Ngamana owesine angaba nawe

Njengoko sisondela kolunye lweentsuku ezingcwele kwi-nerd-lore, Ngamana umhla we-4 [abe nawe], ndikhunjuzwa ngebali lobomi bokwenyani lomntwana owayefuna iilekese zasimahla kunye nethuba lokuphuma yedwa.

Kudala-dala, kwindawo ekude kakhulu, kude kakhulu “iiStar Wars” yayiyeyona bhanyabhanya isengqondweni yomntu wonke. Ngokuqinisekileyo yayisengqondweni yam. Lonke ixesha.

"Ubukhosi buBuya umva" babungekaphumi, ngakumbi ii-prequels. Abahlobo bam kunye nam saqokelela amanani ethu esenzo kwaye senza umdlalo ngokuchanekileyo njengoko sikhumbula. Le yayi-pre-intanethi kwaye ngaphambi kokuba uninzi lwethu lube ne-VHS, ke siyigcine imovie iphila njengesiko lomlomo njenge "Iliad." Ndimalunga ne-10 kwaye xa ndandijonga esibhakabhakeni ebusuku, ndandifuna ukuba ngomnye wala manani ezenzo.

Emva phayaa, iHalloween yayibubusuku bempambano, xa abazali babebakhulula abantwana babo kwaye bethembekile ukuba bazogoduka xa bediniwe. Kwakuyixesha apho eyona nto inokwenzeka ukuba yenzeke kuwe yayibalekela kubantwana abakhulu abanokuthi baphange ukukhupha kwakho. Sasiqala ukubetha iminyaka xa iHalloween yayisisizathu esivakalayo sokunxiba njengoyena mntu umthandayo esidlangalaleni. Uya kuvuzwa ngeelekese zasimahla! Nawuphi na olunye usuku kwaye abantwana abadala baya kukuqhula ngokungenanceba.

Lo yayingunyaka xa udadewethu uMarcia wayewile kwisithuba seminyaka phakathi kokuphuma ukuya kuthatha iilekese kunye nokuhlala ekhaya ukuze ayidlulise, ke yena wagqiba kwelokuba andincede ndakhe ikhostathi. Wayefuna ukwenza into enomdla, enobuchule, enamaqhinga. Bendingafuni ukuba yenye yezona zininzi zikaHan Solos okanye uLuka Skywalkers ojikeleza kwindawo ebumelwane. Ubuncinci abahlobo bam ababini bebeceba ukuba nguHan Solo, ke bendizakuba sisiSolo esibi emva. Nam bendifuna ukufudumala. Njengabahlobo bam, bendikhe ndaya kuba yi-hobo okanye umsebenzi wokwakha iminyaka emine ebaleka, ngenxa yesimanga seColorado kwikhephu lokuqala lonyaka eliwela kubusuku beHalloween.

Mna noMarcia sahlala phantsi sacinga ngesinxibo. Ndifumene ipakethi yamakhadi okurhweba nge "Star Wars" ngaxa lithile, ke saqala ngokujonga kwezo. Njengokuba bekukho amakhadi ali-10 kuphela epakethini kwaye kuba ndingafuni ukuya njenge-tie-fighter okanye njenge-Princess Leia, sahlala kwi-Tusken Raider-umntu oyisanti. Besinentloko entle ekhadini esiza kusuka kulo, kodwa ukufumanisa yonke impahla, ndiboleke isenzo somntwana kumnyango olandelayo. Umfanekiso kunye nokubamba ngesandla, saqokelela izinto saza sasebenza.

Ukuba awukhumbuli kancinci okanye awunakukhumbula isidalwa esibonise uLuka Skywalker entloko kwaye wazama ukumkhwaza kwangoko kwimovie, ngoku lixesha lokuba ukhangele iwebhu ngokudubula iTusken Raider. Ngokusisiseko banxibe i-humanoids ehlala entlango enemigogo, i-ventilator kunye neempondo zentsimbi ezingaqhelekanga ezikhupha kwimisonto efana nokusongelwa ngumama.

Senze i-ventilator yam ngokugoba ipleyiti ye-aluminium ukuze ilingane emlonyeni wam kwaye isilaphu selaphu elimnyama sancamathela kwiscreen. Iigogs zam yayiziikomityi zekhathoni zamaqanda ezimbini, isilivere eyayipeyintwe. Iikomityi zeebhokisi zeqanda ezininzi zazisongelwe entloko ngegauze. Ukugqibezela lo mculo, ndanxiba ingubo endala endinxibe isitayile se-poncho, kunye neebhutsi ezimdaka. Ndathwala isiphatho somtshayelo ukuze ndiwangawangise ngentla kwentloko yam ngexesha elifanelekileyo. Ndandihleli.

