well, we're here. did the drive in about ten hours. my enjoyment was greatly amplified by the purchase on an i-book. not just any ibook.

'the rise of darth of vadar.'

set about a month after episode iii ends, it has much of what episodes i-iii lacked: real depth of character, interesting plot twists, plus it has good sound effects.

mrs wintermute is awesome for indulging me. but truth be told, within an hour or two, we were discussing the plot twists and noting key trivia (like name of bail organa's wife, and the name of the asteroid where padme died). the coolest part of the book is that it gets inside anakin's head and shows how miserable he is to be darth vadar. the suit sucks for him.

around 8 we roll into town and hit skyline for dinner. i had supressed my expectations in fear that it could have been an honest but inferior homage. nope. it's the real fucking thing. it tasted so good. and there was tons of cincinnati stuff on the wall. in fact, there were many of the high schools' memoriabilia on the walls, but none of the gold old aviators! it made me proud of of hometown for 20 minutes, i have promised myself to bring them some kind of sycamore t shirt on my next trip. it's amazing, but not only does mrs. w dig skyline, but her room mates do, too (one of them is from ohio).

relaxing at home felt like being on the set of scrubs meets grey's anatomy. the three of them launched into clinical speak. i was like errr, i don't understand anything you're saying. the part of about how when you open the stomach cavity, intenstines pop out like snakes from a joke can, and are in fact really warm, was pretty interesting.

oh yeah, there are lizards everywhere.
