Yesterday I went to see The Dark Knight at the cinema.  I really wanted to see the new Miyazaki film, Ponyo on the Cliff, but it would not have been subtitled.  Ironically, I will have to wait until I move back to an English speaking country (or speak Japanese better) before I can watch it.

I admit that I didn't like Batman Begins at all.  Memento ( Read more... )

Yesterday I was suposed to go see Speed Racer with someone I work with, but he never showed up.  It turns out that he didn't really understand me when I told him which screening I bought tickets for, even though he nodded and said, 'OK'.  Why do Japanese people do this?  I think it is to be polite or something, but it is beyond pointless.

Some of the jewlwery was pretty garrish, but there were some lovely art deco pieces and the most goreous art nouveau orchids. The Tiffany diamond is ( Read more... )

I forgot that work starts at 10.00 instead of 8.50 on Mondays, so I am here way too early.  Hence the extremely rare personal post.
