Revenge of the Sith - Thai Night

I saw Sith on Thursday, and I think it was probably the best of the pre(post)-movies. I went with Yun Jung, my student/gambling sidekick. She had seen none of the other movies, but seemed to really enjoy it also. The only thing that really bothered me, though not nearly as much as Episode I, is the campy style of all the scenes involving emotion. They just don't seem real to me and detract from my immersion into the movie. I never had this problem with parts 4-6. Ah well.

Within the boundaries of Melbourne, one may occasionally find ethnic nights at some of the various nightclubs in the city. Last night was 'Thai Night', so thats where I went. I went with 6 Thai guys who I've befriended here. It was nice to be out and speaking Thai, but the scene was pretty boring. I managed to convince most of them to leave, go to a cheaper pub and return later. That ended up being considerably more interesting. We were out until 4am or so and then I crashed at one of their places in the city. I got up at 11 to meet Yun. We talked for a while before visiting CC where I managed to win some cash from the casino. After that I taught my other student.

Hung out with Lia tonight. We just had dinner and gambled and stuff. Not too exciting.
