So the wife and I along with a few friends got out to the Sunset Drive-In and saw Batman Begins, and Mr & Mrs Smith. Both films were really good. Batman was suprisingly well done. I think it was better than the Tim Burton Batman (and sequels) from a bunch of years back. Mr & Mrs Smith was a fun film, and I could really apprieciate the on screen chemistry between Brad and Angelina.
Anyway, I went to the pisser after Batman, and was entertained with some urinal markings. I thought I'd share.

I love watching other peoples' kids do funny things. And I don't mean a cute smile, or funny burp - but more like when they take a header, or smack into glass windows - shit like that. Or in this case, suck on a Webbles marker. This cute child is one of the offsprings of Mark and Lisa, friends of ours from Albion. They really are good parents, I just have a messed up sense of amusement.

Mike (Vanessa's husband) shows up today with a new slick toy - an Anakin Skywalker light saber (and for those keeping score, it also become Luke's light saber in Episode IV, until he gets it whacked off - with his hand - in Episode V, by none other than Darth Vader, who was originally Anakin*) from Master Replicas. Within minutes he was face to face with Dan Curto's** (resident Star Wars super guru) Dart Vader light saber. I happened to snap this lil diddy while the two were mocking a half-assed scuffle. This photo (like ALL the camera phone images) was not altered - those LED blades are bright! In case anyone is thinking of getting one of these for about $100-$120 (YMMV) - DO IT!. They are awsome. They light up, they make the sound effects, they have motion sensors for all the swishing sounds. Plus they also make the crackling sounds when they hit something. The blade is a pretty sturdy plexiglass (?I think?). And they're durable! You can whack someone, or something. DO IT! In the background you can see McCoy wishing he had something bright and red he could swing around.
Any way, I'm jealous. I want one. I want the Mace Windu one though - it's all like gold and purple an' shit.

** Dan's cube is also the inspiration behind our (Greg and I) undeveloped short film screenplay, "After Hours". You can see pics of a small part of his Star Wars cube decorations here. I'm jealous.
