watch I did

I saw star wars this afternoon. I had had a craving for cinema for a while - it's been a year at least, and although the first two episodes were utter pish, I sensed there would be more to this one. it was like I had been drawn in by a force.......and I was right to have listened to my feelings.

I eventually arrived at the new town, mall complex just before the movie started but the seats were 2400yen (or �12.25) in the premier cinema, so I went for a salad and a nan-curry-hot-dog over at mos burger - quality fast food. I even had to wait. it's funny that you get a menu-calorie chart as the paper on your tray at mos. only in japan, neh? anyway - I guess my meal equated to the difference between a reclining chair and big speakers in the premier cinema and waiting for my absolutely adequate 1800yen seat in economy at the next showing.

there was only 8 people in the cinema which probably accounts for the high seat prices. or is it the other way around. and you know women get in for 1000yen on wednesdays? bloody sexist - mind you I think wages aren't equal. and most things aren't, so actually it's probably fair. I should have waited til tomorrow and put on some lipstick.

they say malls are our new cathedrals and certainly many aspects of this statement are true: they're gigantic structures. alot of people go there on a sunday. you go there if you feel down. you get brainwashed by salesmen. and so, like a modern urban dweller I headed off on my weekend to worship my religion.

and, you know, I really felt better for it. yoda never threatened burning in hell.
