View From the Bushes

Continuing the Star Wars theme we seem to have going, I recently stumbled across Darth Vader's blog. It's somewhat uneven, but parts of it are hilarious and there are even a couple of touching parts, which show depth of feeling I predict we are unlikely to see in Episode III. An example:

When the droid left I opened the small compartment on my chest where I keep my token of her. Every time I take it out to hold it, I vow it will be the last time, and that I will crush it in my fist when I have found my peace. But that peace comes only nine tenths of the way and I find myself closing the compartment, the token once again esconsed inside.

For an example of the funny:

I did my famous corpse of Mace Windu imitation, which made Fett snort wine through his nose. "This party's over," I quipped, and Fett howled. Long ago Windu was First Speaker of the Jedi High Council, a fierce warrior who slew Boba's father and tried to kill my master. In vain, of course. These days the Emperor uses Windu's purple light-sabre to trim his hedges.

Having thus stolen the bulk of my content from someone else, I'll close for the day. That, or I could whine about being called back into work yesterday after being home for ten minutes... What's that? You want me to end? Okay.
