    I thought Luke and Nellith were meant to team up to fight Vader? And that the original was meant to span over about 8 episodes (ROTJ was meant to be just about the rescue of Han) but then Lucas went through the divorce and just wanted to wrap the series up, so he retconned Leia to be the sister.

    I wish we could have had the “Luke searches for and trains his sister” arc.








  • I got my ears vacuumed the other day at the ENT clinic. Unfortunately I’m one of those people that gets a lot of wax build up. Copying the grown ups using cotton buds to clear the wax just meant I was constantly getting ear infections as a kid. As an adult, I’d get wax build up, I’d try olive oil as my GPs would always recommend, only that would make it clog up more and muffle my hearing. Then the only way to get that big plug of soggy wax out was either to fish it out with a bit of screwed up tissue or a cotton bud, or to blast it with the power shower to dislodge it.

    I finally perforated my ear drum in September from an infection that went to the middle ear. Anyway, I got my ears vacuum cleaned on Thursday and was told by the ENT doctor to use a pharmaceutical grade olive oil spray (not drops) every day forever to stop the wax clogging. So let’s hope that works.

    I think I was given peroxide based ear drops once when I was 12 or so, but it made my jaw swell so much I couldn’t even eat.