Ngelishwa, konke ukulungiswa kwakunzima kakhulu kubahlobo bam ukuba bathwale. Xa ilanga ekugqibeleni lalitshonile ezantsi elundini, kwaye iiflakes zokuqala zaqala ukuwa, zaqokelelwa kulwahlulo kwaye zazihambile, sele ziduma kwiswekile ehamba ngokukhululekileyo yexesha. Ndiphume ndaya ngaphandle kamva, ndijonga ngokupheleleyo icandelo: umlinganiso wembonakalo ongazange abonakale ngokungathandabuzekiyo yeyona bhanyabhanya ibhloko ibhloko ngalo lonke ixesha. Bendiphefumla i-cocktail yepeyinti kunye ne-glue fumes nge-pie plate. Ukujonga kwihlabathi liphela kwiindebe ezimbini zekomityi yeqanda, bendikwilizwe lam.

Kwakungaphandle kombuzo wokuba ndiphume ndiye kulala ndedwa ebusuku, kuba iibhokisi zeqanda zazingavumeli nakuphi na ukubonwa kwemida kunye nemisi ebhajwe ngaphakathi kwento yokuphefumla ibichaphazela izakhono zam ezintle zemoto. Nokuba ndincediswa ngabasebenzi bam bemfazwe / intonga yokuhamba, kwakusafuneka ndikhokelwe ndiye kwindlu ngendlu. UMarcia wandikhapha esiya kwizindlu zabahlobo bakhe, kwaye uninzi lwezindlu eziphakathi.

Xa bevula ucango, abaninimzi abangalumkanga badibana nomntu ababengamazi, bewangawangisa intonga ngentla kwentloko, besenza ingxolo eyoyikekayo, "Gluuurrrtlurrrtlllrrrr!" Ndijonge ukunyaniseka. Inyaniso mayixelelwe, yiyo yonke loo nto ishiyekileyo kubuchule bam bokuthetha, nokuba kunjalo, emva kokufaka umsi wepeyinti kwiibhloko ezimbalwa.

Iminyango embalwa yayixatyelwe. Kodwa abanye, uninzi lwabo badlula ezi zinto zingena ngeminyango yezokhuseleko, bathathe nje umva babuza umva, "Unokuba uyintoni, mntwana omncinci?" ngaphambi kokuphosa ilekese kwisingxobo sam somqamelo. Impendulo yam eyodwa kuyo yonke imibuzo "Gluuurrrtlurrrt!" yayingelolona lwazi lwaneleyo ke ngoko uMarcia wayehlala ekhuza kuba ndandiyiTusken Raider (yintoni?).

Abanye babahlobo baka dadewethu abapholileyo babenamaxesha okukhumbula ngesiquphe kwaye basondela ukumangaliswa kukuchukumiseka okuyinyani kunye nomsebenzi owawungene ekhayeni. Ndaziva ngathi ndiyinkwenkwezi endaweni yokongezwa.

Emva kokuhamba iibhloko ezimbalwa kwaye ipleyiti yam ipapa ivela amaxesha ambalwa, ndirhuqe ingubo yam ndaza ndagoduka. Khange ndifumane ilekese eninzi njengabahlobo bam ngaloo nyaka. Bafika ekhaya bephethe iibhegi ezinobusi, behambe iimayile kwaye bephanga iindawo ezikude kude. Ngokwenene ndibuyele ekhaya ndinento ehlala ixesha elide kunezo bhokisi zincinci zeerasintyisi. Ndibuyele ekhaya ngokuzithemba ukuzama izinto ezazingaqhelekanga kwesiqhelo.

Kwakuloo nyaka, ndafunda ukuba ukuba uthatha umngcipheko kwaye TOO wahlukile, ngekhe ufumane iilekese ezininzi. Ukusukela ngoko nangona kunjalo, ndiye ndafunda ukuba ukuba uyayivumela iflegi yakho ye-nerd ukuba ibhabhe, awuzukuphila kuphela, kodwa unokufumana intlonipho yabantu abanokubalisa. Abantu bakho baphaya, nantsi indlela yokufumana. Wonke umntu uphuma ngaphandle kwinto ethile, ngakumbi kunabanye. Inokuba yenye yeeklasikhi ezinje ngeelwimi zekhompyuter okanye i-sci-fi, kodwa ungaphuma ngaphandle kweemovie okanye ezemidlalo, ukupheka, ikofu. Nantoni na.

Ukuba ukhe wazibhaqa uxelela umntu, "Ezi ayizizo ii-droids ozifunayo," kwaye wawanga isandla sakho kumzamo olilize wokutshintsha ingqondo yomntu, unokuba sisidenge. Ngokukhawuleza ukuba uyazivuma ngokwakho ukuba ungumntu onobuqili, kwangoko ungaphefumla kwaye ubenguye. Mhlawumbi ungazukungxola, "Urrrrgluuurrrtlurrrtlllrrrrr!" kwaye endaweni yoko uhlebeze, "Ngamana owesine angaba nawe."
