Senate Report: Beyond All That Harry Potter Distraction and Anniversary Jazz....

Article by Amanda Chryso

So there was a knock on my door at around noon yesterday. Hobbie came in and said he wanted to me to write the Senate Update after he had bugged me for an hour on who in the SW affiliation should get awards. I gave everyone platinum. Is everyone cool with that? But for the report, IÂ’m not sure what he expected me to write down since I send a slave to the Senate meetings and attempt to read his footnotes on the meetings only every now and then. That reminds meÂ… I should feed DmitriÂ…. HmmmÂ… Anyway, the rumbling of his stomach distracted me. So what has the Senate been up to?

It may look like the Senate has been quiet as of late, but I blame the 30th Anniversary. Everyone has dug out all their movies and ran mini-marathons watching the movies and only stopping to attend MajinÂ’s Trivia events. Then thereÂ’s that Harry Potter distractionÂ… But reallyÂ… we have been up to no good as usual. We have some plans for the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars, but IainÂ’s updates caused us to pause for bit. Other than that, weÂ’ve been gathering some material to update the chatroom with including avatars, etc. Also some finishing touches were made on the Senate timeline, so that will be updated soon too. Of course, we are still going to do MajinÂ’s report for when he went to the Star Wars Celebration. This stuff was kind of delayed and now we donÂ’t want it to interfere with the OTF Anniversary, but we promise we are going to get some stuff out.

Other than that, everyone, including the Senate, Hobbie, and I are in the OTFÂ’s 10th Anniversary mode. There are the awards and there are all the goodies that comes with the Anniversary to think about. So Hobbie gave me more work and told me I actually had to do something this month. So IÂ’m doing somethingÂ… enjoying The Blue Report Senate Report? WaitÂ… that didnÂ’t look right. The report on the Senate in The Blue Report? WeÂ’ll go with that.

Seriously, did I just hear someone whine that they want Bria back? You know whatÂ… IÂ’m going to back to bed. Either IÂ’ll be woken up again for next month or you might get Bria back. I havenÂ’t decided. But by the way, while IÂ’m writing something let me set the record straightÂ… I do not just randomly shoot Mr. Luc Deathstryke as last monthÂ’s The Blue Report showed. My publicist has requested they admit their mistake and point out that Luc has deserved it every time I have shot him out. I feel better now.

Seriously thoughÂ… I hope everyone has enjoyed the Anniversary. Hard to believe itÂ’s been 10 years since we found nothing to do online together. Everyone has worked hard and this is a great time to reflect upon not just the decade weÂ’ve been online, but also give credit where it has is due to help us get through another year. LetÂ’s just hope that Hobbie makes it to next yearÂ… although if he keeps waking me up for these silly meetings in attempt to say we have to get things doneÂ…
