I saw Speed Racer tonight. I must say, I haven’t left a movie theater that charged up since I saw Transformers. The effects were absolutely amazing, not to mention the cute yet deep story, and the little brother. I love the little brother. Anyways, if you haven’t seen it yet YOU MUST GO TO SEE [...]
So. If you haven’t seen the movie you probably want to stop reading now. I’m about to rant. I was disappointed. As with the two previous movies, it would be impossible for someone who hasn’t read the book to understand what happened. A great deal of important plot information was left out and what they [...]
I went to the movies again today, this time with May, Summer, and Kelly! Wednesday is Ladies Day at the theaters here so we get in for half the usual price (usual price being around $18.00). Today we went to see ゲゲゲの鬼太郎 (Gegege no Kitarou). A Japanese movie, obviously, about… I can’t really explain it. [...]
Yesterday I went on a ramble around Meijo Park with Summer. Meijo Park is another of the parks in Nagoya that is famous for the cherry blossoms and with good reason. It was gorgeous. Sadly cherry blossom season is coming to an end. You can see the green poking out among the blossoms and all [...]
A kotatsu is a low table with a heater underneath. These tables are particularly attractive during the winter season. This is a short movie called Kotatsu Cat, it is so cute and funny and awesome you have to watch it too!
So I finally got around to downloading the pictures and videos I took on New Years Eve. May, Kelly, and I went to Atsuta Shrine to ring in the new year with about half of Nagoya. All of the little paths and walkways into the shrine were lined with food, game, fortune, and souvenier stands. [...]
There is nowhere that is safe, the Kewpies are coming! The evidence is as follows: 1. The kewpies were sighted marching in formation across dinner tables in every city in Japan. Diners, too terrified to eat, are dying of starvation in droves. 2. They are possessed by the devil a la The Exorcist. 3. They [...]
Hi everyone. The lag between posts reflects the draining of my creativity and personality by ‘The Man’ (if you haven’t seen Empire Records, you should). Basically Michaels is eating my soul and I need OUT. My Japan interview isn’t until August, so I’m still looking around for jobs. In the meantime I am working very [...]
So, I must say that those two and a half hours spent in the movie theater last night were among the best two and a half hours I have spent in a movie theater since The Return of the King. For one thing, PIRATES. For another thing Captain Jack Sparrow. I’m not going to really [...]
Long time no post, eh? That is because I have been doing so many amazingly interesting things that I haven’t had time to post at all. Nothing but fun, fun, fun all the time. Back on planet Earth, I went over to Sarah’s house this weekend to watch Oscar Wilde plays. She got her hands [...]
