The Midnight Special

24 hours ago, i was sitting in a theater, watching an anime with Ken, Nathan and Crystal. we saw "Ghost in the Shell: Innocence" the visuals were absolutely fantabulous, and the story picked up relatively well from the first movie. and, with Nathan's help and my fresh biology knowlege, i was able to pick up on the story without having to see it twice, though i wouldnt mind doing so. the first one, which we saw before hand at nathan's house was pretty good. good visuals, deep story, intelectual plot. the second was just amazing to watch, the only problem, was that since it was shown in its native japanese, i think i missed out on some of the visual impact of the movie since i was reading much of the time, and sometimes its tougher to follow whats going on if i am reading dialogue while missing out on the action. i agree with nathan when he suggested that it be viewed twice, once in japanese for the superior voice acting and the visuals, and once in english to really grasp the story and dialogue. not necessarily in that order... anyways, if you are an anime fan, like a good action movie with great visuals, understand japanese or all of the above, i recomend this movie.

as for the rest of the night, it was spent either playing mario kart with Nathan and Crystal (Ken was.... "preoccupied") and at either Barnes &Noble or Burger King. and of course, in transit to and from the great cityt by the bay. i didnt get home til about 2:30 last night, didnt hit the hay until about 4. Margot was online so we chatted on into the wee hours of the morning.

today, i went into the city, yep, again. my aunt from McFarland (in SoCal) was in town and she made enchiladas at my grandma's house. mmm, mmmmm, good. we also saw the second half of "My Cousin Vinnie" followed immediately by the second half of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." whatever, it was good times. dogs sure had a blast. thats all for now.
