Libby has had a cold for maybe the last week or so. It's mostly of the stuffy nose variety.

>sniff<

While I never want Libby to be sick, I don't always mind when it happens because it means we get to eat a lot of soup. And there's nothing wrong with soup. This time we went out for soup twice and I made soup twice. That's like 4 soups. With leftovers, it's probably like 6 soup-based meals. Whoa. Me likey.

Another thing about Libby having a cold is that sometimes when she sleeps her breathing kinda sounds like Darth Vader. Sure, that sounds cute, but you have no idea what it's like to tiptoe into a dark bedroom and worry that you might be climbing into bed with The Dark Lord of the Sith. Mainly because that dude is for sure not gonna want to snuggle no matter how cold it is in here Mister Bigglesworth. Think about it. We're talking about a guy who wears black shinguards ALL THE TIME when HE DOESN'T EVEN PLAY SOCCER. All he's going to be interested in is getting a good night's sleep so he can get up early and start using the force for evil not good.

It is some seriously freaky stuff.

So now I'm wondering: what would Darth Vader sound like if *he* got a cold? (Can he even get a cold?) It seems like he's already pretty much a full-time mouth breather, so my bet is that he would pretty much sound the same. (Especially if he used a breathe-right under his helmet.) That probably works out for him anyways, because if his minions saw that their leader had a cold it might make him seem somehow less all-powerful in their eyes. And if I know one thing, it's that leaders of evil Jedi splinter groups *hate* looking weak in front of the troops.
