around, being tired (at this point I'd been up for about 16 hours, on not much sleep the night before) and he asked what was wrong. "Is it because of what I said about the Mandalorians?"

All I can think is, he takes this all much more seriously than I do.

Because I don't have enough going on in my life, I've decided to learn Mando'a. Which is the language of the Mandalorians, as is being created by author Karen Traviss.

Mostly, this is inspired by the possibility of muttering things under my breath that won't get me in trouble at work. Things like di'kut (idiot) and mir'osik (dung for brains).

If I'm going to have to be stuck at the register with Carmen the Alarmin', I need the edge.
