Darth Toothache
I think until now I haven’t had any idea about pain until last night. I am hanging out for the compulsory two months waiting period before I go to the dentist (signed up for health insurance). I have six weeks to go. After last night I don’t know how long that will last for. Every time I closed my eyes and lay down, pain surged into my jaw. I couldn’t take anymore painkillers due to the six in 24 hour limit imposed by some health regulators. They obviously haven’t felt what it’s like to have a toothache so bad that you can’t sleep at night and need to sleep sitting up because for some crazy reason, sitting up in bed is the only position that I can sleep in without pain. Weird. If I can’t lie down tonight I am going to lie on the couch sitting up and try to sleep that way.
I went out last night and saw a great movie.. *coughs* Starwars, Revenge of the Sith. I swear I had no idea that Anakin “it’s not fair” Skywalker was going to turn into Darth Vader, that he does the ultimate cliche thing when he is turned into plastic helmet man and finds out that Padme is dead; By standing in the middle of a dark room with the emperor in his cloak in the background laughing evilly as Vader screams out.. “Nooooooooooooooooo ” God. The only good part of the whole movie was the scene at the volcanic planet, where you see Padme’s heart break, Anakin complete his transition into the dark side, and Obiwan’s heart shatter and his belief in Anakin destroyed in that one line.. “You were the chosen one, you were supposed to destroy the Sith, not join with them!”
Here’s a twist, ultimately, he does destroy the Sith, with the help of his son Luke. Where he throws the emporer off into the shaft of the Death Star in Return of the Jedi. Gotta love it.
