hot damn

two things to talk about:

1. Harry Potter 4. Book was definately better. I'm a little shocked by the reviews that came out saying it was the best potter movie thus far. I really liked the third one better. I'm not sure if thats because the book was shorter and easier to translate to the screen or what. But in the movie, they had to skip over a lot of details that would have added a lot more to the story. Its already a 2 1/2 hour movie, so I understand they need to cut some things out, but there just seemed to be a lot of things that got glossed over. The last scene wasn't as good as I thought it would be either. In the book, it all built up so high, and there was a lot of tension. Maybe because I already knew what was going to happen, it was a little deflated. Its hard to tell. All I can say difinatively, is that the movie is ok, but I enjoyed the book more than film.

2. I'm currently at the airport. Its the day before Thanksgiving and I'm on my way to Japan. My trip unfortunately got cut short a week. I would have much rather had that extra week, but what can you do? I wonder if I'll meet any more famous (?) bands like I did on my last trip. (Good Charlotte). Anyway, I'll be landing in Tokyo on thanksgiving and heading out to see Mitsuki's family for the weekend. We've got some events (i.e. onsen) planned, and I want to tour a little of Kagoshima to see what its like.

Unfortunately, first thing I did when I got to the airport lounge was spill coffee on my white sweater. This kinda sucks. I washed most of it out in the bathroom, but there's still a brown stain right on the chest area. Good start to the trip eh? I've got another hour before the plane boards so hopefully the sweater will dry a bit before then. Other than that, I'm wondering what movies will be shown on the flight. Seriously, I enjoy these long haul flights (except when you're in coach). In case there isn't anything good on, I've brought the first season of Arrested Development to entertain me. speaking of which...I think I'll watch an episode. Later all
