Rain, Rain, GO AWAY!!
It was raining again this morning and I got soaked walking to school. So soaked that most of the paper inside my bookbag got wet despite the bag being completely closed. In fact, my arms managed to get wet even though I was wearing my raincoat (the cool one, not the drape one). I fucking hate rain. Hate it!
I'm here in the computer lab this afternoon wasting some time. I went down to City Hall this afternoon and finally got my "Alien Registration Card." Finally, I'm an official resident of Japan. Hooray! It's a cool looking little card which I'll sadly have to return when I leave the country next spring.
I "watched" the Yankees lose their playoff game via the Internet. That sucked. At least the Red Sox didn't do any better. I don't particularly care about any of the remaining teams although it might be nice to see the White Sox win the Series for the first time since 1917.
While browsing the Internet looking for amusement I came across this little gem. It's a funny little pamphlet that anyone who has a blog should enjoy reading. I was actually Googling "kansai gaidai blog" when I found this site. Apparently he studies here once and he has a friend here right now (she's actually in one of my classes).
Mako just e-mailed me about a possible movie date this Thursday. She asked me what I thought about Sin City. Obviously, I love that movie (you can read my review I wrote in the spring) but I'm not sure she knows what she's getting into. Then again, what do I know? Maybe Japanese people are more accepting of violence and human cruelty in films.
...
Maybe not...she just suggested Stealth instead.

Hello Mr. Japanese Citizen!
Rain makes me cranky. Of course, my truck defrost is broken so I have to roll my windows down to keep my windsheild from fogging up...I ought to get that fixed...haha.
I've been lurking for a few weeks now. I wanted to tell you how cool I think the blog is.
I wanted to see Sin City, because I am into that kind of film, you know, gratuitously violent and artistic at the same time. All my guy friends were telling me not to see it. I haven't gone yet. I need to.
So do you like Tarantino at all? I love all of his stuff. But I think the Kill Bill's are my favorite. I watch them when I am cranky.
Later?
AG

The blog depression pamphlet was too funny! Hope you survive any future rain and have fun at the movies!

AG: Hey, slow down there..."resident" does not equal "citizen." For that, I think I'd formally have to accept a Japanese name. Of course, I've already got a few ideas in that department. ^_^
Thanks for the compliment on my blog, I write it for me first but I do love feedback.
Sin City is on DVD in the States at this point (assuming you are in the States) but it only recently hit the Japanese theaters. I highly recommend it, especially if you dig Tarantino's work (which I certainly do). Try to figure out which scene he directed! It's a good one.
Hyde: I knew you'd enjoy that. It's not raining today so, of course, it's hot again. >_<

Weather is the same here, rain, rain, rain. See, you're not alone in that department.
I thought SinCity was great. I love all the camera angles, and the way the stories interfere with each other. It is a great movie. I agree with Dan that everyone should see it, even though it is quite violent and bloody.
