Achinayi Akhale Nanu

Pamene tikuyandikira limodzi la masiku opatulika kwambiri mu nerd-lore, May 4 [khala nanu], ndimakumbutsidwa za nkhani yeniyeni ya mwana yemwe ankangofuna maswiti aulere ndi mwayi wopita yekha.

Kalekale, m'dera lakutali, "Star Wars" inali filimu imodzi yomwe aliyense ankaganizira. Izo zedi zinali mu malingaliro anga. Nthawi zonse.

“The Empire Strikes Back” inali isanatulukebe, mopanda ma prequel. Ine ndi anzanga tinasonkhanitsa ziwonetsero zathu ndikuchita zochitikazo molondola monga momwe tingakumbukire. Izi zinali intaneti isanayambe ndipo ambiri aife tisanakhale ndi VHS, kotero tinkasunga filimuyi kukhala yamoyo monga mwambo wapakamwa ngati "The Iliad." Ndinali pafupi zaka 10 ndipo pamene ndinayang'ana kumwamba usiku, ndimafuna KUKHALA mmodzi wa anthu ochitapo kanthu.

Kalelo, Halowini unali usiku wamisala kwambiri, pamene makolo anamasula ana awo ndikudalira kuti apita kwawo atatopa. Inali nthawi yomwe chinthu choyipa kwambiri chomwe chingakuchitikireni chinali kukumana ndi ana akulu omwe angakuwonongereni. Tinayamba kufika m'nthawi yomwe Halowini inali chifukwa chokhacho chomveka chovala ngati munthu amene mumamukonda pagulu. Mutha kulipidwa ndi maswiti aulere! Tsiku lina lililonse ndipo ana akuluakulu amakusekani mopanda chifundo.

Ichi chinali chaka pamene mlongo wanga Marcia anagwera mu kusiyana kwa msinkhu pakati pa kupita kukatenga masiwiti ndi kukhala kunyumba kuti apereke, chotero anaganiza zondithandiza kupanga chovala. Ankafuna kupanga chinthu chosangalatsa, chopanga, chanzeru. Sindinkafuna kukhala m'modzi mwa ambiri a Han Solos kapena a Luke Skywalkers omwe amayenda mozungulira mozungulira. Anzanga osachepera awiri anali kukonzekera kukhala Han Solo, kotero ine ndikanakhala Solo scrawny kumbuyo. Ndinkafunanso kukhala ofunda. Monga anzanga, ndidakhala hobo kapena wogwira ntchito yomanga zaka zinayi zikuyenda, makamaka chifukwa cha zodabwitsa za Colorado za chipale chofewa choyamba cha chaka chomwe chimagwa pausiku wa Halloween.

Ine ndi Marcia tinakhala pansi kulingalira za chovala. Ndinali nditapeza makadi ogulitsa "Star Wars" nthawi ina, kotero tinayamba ndi kuyang'ana mwa iwo. Popeza panali makadi 10 okha mu paketi ndipo popeza sindinkafuna kupita ngati womenyana kapena Princess Leia, tinakhazikika pa Tusken Raider - munthu wamchenga. Tinali ndi chithunzi chabwino pa khadi loti tichokeko, koma kuti ndizindikire chovalacho, ndinabwereka chithunzithunzi kuchokera kwa mwana woyandikana naye. Chithunzi ndi chithunzi m'manja, tinasonkhanitsa zipangizo ndikuyamba ntchito.

Ngati simukukumbukira pang'ono kapena osakumbukira za cholengedwa chomwe chidawombera Luke Skywalker pamutu ndikuyesa kumuwombera koyambirira mu kanema, ino ndi nthawi yoti mufufuze pa intaneti kuti muwombere Tusken Raider. Iwo kwenikweni ndi ovala mikanjo okhala m'chipululu okhala ndi magalasi, makina olowera mpweya ndi nyanga zachilendo zachitsulo zomwe zikutuluka kuchokera kumaso ngati amayi.

Tinapanga makina anga olowera mpweya popinda mbale ya chitumbuwa cha aluminiyamu kuti ingokwanira pakamwa panga ndipo kansalu kakang'ono kansalu kakuda kamamatiridwa pa skrini. Magalasi anga anali makatoni awiri a makatoni a mazira, siliva wopaka utoto. Makapu enanso amakatoni a dzira anakutidwa pamutu panga ndi yopyapyala. Kuti nditsirize kusonkhanako, ndinavala bulangete lachikale londivundikira ngati poncho, ndi nsapato zauve. Ndinanyamula chogwirira chatsache kuti ndigwedeze pamutu panga panthawi yoyenera. Ndinali wokonzeka.

