i had a lengthy discussion with my friend min today. amongst the topics of conversation were…relationships, the definition of happiness, social and cultural mechanisms, monogamy vs polygamy, and patriarchal vs matriarchal controls (the latter being referred to as “pussy-whipped“). during the car-ride back into manhattan after work, i had another discussion about such things as race, racial generalizations, cultural contributions to society, and nature vs. nurture. i think ive had enough discussions for today.
i met jess for din in chinatown today. i dont think ive actually ever had dinner in chinatown on a weekday. it was oddly empty…oddly empty. i never noticed the obvious, but chinatowns kinda creepy at nite when theres no one on the streets. we ate at the shanghai restaurant on bayard, and afterwards i grabbed bubble tea and came home to swing around my spank new light saber. it was actually delivered yesterday, but i didnt get batteries to power up the baby til today. the red blade fires up when u flick it on (the light actually “extends” as if it were a real light saber) and it makes sound fx when you swing the thing around and/or smack various people with it. very coo. the thing however could do with a damn volume knob. the buggers pretty loud.
oooh, ooh, bring the light saber to work! well, maybe not if it’s really loud.
hmm…are u nuts? aside from its loud booming “fwoooosh“s, ill get weird looks on the subway. mebbe ill dress up as a jedi and bring to work on halloween. no wait, that sounds fanboy…
is it that big that people would see it on the subway? i guess if you were walking around with that, the cops might give you a strange look before shooting you. and yes, that would be fanboy.
and is that photo real or is there photoshopping?
yes yes – i’m very curious as to how the actual “blade” looks.
the actual blade lights up pretty nicely…but not bright enuf to catch on camera. so yea, its photoshopped (the “blade” is real…i just added more glow)
and are you kidding? “is it that big??” the hilt itself is a foot long, and the blade is over 3 feet…id say itd be pretty noticeable.
wait, is there an acutal blade section? or does it just project the light?
egad. click on the img for the unphotoshopped version…
So the blade is pink? Is this some sort of homo-wars? Did it come with a rainbow colored jedi robe?
yea…it came with a rainbow colored robe, but it actually had “flattire” scrawled across its back for some reason.
the blade is red u tard. if you’ve ever used a nikon 4500, ud understand why its such a bitch to get color accuracy…
jus get one and see its ass-kicking-ness for urself. you can get the luke skywalker one and be all pansy goody goody.
