Sith Me!!

Well the last country in the world to receive the latest Star Wars installment has finally gotten it. It's a little crazy. I bet Osama Bin Laden, in his cave along the Aghan-Pakistan border, hooked up to his dialysis machine, has seen this before me. Oh well, better late than never. Saw this with a bunch of other semi-nerds like me who has all watched the previous Star Wars flics beforehand to refresh our memories. Oh yah, Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father. That was good to keep in mind while watching watching Episode 3. So what did I think of it? Lots of action - that's good. Great Jedi stuff - that's good. Yoda and Palpatine in a lightsabre duel - that's good. Almost no sign of Jar-Jar - that's really good. Sucky romantic dialogue - ouch that was bad. Anyways, I'll review this as well as the other new movies I've seen recently on my other site.
In other news, with all my week days off I've picked up a few extra weddings. I was hoping to get something close by, perhaps in my prefecture, or even in Osaka. But no, I got a bunch that are in Shikoku again, a completly different island. Have I become the Island wedding guy?? At least it was at a place that I've been to before, the Ciel et Mer chapel in Utazu. Utazu isn't very exciting, it's much smaller than Tokushima, the city where I usually go to. In fact it is pretty much filled with recycle (2nd hand) shops and pachinko parlours. The chapel very big and beautiful though. The main attraction in town is the 'Gold Tower', a shiney golden tower that stands near the water. For those brave or foolhardy enough to pay to take the elevator to the top they can enjoy the cafe there. Oh yah!

We also had another visit from Yukiko's sister Keiko, her husband Seigo, and their little girl Yuka.

Taking a break from the crawling.

Up close and personal