Tsoka ilo, kukonzekera konse kunali kochulukira kwa anzanga kupirira. Dzuwa litatha kulowa m'chizimezime, ndipo zoyambazo zinayamba kugwa, zinawunjika pazigawozo ndipo zinali zitapita kale, zikuwombera kale shuga womasuka wa nyengoyo. Ndinatuluka panja pambuyo pake, ndikuyang'ana gawolo: munthu wozungulira yemwe sanawonekere mu kanema wamkulu kwambiri wanthawi zonse. Ndinkapumira utoto wa penti ndi utsi wa guluu kudzera mu makina opangira mpweya. Kuyang'ana dziko lapansi kumapeto kwa makatoni awiri a dzira, ndinali m'dziko langa.

Zinalibe funso kuti ndiyenera kupita ndekha usiku, chifukwa makatoni a dzira sankalola masomphenya aliwonse a m'mphepete mwa nyanja ndipo utsi womwe unali mkati mwa makina opangira mpweya unali kusokoneza luso langa loyendetsa galimoto. Ngakhale mothandizidwa ndi antchito anga ankhondo/ndodo, ndinafunikirabe kutsogozedwa khomo ndi khomo. Marcia ananditengera kunyumba zingapo za anzake, ndipo nyumba zambiri zapakati pake.

Atatsegula chitseko, eni nyumba osazindikira anayang’anizana ndi munthu mmodzi yekha amene sanamzindikire, akugwedeza ndodo pamwamba pa mutu wake, akutulutsa phokoso loopsa, “Gluurrrrtlurrrrllrrrr! Ndinkafuna kuti ndikhale woona. Kunena zowona, ndizo zonse zomwe zidatsala pakulankhula kwanga, nditatha kung'ung'udza utsi wa penti kwa midadada ingapo.

Zitseko zingapo zinakhomedwa. Koma ena, makamaka omwe amadutsa pazitseko zachitetezo, adangobwerera mmbuyo ndikufunsa mwachidwi, "Ndiye uyenera kukhala chiyani, mwana? ndisanaponye maswiti mumtsamiro wanga. Mayankho anga amodzi pamafunso onse "Gluuurrrrrrrrt!" sichinali chidziwitso chokwanira kotero kuti Marcia nthawi zambiri amadandaula kuti ndinali Tusken Raider (chiyani?).

Ena mwa anzanga ozizira kwambiri a mlongo wanga anali ndi mphindi zokumbukira mwadzidzidzi ndipo adayandikira kudzazizwa ndi kukhudza kwenikweni ndi ntchito yomwe idalowa mu chovalacho. Ndinamva ngati nyenyezi m'malo mowonjezera.

Nditayenda pang'ono komanso mbale yanga ya pie ikuphulika kangapo, ndinakoka mkanjo wanga ndikumamatira kunyumba. Sindinapeze maswiti ochuluka monga anzanga chaka chimenecho. Iwo anafika kunyumba ndi zikwama zodzaza, atayenda mtunda wautali ndi kufunkha madera akutali. Ndinkabwera kunyumba ndi chinthu chokhalitsa kuposa mabokosi ang'onoang'ono amphesa. Ndinabwerera kunyumba ndili ndi chidaliro kuti ndiyese zinthu zomwe zinali zosiyana pang'ono.

Chaka chimenecho, ndinaphunzira kuti ngati mutengapo chiopsezo ndipo ndinu osiyana KWAMBIRI, simungapeze maswiti ambiri. Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, ndaphunzira kuti ngati mutalola mbendera yanu kuti iwuluke, simudzapulumuka, koma mwina mudzapeza ulemu wa anthu omwe angagwirizane nawo. Anthu anu ali kunja uko, umu ndi momwe mungawapezere. Aliyense amangokhalira kuchita chinachake, ena kuposa ena. Itha kukhala imodzi mwazodziwika bwino monga zilankhulo zamakompyuta kapena sci-fi, koma mutha kusokoneza makanema kapena masewera, kuphika, khofi. Chirichonse.

Ngati munadzipezapo mukuuza wina kuti, “Awa si ma droids omwe mukuwafuna,” ndikugwedeza dzanja lanu mopanda pake kuti musinthe malingaliro a munthu, mutha kukhala wopusa. Mwamsanga mumadzivomereza nokha kuti ndinu wopusa, mwamsanga mumatha kupuma ndikungokhala chomwe inu muli. Mwina yesetsani kusakuwa, “Urrrrgluurrrrrrrrrrrr! ndipo m’malo mwake munong’oneze kuti: “Lachinayi likhale nawe.
