Purple… Monkey… Dishwasher
December 16, 2003
I’ve been neglecting my little site lately but I will not apologize. It is my site. Let’s just blame it on a lack of news and effort. I’ve been having a pretty relaxing little while. I’m just catching up on Japanese class and laundry piles and bits of correspondence and the such. I’ve been trying to avoid the weather because it is god awful cold now.
Anyway, I put up a picture of the temple that’s near my house. I took a dozen pictures there and I think this came out the best - that is, it was the least blurry and had the neatest lighting. Looking back though, I wish I took it at a faster shutter speed because the leaves on the trees are too blurred… not the effect I was looking for. Also, a new webcam. I couldn’t think of what to ‘cam so I just snapped a pic of good ol’ me. Dennis said it was the first time he had seen me in a year when we webcammed on messenger. So, here I am! It’s been noted that I’m the splitting image of Keanu Reeves a la Matrix. It’s true you know!
Yet another empty update today. I promise that when the first interesting thing happens, I’ll be here to write about it.
EDIT—
Actually I do have some things to say. Firstly, doom3.com, oh man… drooling sexual appetite increasing.
Second, I saw The Last Samurai on Saturday and i absolutely loved it. Tom Cruise was a minor character in the movie, the big star was Ken Watanabe, who played Katsumoto. Mr. Watanabe’s presence on screen was about 50,001 times stronger than that of Tommy boy. He is my new hero. Not only is he the embodiment of COOL, he was bald in the movie and still looked cool. As a man suffering from a receding hairline, I feel a bit better that bald men such as Watanabe can still be sexy and awesome. Oh man I so want to be a samurai now and cut shit with swords. Oh yeah, they had ninjas in the movie too. If only they took out Tom Cruise and made the whole movie about Ken Watanabe and the samurai folk, I would’ve watched it twice in succession.
