Hey, no complaints here...
...Other than... it's weekends like this where I wished I lived in Tokyo. I'd be all over that city - exploring the crap out of it, and it's so easy to get around there and take side trips to nearby attractions. But no, I live in Yamagata. I love Yamagata, but sometimes I just want to be in the city.
So I didn't have much planned for this weekend. I kind of like the fact that I can just rest and take it easy. I've been doing some reading. Again, I'm working on multiple books - I really need to drop that habit. I've started on Atonement. I watched the movie first, and I didn't like it as much as other people did. But already, I'm preferring the book over the film.
Speaking of films, I went to Tsutaya and finally signed up to rent from them. I'm sorry Geo, but Tsutaya has a better selection. I came in on a good day though, cause it just so happened that they were having a 3 day sale, where all normal movies were only 100 yen to rent! Amazing!
I walked out with 7 DVDs and a new membership card. LOL
- めがね - Have yet to watch. Some film about glasses? I'm not sure, but it's in Japanese - this should be fun.
- ゲゲゲの鬼太郎 - Have yet to watch. Part 2 of this film has just released in theaters. It's based on a long-running manga series, which I haven't read, but it seemed weird and interesting.
- Stomp The Yard - Watched. 3/5 stars. Story was predictable, but the dancing was very, very entertaining.
- When Harry Met Sally - Watched. 4/5 stars. I've seen this before, but I just felt like renting it again.
Can men and women really be 'friends'?
- Heroes Season 1, Disc 1 - Have yet to watch. Rented it to see what all the hype was about.
- Friends Season 8, Disc 2 - Have yet to watch. Need this to pump me up when I'm getting ready in the mornings.
- L'Auberge Espagnole (The Spanish Apartment) - Have yet to watch. Rented it because I adore Audrey Tautou.
So I'm not sure what/why we have Marine Day. But here's and ode to my favorite sea creature: the MANATEE!

Manatees,
Loaves of bread dough that were meant to be dolphins but were baked it as is. Someone said, "Gomen", flattened the tail, gave it a sad face so people would feel sad about it, equipped it to only eat vegetation and turned it loose hoping no one would find out.
Ah, they're not that bad...they're definitely cruisers though.
The Spanish Apartment is a really good movie I think... I love all the cultures and languages under one apartmnet.
