If gravity let us go...

maypirateI`m sitting in a laptop lab, under the guise of doing work for my Joint Seminar group presentation tomorrow.
Okay, so I guess we are actually doing work, in that we`re working on our power point, which right now consists of Masari trying to draw a marijuana leaf for the part on Rastafarianism.
Too bad none of us are high school boys or something...
And that Pairaka went away and Don is watching 24!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Ah, well.
My stomach was hurting in more unpleasant than usual ways yesterday, so I got no paper work done, but at least I did my homework. I was also having crosses between feeling like I wasn`t eating enough and certain I was eating too much, and it`s time to go home.
And I need a haircut like burning.
I think I`m going to ask Aki to see Last Samurai with me this weekend. And there`s another InuYasha movie coming out on the 5th or the 20th. I will see it soon or after I get back.
And I had a zany dream, the details of which I forgot, and oh yeah, I went to Tokyo.
東京!!! 東!! 京!! 東京!!!!
The trip was half amazing, half irritating, and all raining. I did get some serious shopping done, and even came back with $100!!! And Akihabara and Shibuya stole my heart. Cultural centers be damned, I am clearly meant for no culture and shiny. I want to go back. I also ate Chinese food for the first time in months and spent several hours talking with Megan, Reid, in Kevin in a dorm-sized room, so it felt very pleasantly college. And the Nozomi Shinkansen was fabulous.
..I realized that in Eva, Hikari and her sisters -Kodama and Nozomi- all have the same names as the Shinkansen models. Coincidence? I think not! I just don`t know on which end.
Anyway, I suppose I should help my group now, but Suzie is also doing online journal stuff so I don`t feel so bad.
Oh, and I bought a trendy Japanese sweater yesterday.
G-d help the wicked.

Date: 2003-12-02 09:57 pm (UTC)I had a dream about you! You were home and I was at your house, but I hadn't gone to pick you up at the airport so I was feeling really bad. You were making mushy rice and I told you it's good for stomach aches and that it's called okayu in Japanese. You then took the rice made it into a loaf and sliced it. I don't know how, but you did! Then your mom came in and I can't remember what we talked about. Then your dad came downstairs half asleep and went into the guest room. Then two other women (aunts?) came downstairs and scolded your mom for not caring for him properly. It was all somewhat comical. But you were very serious about your rice/bread...thingy... anyway you didn't say much. That's it!

Date: 2003-12-03 04:55 am (UTC)i have a comment on the trains situation.
the railroad system is a big things to a lot of people, i guess anno must be a huge fan. you can see this in another one of his movies, "shiki jitsu" aka "ritual." I watched this movie by myself, but its pretty cool. Shunji Iwai (another director) stars as the protaganist but the lines are blurred as to whether its Shunji Iwai speaking Hideaki Anno's lines or Shunji Iwai speaking as himself. There are whole segments where Shunji Iwai (or is it Shuji Iwai playing Hideaki Anno?) speaks about the trains and the older trains, and very many shots that take place on the trains.
