"Aren't we all a little young to live in our memories?"

Said to a friend who longed for the 'good ol' days'. Just a thought, when this generation get the green light to be nostalgic? Not sure what I'm getting at by posting this, but I hope the good times are yet to come.

I had a flow and a format on how I wanted the entry to be, but I kinda gave up halfway.

Not much to say right now. Graduation, China-trip, and Japanese Language Academy have come and gone (I still need to put up pics) and now I'm kinda in the ether before Jet Setting for Japan. I'm just filling my days with catching up with relatives, packing, movies, and random last minute purchases that make little sense (Blu tack and a new razor!). Also, finally got all my forms to Jet, paid for random stuff from my pred, got a mixi account, and sent in most of my Law school stuff to the LSAC, who will forward said stuff to the Law Schools.

Finished Harry Potter like the rest of the world, and I thought it was pretty great. Dark, engaging, jam-packed with action, and a good balance of dry humor. I've started playing Guilty Gear:Accent Core. Still trying to learn 10 kanji a day. Re-watching Hikaru no Go. Finishing up watching Dexter.

I'll be in Miyagi-ken, in a moderately small sized town. I'm looking forward to everything besides the blistering cold and awkward stares. I'm going to start using Windows Live Messenger and Skype from here on out for phone calls and such, they're quite useful on a number of levels.

Random Things

I need a new camera...

New music: Maximo Park. Listen to 'Books from Boxes'. Great band I heard the other say on Xm. You can also listen to their stuff on www.pandora.com

Movies Seen and Rated (not necessarily new): 1) Densha Otoko - Excellent: hilarious and very well put together 'romantic' (though I'd argue that it's not a chick) flick. 2) Match Point - Great: Dark and engaging. Reminded me of 'Closer' for some reason. The characters were very 'real'. 3)Harry Potter: OotP - Excellent: Was not expecting much, but the movie was a surprisingly good condensation OotP. 4) Chuck and Larry - Terrible: Just avoid this one. Unfunny and painfully so.
