Nope, not really. I just watched these two movies and ran through another day of vacation. I'm not even going to pretend like I'm writing movie reviews here. I'm mostly just pointing out which movies I liked and which ones sucked. Dark Floors was pretty and had some decent effects, but the dialogue was terrible. One of the freaktastic ghosts was called the "scream queen" and thewhole story revolved around a autistic girl in a wheel chair who could control ghosts with her mind. Rescue Dawn was a POW escape movie based of some real life events. It was kind of like Behind Enemy Lines mixed with Cast Away. It pretty much had the theme of any army POW movie with the length of Cast Away.
I went out to Tennoji to look for some new kicks too, but that wasn't exactly productive. For some reason finding a shoe in a size 10 is rare in Japan. They pretty much stop at 28 cm, which is 2cm short of the shoes I'm wearing now. I never really thought of my shoe size as being exceptional so it's pretty amazing to have a store give me the, "Umm, we don't have anything that big," response. Moreover, when I asked the guy if he had a nice leather Rockport shoe in my size he brought back a Vans rip off of the old Converse shoes because it was the ONLY size 30 in the store. Going from brown leather to black canvas is a little bit of a jump. What it boils down to is that I have to shop for my shoes on line if I want to find them in my size. That's great in America but it's kind of a drag with most Japanese distributors not having English on their web sites.
Tomorrow is another day off so I'm going to try to get some studying and reading done. If I hit up the kanji lesson really hard I might score my first 100 on the next test.
